Solomon Wants
 Landing Airstrip

The Chamber of Commerce is in receipt of a petition from the citizens of Solomon asking for support on the construction of an airstrip for Solomon.
 The petition states that they would like and have urgent need for an airstrip back of the town on the west side, near the vicinity of the Alaska Native Service School building.
 They state that the nearest field is at the Lees Mining Camp, which is too far away from the town and inconvenient.
 AS matters now stand their mail service is very irregular and often times the mail has been found lying out on the field with out notice.
 Freight consigned to individuals is sometimes left for days on the field without the consignee being notified.
 The petition states further that the beach line is soft with "obsta- cles such as driftwood scattered about making it unsafe for the landing of planes" and they feel that it would be of advantage for all concerned, especially for com- mercial business and passenger accommodations; emergency land ings, etc, to have an airstrip at Solomon.

ed for $66.517,14s Of the 1913
