Ryland Field Plan Delayed Till War's End
Aviation officials learned that designation of Ryland farm as a landing field for small private planes must wait until World War II ends. A survey by Tucson utility officials estimated $11,000 to remove or reroute lines near the field, with an $8,600 rerouting cost for the north and west boundaries. The Chamber of Commerce committee advised maintaining status quo until cessation of the war, with the option to reinstate the plan when needed.
