National has given careful consi-
Iteration to the matter. It is res
pectfully suggested, not for the pur-
pose of engaging in controversy,
but to be helpful in programming
sound and business-like airport
policy for Key West that certain of
our observations of the proposed
plans viii be Of assistance to the
Board in arriving at its final de-
termination. These suggestions are
based upon our experience as a
scheduled air carrier for many
years, serving thirty-two cities on
the Eastern Seaboard, as well as
the Great Lakes area and the
Southern Transcontinental area
through interchange with other car.
riers. Our suggestions are set forth
herein.
The expenditure of $3.50, 100000 as
proposed should be reconsidered
for the following reasons:
!. The proposed program is am.
bilious because of the lack of funds
and in view of the fact that even
with the contemplated improve
ments Meacham Airport will have
serious limitations and restrictions
with regard to the size of aircraft
which can safely operate off its
runways.

more serious with increased traf-

of the lack of required runway
