BOROUGH AIRPORTS
ADVOCATED BY MINISTER OF DEFENCE. DARGAVILLE PROJECT. ’ (By Telegraph—Press Association.) DARGAVILLE, This Day. Before leaving for Whangarei this morning the Postmaster-General (the Hon. F Jones) inspected the proposed site of the aerodrome, which has been surveyed and reported upon by the Public Works Department. The scheme is in two sections and entails taking firstly eighty acres of land at present unoccupied and valued at about £3OO. This will give three run-offs. The second development takes an additional area of land valued at about £2,000, which will give runways up to a thousand yards. The Minister stressed the need for boroughs such as Dargaville establishing aerodromes and suggested that the first step should be the formation of an Airport Board, comprising the Borough Council and adjoining counties.
