A carefully worked ovt program is now before the Legislature but it is very important that all citizens understand the plan. Leaders from several of our neighboring towns and countigs are being invited. AS ale cle isle cl rh es “> “ ste ate sla ate als 7 46 Lawrence has a great deal at stake in this highway - program, We are located on three important transcontinental federal highways, two state hishways and a network of farm to ‘ market roads which must be rebuilt and properly maintained if our community is to prosper under our system of highly diver- sified agriculture. Chet Brewer is one of the best informed and aggressive men in Kansas on the subject of good roads. This matter is important to you. ate “ ste al *~ on sls a5 ate ale ste +. “~~ “.

It is believed that such a program is badly needed in Kansas and thru improved methods of grading, standardization and promotion, better markets and prices may be secured for Kansas farm products. AVIATION ~. This Committee has prepared and secured the ap- Glenn Charlton, proval of the City Council on a plan for con- Chairman solidating the ownership and management of the Lawrence Municipal Airport under the direction of the University. The Committee feels that divided ownership of the land and improvements may prove to be a handicap in dealing with the federal government in the development of the airport. The recommended plan calls far expansion and new improvements, The program is now in the hands of the University authorities and the Board of Regents.
