the campus of Brevard college.
Work was started on six new
homes and the rest of the per

Notice Filed,
Committee Sees
Great Need Here
Transylvanians will vote for
or against a $75,000 bond issue
for an airport in Transylvania
in the General Election on
November 8th.
Notice of the election was
filed this week by the Tran
sylvania Board of County
Commissioners.
Any person or taxpayer may
protest against the issuance of
such bonds at a meeting of
the board on Sept. 26th at
10:00 a.m.
The commissioners have ap
pointed an Airport committee
made up of Spencer Hammill,
Jack Bryant, Jack Mitchell and
Gil Coan.
Because of no train service
in the county, limited bus serv
ice and no new major high
ways in Transylvania during
the past 35 years, the commit
tee says there is a dire need
for an adequate airport.
If Transylvanians vote for
the bond issue, the Federal
Government will pay $75,000
toward the construction of the
airport.
The committee further
states that if the issue does
not pass, the county might not
receive the federal grant
since the program is up before
congress for renewal at the
ppdleift time.
The Federal Aviation Auth
ority inspected the county and
chose a site for an airport.
This site is centrally located
in the county so that all would
benefit uniformly from It.
