The plan would be subject to local option, by county-wide elections. The bill, already drawn, was explained to about 35 members at a one-day meeting of the executive committee.

For street maintenance work, the cities and towns would realize 30 per cent of the fees paid By city and town residents; the counties would get the othei 70 per cent, plus all fees paid by rural residents. The association also approved proposals to ask the legislature for an airport zoning law, an act to clarify responsibility for sidewalk repairs, and a law relating to interest saving on funded warrants. Weather reduced the attendance somewhat, according to M. J. Mee, Anaconda, secretary of the group, who stated that President John Lindquist, Bulte, presided at the meeting, which attracted several cities.

V. N. Kessler, Helena city clerk, is treasurer. Many important matters weie discussed by league members and the exchange of ideas proved beneficial to all. Martin Moe of the MBA addressed the meeting on the need for co-operation between cities, towns, counties and school districts.

Tomorrow, the other three-fourths the towns and smaller will be connected by feeder lines with the air traffic arteries of the world. Like fingers, these feeder lines will reach from every major trunk-line city into the natural trading area surrounding it.Thus, each satellite off-line community will have fast, direct air service mail, passenger, express and fast i to every other commercially important city in America and every world trade center. These feeder lines may operate local short-hauls with combination passenger and freight planes. Or, they may use the glider pickup system cutting-off "local cars" and picking up others without stopping.

Time and war aviation developments will help to decide which is best for the purpose.
