Airport Installs
Floodlight System

Through the foresight of Mayor
Richard H. Sweeney, the municipal
Airport is now being equipped with
an up-to date lighting system, that
will floodlight the airport, and at no
cost to the city of Hagerstown.
Realizing that floodlights were
vitality necessary, due to the use of
the airport for the landing of big
transport planes, bringing wounded
men from overseas for transporta-
ton to the Newton D. Baker Hospi-
tai at Martinsburg, Mayor Sweeney.
on July 10, sent the following letter
to the Commanding General of the
Army Air Forces, Washington, D. c.:
Dear Sir:
Authority is requested for the
installation of field lights at the Mu-
nicipal Airport, Hagerstown, Mary
land. All equipment necessary for
the installation is on hand and
awaiting release.
"It is deemed advisable by this
office that these lights be installed
as soon as possible due to the fact
that the Air Transport Command is
using these facilities for the evacu-
alton of patients to and from the
Newton d. Baker General Hospital
at Martinsburg, West Virginia. 1t
is expected that this airport will be
used until the facilities at Martins
burg are made available which will
be some time in the late summer or
fall. There are also occasional
emergency landings made by transi-
ent aircraft
Anything that your Office can do
to obtain release for the installation
of field lights will be appreciated.
VERY truly yours,
RICHARD H. SWEENEY. -
A few days later, authority for the
release of the necessary equipment
was given and the work of installing
the lights begun.
The installation, a $4,000 project,
is being financed entirely by the
Federal Government and will be
completed within sixty days.
