Council Buys 12.6 Acres of Airport Land
Austin councilmen voted to acquire 12.6 acres at the city airport for 412.50 an acre after months of negotiations. The land, at the airport’s south end, fills needed space per civil aviation engineers. Payment splits: city one sixth, state one third, federal government one half. The move completes land for the airport improvement program and ends condemnation on Conlon Johnson holdings. The council also settled annual license items and kept pinball licenses at 100 machines with 70 from Austin Sales and 30 from Gopher Sales Co.
