Airport Seeks Two More Guards for Terminal Security
The airport board and chamber of commerce discuss adding two security guards as the new terminal construction nears completion. Rental rates for airline space are eyed at 7.61 dollars per square foot, with possible 223 396 dollars yearly toward operating costs. Landing fees are under negotiation, starting 20 cents per thousand pounds in 1974 and rising to 50 cents over 20 years, while current charges are 15 cents. Off duty police as security are deemed not feasible, and a cost comparison favors full-day guard coverage over mixed staffing.

Comptroller Calvert raised revenue estimates by 108.4 million, while a Supreme Court school finance ruling could add 300 million per year in costs.
