County Attorney; Hon. R. S.
O’Neal, Mayor of LaGrauge; Hon.
B. J. Mayer, City Attorney; Hon.
Richard Hutchinson of the La
Grange City Council; and Hon.
Lewis Price and Hon. Virge B.
Ingram of the LaGcar.ge Cfu,\ ;Ci
of Commerce. These gentlemen
came to offer to the Lt.iited States
Government the exclusive use if
necessary of the magnificent La
Grange airport, which is so stra
tegically located between the
great army air base at Maxwell
Field near Montgomery and the
newly designated Navy base to be
located at old Camp Gordon near
Atlanta—also between the Na
tional Guard Camp at Camp Mc
Clelland, Anniston. Alabama, and
Fort Benning at Columbus. Over
$105,000.00 has been expended in
{rating and fencing this airport,
and the County of Troup and the
City of LaGrange have acquired
title to the more, than 600 acres
of land on which it is located at a
cost of some $40,000.00 additional.
' presenting this facility to the
Chief of the Army Air Corps, the
delegation were profoundly thank
ed and were assured
that the airport would be
among the first 600 in the United
States to be improved and accept
ed for National Defense. Out of the
more than 3700 airports in the
United States, the authorities
have selected 600 to improve. Con
gress has appropriated $40,000,
000.00 for improving the first 250
of these ports. As soon as these are
completed, another appropriation
will be made and the LaGrange
airport will be included as it is
near the top of the list after the
first 250. The f act that this coun
ty and city acquired the land be
fore offering the airport impress
ed the authorities here, and I am
sure that the citizens of our dis
trict are proud 'of this record.
We had a visit Wednesday from
Mr. and Mrs. E. F. Carlisle, Jr. of
Griffin. Mrs. Carlisle is Secretary
of the Griffin Chamber of Com
merce, and a most efficient and
alert one at that. Griffin is bid
ding fo- an army camp to be lo
cated in Spalding County.
By the way, Wednesday being
registration day, my secretary,
