ROUTINE BUSINESS AT FEBRUARY COUNCIL Town Council met in 'council cham- ber Monday evening' at 8 o'clock. f Mayor John J Cliff presided, memb- e ors present were Reeve. John F. Daly, d Councillors J. E. Keating, M. A. Reid, g F. S Sills, 1. Hudson, R. G. Parke and A. Hubert, Minutes were con - finned. Among Correspondence read • by Clerk D. H. Wilson was invitation to aviation conference in Hamilton. Council thought large scale: aviation for • the present was of little interest here. Reeve Daly said recent county council meeting talked of leasing Sky Harbor to flying club which might Serve district needs for time being. Other points were that relatively simple landing fields with L-shaped runways cost more than $50,000 and airports to serve transcontinental lines cost four to ten bines as much; airstrips may be laid along railways, and perhaps Seaforth might Hope to have some such facility in the future; also, Centralia airport is on inter- national ah' route and possibly trans Canada airline will operate it after the war and provide service for long distance air traffic in this area; fur- thermore, the county already has air fields and emergency -fields at Port Albert, St. Joseph, Grand Bend and south of Centralia.
