Many factors influence the

ships" he added. Items such
as size of field, size and design
of ship, wind direction, and
temperature affect them great
ly."
William Schwarz, Airport
Engineer for the American Air
Lines in Kansas City, Mo, tes-
titled yesterday before the jury
that in all probability the pro-
posed site could become class
4 air field, of the highest prac-
ticability.
Testimony concerning the
need and desirability of such an
airstrip was given yesterday by
three expert witnesses who in
cluded, besides Schwarz, Will
liam j. Wallace, engineer for the
City Of Detroit, and Frank NJ,
Burg, traffic manager for the
American Air Lines in Detroit.
Burg, under questioning,
stated that air line passenger
traffic in and out Of Detroit will
total 10000 a month after the
war. During peak periods, Burg
said, about sc planes will leave
Detroit per hour. Five years
ago, American Air Lines were
running IA ships in and out c\
the city each day, but at the
present we are operating "a
ships a day.
On the stand, Schwarz added
as a point of information that
pilots are allowed a IS per cent
bank in taking off and that a
three-hundred-foot clearance of
obstacles must be made.
Air fields are classed accord
ing to practicability, a class 4
field being the highest. How
ever many factors enter into
the classification of a field de-
pending upon proximity Of
tanks, smoke stacks, size and
shape.
The mile-square area under
litigation includes 1873 pieces of
property and 527 structures
which would require razing
should the jury find in favor
of the City of Detroit which
seeks to condemn it. The ter
ritory is bounded by Eight Mile,
Ryan, Dequindre, and Nine
Mile roads.
The jury, composed OF two
men and twelve women, visited
the scene of the proposed land
ing field Monday and Tuesday

ing and taking of testimony be-
gan Wednesday. The case is be-
ing heard by Circuit Judge AL

sion were guests Of the Rotary
Club at their Medea luncheon
session Thursday, with Rotary
president-elect Harold Lindsay
swinging the gavel and Isaac A..
Hartung in charge of the inter-

at the same time ring in a few
"old timers " recollections to
add spice to the telling.
Arch N. Richards, Rotarian,
told of the city's old Alderman
ic system, and entertained guests
with "reminiscences of the
Bloody Third Ward"-the area
east of Gratiot and south of
Macomb-of which he was
about the last aldermanic repre-
sentative.
Lindsey reviewed the recon-
mended charter improvements,
including a proposed, municipal
court instead of the present judi
icial system; a one-mill tax for
building improvements, and pro-
vision for Civil Service and a
pension program.
City Attorney Bert V. Nun
neley also discussed aspects of
the charter program, and Pro-
gram Chairman Hartung joined
in the comments.
