Finance Committee Named and Aviation Fund Progress
The finance committee named chairman Norment to form an executive body to raise a $50,000 aviation subsidy in Washington. Subscriptions reached $25,300 yesterday, with several contributors including John B. McLean at $2,000 and W G Hibbs at $300. A 10-member executive committee will solicit funds citywide, aiming to complete the total by week’s end. Meanwhile Wilbur Wright piloted two flights at College Park as wind limited activity, with Lieut Lahm reassigned to cavalry and Lieut Walter Jones joining. Wright planned a New York trip as Japan signals aviation interest and a potential Washington meet in 1910 awaits entry standards.
