ced the establishment of a Trust
Department, having received for
NAL approval from the Comp

and Governor J. Willard Tawes
has been invited to participate. 1t
was not known this morning how
ever, whether he would be able to
be here.
Carl Schell, president of the
County Commissioners, said that
due to the time element, no spe-
cial invitations had been mailed
to dignitaries and other Interested
persons, but he hoped a large
crowd would be on hand for the
affair.
Actually the contractors planned
to move some top soil today and
also Friday and Saturday.
The time for completion of the
project was not given but Mr..
Schell said the contractors planned
to do as much work as possible
yet this year but that the pouring
of the runway may have to be de-
layed until next spring.
The amount of the contract price
with the HazelWood company Is
S245,908, Mr.. Schell said.
The awarding of the contract
brought to close the first phase
of the project which has been
underway for more than two years.
Plans have been sent in returned
for changes, delayed upon nu-
merous occasions. Deaths of fed
eral officials caused further de-
lays. But all hurdles apparently
have now been cleared.
