Meet Progress being made in plans to develop the Hamilton airport were reviewed during a well attended general meeting of the chamber of commerce in the chamber hall last night. John Howe, member of the airport committee, explained that the airport site could be purchased.

Members of the city council, he continued, had unofficially approved a half-mill levy to aid in the project and the county would be asked to include funds for the airport purchase in its next budget. H. G. Jones, Spokane, traveling commerical agent for the Railway Express agency, said that Hamilton, because of the laboratory, was the biggest off-line air express office in the division. He reviewed the history of express service and said that the smallest air express shipment last year consisted of mosquito eggs and the largest was 35,000 pounds of magazines.

In conclusion he asserted that the "town of tomorrow without an airport will be like the town of today without a main highway." "Flight a Northwest Airlines moving picture, was shown. The program also included short talks by John F. Matthew, Helena, district senior aeronautical inspector for Montana, and A. H. Galvin, Helena, senior mechanical inspector for Montana and Idaho.

Mr. Matthew said that a larger airport was needed for Hamilton not the standpoint of the local flyers, but because aviation will be a big business after the war. He asserted that the war was not the boon to aviation facturers that people might think because it had forced postponement of atubitious plans for the carrying of passengers and cargo by air.

Adoption of the resolution followed talks by H.

Reik of the local soil conservation office, County Assessor Roy Tillman, Ed O'Hare, ville rancher, and G. M. Brandborg, forest supervisor. Mr. Reik said that land classification required a soil survey.

He indicated that of the two types, reconnaissance (a check on approximately each 40 acres of the area) and detail (which requires a soil report on each five acres), the detail survey was necessary for Ravalli county. The speaker also urged that such a survey be made because the last one was made in 1915 and was of no value today. The detail survey, he continued, was also necessary if good land use planning was to be practised and that only two organizations, Montana State College and the soil conservation service, were capable of doing the work.
