Air mail expansion plan packets to Congress
Washington February 29. Officials draft a broad air mail expansion program for submission to the coming congress. The plan seeks an increased annual air mail appropriation from 12 million to 15 million and two daily schedules on 19 routes, adding 2000 miles to the network and stronger feeder facilities. About 930 thousand dollars would finance six months of new schedules, with total costs estimated at half a million for the extra routes and the rest for intercity improvements. The push highlights national defense value and more pilots, while noting current volume records and expected November totals.
