Re- sident engineers have taken up their location there and land surveyors wit soon be engaged, in laying out the runways, Prom all reports the airport wil take in about five hundreed acres in Stephen Township, about one and a quarter .miles west and north of Gene tralia and about the same distance east and south of Crediton. The or- iginal survey took in about eleven hundred acres and from this a choice was made of the land most satisfao- toiy. The new airport will be a service flying school. After the student pil- ots have received their elementary training we understand they will com- plete their training at this airport where the latest machines needy in modern warfare will be available. It will follow closely the pattern of the airport recently completed at Aylmer. While there is little ofi'ieial inform- ation we are led to believe that the new airport will be one in connection with the British Commonwealth Air Teat/ ing Plan and will be linked up with the air navigation school at Port Albert and the Radio School at Clin- ton. ' • The owners of the farms which are included in the plan were not Com- pletely takenby surprise, although they hadreceived no official informa- tion until the surveyors landed on their property' ready to commence work. It is proposed to erect the main buildings on the farm occupied by Mr. Lloyd Hodgson, third concession of Stephen Township andthe runways will extend' back to the fourth con- cession, including the farms of Rd.. and L. Davey. The field will take in the sideroad running east and west which will of necessity be closed. It is known that the farms of Mrs. I. Hodgins and Mr. John Edwards fig- ure in the plan and how much more, time will tell. MILITARY ; NEWS D. C.
