This is especially so in my case as I have been engaged in the aviation industry since 1916, The action of the Council, as reported last week by the Ithaca Journal to retain the present Ithaca Airport along with the projected larger port is to be commended, This action indicates official foresight. I believe the City may anticipate the time when there will be need of ad. ditional ports or airparks to supplement these two ports* The establishment of the larger airport, now proposed, is a progressiv, move, Private and commercial operation is sure to increase. It is rea- sonable to expect that in the not too distant future some of thelargo air transport.lines will include this city in their systems, thusgivin to the City a place on the great airways of the -country and with it the benefits of direct connection with the air mail express, freight ari' passenger service of the United States and foreign countries, Yours very truly, W$,R0R.Winans." � iuu,ttivviL Vr ruinjo rituNl -t;U1rMENT ,SERVE FUND AUTHORIZED The Clerk - reported that he board of Public Works, at a meeting 177Z Sept.26y1�45 authorized the purchase of 4 garbage trucks and approved withdrawal of funds set up in the Equipment Reserve account for that purpose$ and by resolution requested the Common Council to approve the withdrawal, i,t- tontion was called to the fact, that due to the probable increase in the price of the trucks that it may be necessary later to requestaspec- ial appropriation since the funds allocated to the purchase of trucks in the equipment schedule ($7404900) may not be sufficient.
