More Sites For Airport Viewed
Three additional possible sites for the proposed municipal airport were examined last week by Mayor Wertz and city council members. One site was the Cabell farm, another the county lend adjoining the Four-H fair grounds, and a tract near Institute owned by the Percy Marks and Ferguson Land companies. Since the price on the Virginian rubber plant site proved prohibitive, officials also examined the MacCorkie land near Wintfet, the Battes tract at Coal River falls, and the Payne land at Cross.

The city can raise about 170000 over three years with the maximum airport levy to buy equip and maintain an airport until self supporting. Mayor Wertzman sets a 30000 allotment with Payne tract as the likely site, county land possible but uninvestigated. Grading costs may be high if Payne is purchased and the county site could be reasonable if suitable.
