Raleigh Airport Must Be Lighted To Airmail Stops
Raleigh officials report the government plans a Richmond to Jacksonville air mail line with beacons every 10 miles and emergency fields every 30 miles. The post office department has not approved Raleigh as a stop and will consider it only if the Raleigh airport is lit for night flying. The route could be ready by January 1931, with contracts possibly awarded in summer.
