man William Rogell that Common

new city airport between 8 and g.
Mile roads in favor of a site be-
tween II and 14-Mile roads was
referred to the mayors airport

Rogell introduced his resolution,
which set forth that the approved
site is too small and would force
the demolishing of 354 homes in
the area.
The sugges new site at
Schoenherr, IL and 14-Mile and
Church roads, is farm land, is
larger. and is near the Grand
Trunk railroad, making il possible
for plane users to take train into
Detroit, Rogell pointed out. and
making il easier to supply gas and
