McColloch, head of the joint city county aviation committee for Smart Field, urged St. Charles officials to drop casualty insurance from airport lease contracts. He said premiums of 2000 to 3000 yearly are wasteful and funds could go to runway and improvement projects. The plan will be discussed at next Tuesday’s committee meeting. the note also mentions a 19 year old St. Charles High School graduate assigned to the 178th Airborne Brigade in Vietnam.
