City Council Puts Airport Question on Nov 3 Ballot
Mayor Edwin W Wade and Councilmen Wayne Sharp Thomas J Clark and Ray Kealer proposed placing the airport issue on the November 3 ballot. The draft ordinance would extend the western runway end by 900 feet and the eastern end by 1 150 feet totaling 7 468 feet. Sharp argued extending for western takeoffs would shift jet noise to his district and urged a vote against the measure. The absent council member has been ill since June 20.
