Attorney Doubts County
Right In Airport Case

surplus several weeks ago, local
citizens and officials have endeav-
ored to have the Army retain
the base as a permanent military
installation.
Bellamy today told the commits
sions that If the county, does not
or cannot accept the airport, be-
lieve negotiations leading to the
governments keeping it might con-
tinue.''
Declaring that he did not con-

II think we ought to move heaven
and earth to get Uncle Sam to re-
tain it, ...
To which Commissioner Harry
Gardner, who has represented the
county in negotiations relating to
Bluethenthal and who accompa-
MED Hewlett to Washington last
week, replied, We've never in
sisted that they turn it back over
to us. We've done everything we
know to keep it,
In answer to question posed
by Hewlett, Bellamy said he
agreed that an airport was a valu-
able asset to community, but not
if operated or leased by the coun-
ty. He said he did not believe the
county could secure sufficient rent
to maintain the field.
Gardner then pointed out that
other municipal airports within the
state are being operated success
fully.
When Bellamy voiced an objec-
ton to the county's taking over
due to the immensely of the field,
Gardner said that all the acreage
and facilities wouldn't necessarily
have to be used.
Hewlett explained that the gov.
eminent was turning back 900 air.

agency recognized the fields as
part of a national air program.
When government proposition
is received, it is understood that
it will include a stipulation that the
base must be used for public inter.

whom it is operated.
Acceptance or rejection of the
offer lies entirely with the board,
the chairman repeated.
