Airport Need Emphasized By City Auditor At Dothan Rotary
City auditor J L Vaughn told the Dothan Rotary Club the city owes 2 271 000 dollars and cannot issue much more than 100 000 in bonds without breaking state law. Interest on debt runs about 129 999 annually, and the city can pay off debt at 50 000 a year. He urged airport development as vital to growth, even predicting delays would handicap Dothan like missing railroads or highways. Mayor Ezell supported municipal ownership of the airport with a favorable land offer and notes at 6 percent financed over many years. New board elected: Spann, Renfroe, Whitfield, Malone, Newton, Campbell, Jones.
