THE AERODROME
'Sir, —Your recent article (Farmers' Union opinion) would lead one to suppose that, the farmer is opposed to progress. If for instance there was a government subsidy (this having been mentioned) it would still raise the question of further taxation on the land. Which we (the farmers) cannot pass on ? but the Merchant and Trader can, and does! An aerodrome being a National transport utility the same as a railway station for public. use } ihcrefore should be carried out on the s.ime basis. Now I am sure no farmer would raise his voice against the aerodrome provided it came out of the consolidated,, funds and the users paid. As it is most essential to have air communication after the war, I would suggest that the Chamlier of the City Fathers and our County Councillors get interested; to bring pressure to bear on the Ministers of Transport, Public Works and Internal Affairs whilst the House is sitting; and, our local members would be able to assist with the backing of their constituancies. Yours etc* "FARMERS' UNION MEMBER."
