IS m LIVE ISSUE
ACTION OK KIW \N1S I I I I! M \Y
RESULT IN SOME DEFINITE
STK’.I’ N<; TAKEN
Action of . the , Brunswick ,,..... . , Kiwarns
Club at their meeting yesterday in .
recommending that a joint called city and
county bond issue issue be for tie
purpose of securing funds with which
to build an airport for Brunswick, was
the subject of considerable discussion
today. who
Many leading business men
were interviewed on the subject ex¬
pressed the belief that a bond issue
was the only means by which the ne¬
cessary money could be raised with
which to build an airport, but whether
or not tin- taxpayers are just at. this
time ready to decide the issue cannot
be determined. Many believe such a
bond issue would carry, while others
express the view that its success is
doubtful.
Members of the city and county
commissioners have never discussed
the matter, except informally, and
those seen today expressed themselves
by saying that the question was one
squarely up to the people, or rather
the taxpayers and voters of the city
and county, and if they showed a bond
issue was wanted, then it would fie the
duty of the city and county boards to
call one. “It is a matter for Un¬
people to decide and not the commis¬
sioners,” is the way one member ex¬
pressed it. "If the taxpayers think
Brunswick should build an airport by
means of a bond issue, ami the com¬
missioners are convinced of that tad,
then they will, I am quite sure, call
an election. Personal views of the
commissioners probably would make
no difference, if u great majority of
the people favor such action.”
Whether or not the Kiwanis Club
will go further with the matter, in
way of officially bringing their
■ uiturn to the attention of the com
lu. ioners has not been announced,
nor is it known whether or riot other
civic organizations will take up the
matter and pass similar resolution,-,.
That Brunswick needs and should
have*, at the earliest possible time, an
adequate airport there is no difference
of opinion among the people of the
city, hut just how it is to be construct¬
ed, or rather how the money is to be
raised, has been (he question often
arising and never decided. Three or
four plans were worked on last year,
after plans for the airport were pre¬
pared, but they failed.
It is pointed out that the city could
save between $25,000 and $.50,000 by
deciding definitely on the airport
within the next few months, ns one of
the largo dredgei now at work in this
harbor could be secured for the big
amount of dredging work necessary,
as the site is located on the mar b
land adjacent to the Brunswick-SI.
