For this and other reasons unknown the meeting at the courthouse on Tuesday afternoon was quite small. The commissioners discussed ways and means of having an airport with those present and with a represen tative of the Civil Aeronautics Au thority who was present. The con clusion reached was that it is prob ably advisable and will be beneficial for this town and county to have an airport. The CAA representative in formed the gathering that bills were at present before congress autho rizing the government to pay as much as any community pays to ward building an airport for that community. He also gave some in teresting information on the size of the tract of land needed and other physical characteristics necessary for the most economical construction of a good field. A committee to further investi gate the advisability and practica bility of the scheme was appointed. This included Tom Cameron, J. H. Blue, Ben Currie, N. H. G. Balfour, Mrs. P. P. McCain, Mrs. W.
