“10 ASSUCATONSBACK PROPOSED ARPORT Two Bodies of Citizens Urge 0ld Jockey Club Property as Site. Pledging theif indorsement of any movement having for its aim the establishemtn of a city-owned air terminal, and their co-operation as far CERY ble in such a plan, the Kenil- worth and Benning Citizens' Associa- s have addressed a letter to Maj. nt, 3d. executive officer of the National Capital Park and Plan- ning Commission, recommending that the property formerly owned by the Washington Jockey Club, and adjoin- ing property to the north, between Kenilworth avenue and the Anacostia River be considered for a municipal airport.

Says Delay Would Be Unwise. "It is believed that a city which neglects to provide itself with an air- port ix, in effect. isolating itself from others, to the extent that air traffic to and through that city will not de- velop. We believe it would be exceed- ingly unwise to delay the establish- ment of an airport for Washington longer, and offer as a fundamental veason the very rapid building and expansion of the city, which is con- areas where apital Park on set aside for August Clearance of Burt Shoes —both Women’s and Men’s —and Youngsters’ too.

We respectfully urge that the Na. tional Capital Park and Planning Commission acquire and designate one of these areas as Washington's airport. Advantage of Central Site. “Perhaps the greatest advantage of aerial transportation is the time which Is saved. It is obvious that when it is necessary to travel some distance out into the countryside to make use of air transportation much of its advantage is lost. “We approve the site proposed by the Natlonal Aeronautic Association, being ds b ided by Ben- ning road, Anacostie Tiver, Twenty- | COLOR FILMS DEVELQPED. | first street northeast and B street boulevard system. of engines, wings and other parts and supplies, including gasoline and ofls. “5.
