Richard Milliard, formerly district manager at Los Angeles and acting director of sales A phenomenal record of progress In all branches of American aviation la revealed in the annual re. port of Major Clarence M. Young, director of the acronautlca branch of the Department of Commerce, which was made public today. The growth of air commerce and the air craft industry of the United Slates, Major Young believes, i due in no amall meaaure to the strict enforcement of federal regulations which has inspired public confidence in the safety of sir transport- During 1927 American factories produced nearly 2000 aircraft having a total value of $14,200,000 as compared withieas than 1800 val. nod at 18,870,000 during- the preceding year.

Exports of aircraft and parts during 1037 amounted to nearly $3,000,000, an increase of approximately S6 per cent over 1U36. During the first half of the current year our total sales In for. in markets of aircraft products were 38 per cent greater than the entire shipments of last year. Air transport, Major young declares, has now attained a definite place in the economic scheme of transportation. The established-airway system is the backbone of our commercial aviation, although operations over this network form onlyone-tenth of all civil flying.

These routes now cover 11,191 miles on which 87,817 miles are flown dally. Of these, lO.SSSNullea are under mail contract and 200 mail planes fly 153,234 miles daily over these routes. There are now 8880 miles lighted, 1800 miles under contract for night flying, and -8308 additional miles considered for lighting during- the fiscal year ID; S. The cities actually connected by the routes at the close of the fiscal year numbered 88. the trading areas served containing SO.

million people. By the close of the cur rent fiscal year It Is believed that almost all of the larger cities and many of the middle-sized commune itles will be connected by air routes and that smaller feeder lines will serve many outlying cities- Communication to aircraft In flight along the transcontinental route, the report states, will be Available within a short lime. Kadio equipment is under construe, tlon for replacing obsolete appar-aiim now in use. The new apparatus will provide radio-telephone or radio-telegraph communication as may be required on frequencies between 100 and 600 kilocycles. Considerable research and testing work was conducted by the Bureau of Standards for the aeronautics branch during the period under review.

These investigations embraced radio aids to navigation, lighting of airways, sound proofing of airplane cabins, airplane control tests, and tests of. commercial aircraft engines. 1 Approximately 600 airplanes are WASIIl.MUTOS;. IX. 0.Tho department of commerce announces that, nccording to da collected at the biennial census of manufacturers taken in 1028, the establishments engaged primarily in tho manufacture of glass lu 1927 reported products valued at a decrease of 5.5 per cent a compared with 11,10,424 for lw25, the last preceding census year, HIE USE need for a lighter truok.

Our desire to enter this field has led us to make an analysis in view of man--ufacturlng a truok which wllj meet the demand for smaller rucka tor road maintenance work. When Fageol ts announced to serve lit thin field, there will be no question as to ite fitness to maintain" the enviable reputation Kagoola have already built in the publio improvement field." PUBLIC Participants In Home Are Listed being built In American factories each- monthwhlch have to be Inspected as to their airworthiness. It Js obvious. Major Toung states, that a very efficient org-anlsatlon of the inspection section is esen. tlal In order to carry out the work-involved.

To this end, factory inspectors are being employed and trained as rapidly as possible for the purpose of Inspecting and licensing "new production" airplanes at the time they leave the factory. This, it is pointed out, will aid the Industry by facilitating the issuance of licenses in the first Instance, although these plane will still require periodical relnspection by the field personnel of the department. Applications for pilot's and. me. chanic's licenses showed striking increase during the past fiscal year, due in large ensure to the publicity given the epochal flights which occurred during that period.

By June 30 laHt applications wore on file for over 6500 pilots and 6000 mechanics which was about three times the number on file on the corresponding date the previous year. On June 30 over 4700 appli variety, 41 per cent of 1 to 5-ton sUe, and per cent of ti-ton or larger sizes. These figures do nut Include 18,600 trucks of other city departments for such as street cleaning, refuse collection and disposal activities. Of this number, IS, 000 are dump trucks of 2-ton capacity or. larger.

Email, munict-palltles having from 1000 to 5000 population use 841 1 trucks, most of which are of 1 to 9-ton sixes. "The fact that' there la an aver, age of four motor trucks to every paving concrete pilxer in use' on highway Job gives an Idea of the market for motor trucks among oontractors. Most of tho ney construction and improvement street repair work is done by contractor who also engage In other public Improvement work, making It difficult' to obtain, reliable data re. gardtng the number of trucks they use, though the number is very large. "Although we have met the demand for larger trucks, we feel the period.

Up to June 30 last, licenses had been issued for approximately 3000 pilots, 3000 mechanics and 2000. airplanes. In addition( 4000 applications for students' permits have been filed. In order to pass on the qualifications of these applicants, the bureau maintains 40 inspectors In the field. As the work of these inspectors is almost entirely at airports official airplanes can be utilized with great saving of time and corresponding Increase of efficiency.

Unfortunately, the report shows, there are but 14 planes of design available for their use. Funds are available for the purchuso of fJve more but even with tlilN additional number of alls Planes the total will bo about one-third of the number essential to the most efficient performance of inspection duties. Referring to the enforcement of regulations, the report shows that during the past fiscal year there were 224 violations, resulting In 6 6 assessments of the civil penalty, 121 reprimands, 22 suspensions, twq revocations, and flvo denials of licenses. The -violations consisted of acrobatics over prohibited areaw, flying low over congested area's, flying licensed aircraft without a pilot's license, flying aircraft with no Identification numbers displayed A recent market analysis of the United States, gathered and charted by the t'agool Motors company, shows that 1 to 3-ton trucks note In public improvement work, and thut Ibis field Is showing such a vemarkalilo increase ln truck buying that the eyes of manufacturers are being drawn toward It, These figures, from T. BUI.

snlcsmonnger of the Fageol company, show how much of our tax dollar goea into trucks. Bill goes on lo say: "We find that 18,000 trucks are owned by SO00 counties doing effective work In highway construction and maintenance-averaging nlno trucks to each county. While a third of these are of the to' 8-ton sUe, 71.8 per cent of the 18,000 trucks have a IK -ton cnpaclty or larger.
