TODAY'S
STOCK MARKET

NEW YORK R- The stock
market had a wide mixture Of
gains and losses today in early
dealings.
The railroads, steels, and air
crafts did well. However, there
were plenty of minus signs in the
oils, coppers, and chemicals.
Changes in either direction went
to around q point. Quite a few
leaders remained unchanged.
Royal Dutch Petroleum, at the
top of yesterdays most active list
up 2ss, opened today on 1000 shares
off " at 6911, and then traded a
little lower than that.
Among gaining stocks were Boe-
ing, Douglas Aircraft, Bethlehem
Steel, American Telephone, Alumi-
mum Ltd, Santa Fe, and Southern
Railway.
Lower were General Motors,
Montgomery Ward, United Air
craft, American Smelling, Union
Carbide, and American Tobacco.

that your Board reconsider such
proposal which we confirm in writ.
ing as follows:
1. National to pay $350.00 per
month retroactive to January 1.
1854, and to continue to pay S35O. 90
per month until the improved ia
ciiitles Authorized by the Board, in
Guiding new runways, new termin-
al building, etc., are available for
use. 1t was further agreed that Ma
tional would pay an additional S75.-
90 per month building charge, pro-
vided such charge has been paid
for the past year of 1853 to the
Navy. However, upon a check of
Nationals records, it appears that
no such charge of $500 for the
present building has been levied or
paid. Nationals total charge until
January l, 1854, for all facilities
at Meacham Airport, has been at
a rate of $1,000 per day, or about
$4,000 per month. Therefore, our
present offer is to pay $35O.0O per
month, an increase of $4,000 per
month, from January /, 1854, to the
date of the availability of the new
facilities.
2. At the date of the AVAILABLE
ty of the new facilities, National
will pay, according to the terms of
a contract to be executed, a fee
of 100000 per month for all such
facilities, including runways, space
in the terminal building as propos-
ed, etc. This $4,000 per month fee
will result in Nationals paying an
increase of 100 per cent over the
present monthly fee. 1t is pointed
out that such fee is three hundred
per cent or more than National
pays at comparable cities it serves.
It is is our sincere believe that
this proposal is more than reason.
able. Even though extremely high,
the offer is made in spirit of CO.
operation with your Board to i'm
prove the inadequate and obsolete
facilities now available at Key
West.
Respectfully yours,
| NATIONAL AIRLINES, INC.

Assistant Vice President

COPIES OF LETTERS
CONTINUED from Page One,

will inaugurate this service as soon
as it has been approved by the Gu.
ban government. In such event,
the Havana service through Key
West will be operated with the
four-engine equipment mentioned
above.
In view Of the runway limita-
tons, 1t is clear that expansion at
Meacham Airport to accommodate
greater traffic volume and larger
equipment would be impossible.
Because Of the above limitations,
as well as the lack of funds, it is
further suggested that the Board
should carefully review the pro-
posed plans with regard to the fol-
lowing alternatives which National
believes have considerable merit.
It is Nationals sincere belief that
a less hazardous and more far.
sighted approach to the present
airport problem at Key West would
be as follows:
(a) Retain Meacham Airport and
make necessary improvements to
render it adequate to handle local
and itinerant private aircraft and
attendant activities.
(b) Make arrangements with the

highly unrealistic. For instance.
the maintenance and stating costs
at Valdosta, Georgia, are approx
mately SO, 10000 per year, subs
tantially less than the SIS, 900 90
projected for Meacham Airport,
and needless to say, a further re-
duction in such costs would neces-
sarily result if the taxiways were
eliminated and the terminal build
ing reduced in size as suggested
above.
The notifications suggested in
Alternative No. 2 wuld reduce
costs for improvements at Mea-
cham Airport by approximately
s24O, 100000 and thereby make it
possible for the Board to levy rea-
sonable charges to the airlines
necessary to retire the debt and
provide funds for maintenance and
stating, while at the same time
reducing the financial loan com.
mitments by the County.
In the event that the Board in
| its review of the above sugges-
tons and proposed alternatives de-
cides that it will continue to con-
struct the facility as set forth in
its proposed plans and does not de-
sire to alter its plans in any man.
er whatever, National viii agree
to execute a lease agreement with
the County under the specific terms
and conditions set forth below in
addition to the general terms and
conditions usually contained in air
pert leases:
(a) Landing fees to be Sc per
thousand pounds of standard gross
landing weight with the proviso
that National will pay a minimum
of $4,000 per month, such mini
mum charge to be eliminated when
the bond issue or indebtedness pre-.
sently contemplated is liquidated.
(b) Terminal rental charge at
the going rate of approximately
$500 per square foot. per year.
(c) Such fees to be effective upon
the completion and availability for
use of the proposed improvements.
National points out that the pro.
posed plan and the fees set forth
above are not justified for the rea.
sons outlined in this letter. AS the
Board knows, National voluntarily
paid the County $4,000 per month
for the use Of the present facilities
for several years to aid the Coun.
ty in its development program
even though the $4,000 monthly
fee has been and still is 100 per
cent or more than National pays
to other comparable cities for bet.
ter facilities.
The Boards request for fees in
excess of $4,000 per month are
unreasonable under the circum.
stances. However, in the spirit Of
cooperation, National tenders the
above offer so as to assist the
Board in carrying out is proposed
plan should the Board decide to dc
so. The above offer will result in
the County's realizing for landing
and terminal charges a sum of ap'
proximately 100000 per month
