Higgs, acting. chairman, until the arrival of Chairman Gerald Saunders, shortly after the start of the meeting, said: “Not only have we the $76,000 CAA grant for the acquisition of the field, but CAA is sending in engineers Friday to make the needed survey. We will sign the final papers with Key West Im- provement company as soon ag the survey is completed.” State Representative Bernie C.
