Texas Aeronautic Commission seeks funds to expand airfields
Al Buchanan said the Texas Aeronautic Commission seeks larger appropriations to broaden functions and promote new airfields. He noted two more years left as chairman with Harry Ayres and Parker Prouty on the board. Legislation would tax aviation gasoline and airlines to raise needed money while federal aid of 60,000,000 for 3,000 airports emphasizes the need for surveys and higher state support.
