Port Clinton airport committee,
comprised jointly of local business
men and city officials, it was de-
cided to make an investigation of

before calling another meeting of
the probing body.

on the standing with the city, of
the former Peninsular Airways
Corp, which is now dissolved as
an operating organization.
Mayor Becker suggested that all
records pertaining to the airport
be scrutinized by the commit
tee back to January / of this year.
adding there has to be a starting
point for such study, and that
date comedies with our becoming

during the dashing rainstorm be-
cause small branch broke from
a tree and fell on three main feed

caused them to melt from the in
tense heat One of the lines was a
heavy duty industrial feed cable.
The freak incident occurred at
SIS p. M, just as hundreds of
families were preparing their eve-
ming meals. Many homes having
electric ranges had to 60 meal-less

railroad was affected by the black
out. The western portion of the
city was not, being on different
circuit.
