In late years the position bas been growing in Importance and the work ot the offlce has required more time so that it is only fair tliat tha Chief Burgess should have a salary that would at least pay bim for the time necesaary to give the offlce due consideration. It has been pointed out that should no candidates be found for the offlce It would put council in a very embarrassing position and would open the way for the ap¬ pointment ot a town manager. This would saddle the borough with a burden ot between |4000 and $5000 or possllffy more tor a man competent to handle the town affairs and would greatly add to the burden of the tax-payers in makin? up the salary ot another offlclal. It is hoped that some of the public spirited citizens ot town who have been approached by their committeemen to run tor burgess will consider the matter. With a salary of $500 the position would at least pay some remuner¬ ation for tbe time demanded in offlcial duties and would not be sueh a burden and bound to pro¬ duce,better results to tax payer*.

and in time the matter was forgot¬ ten so that today the impression has got ahout that the office is without any remuneration.
In late years the position bas been growing in Importance and the work ot the offlce has required more time so that it is only fair tliat tha Chief Burgess should have a salary that would at least pay bim for the time necesaary to give the offlce due consideration.
It has been pointed out that should no candidates be found for the offlce It would put council in a very embarrassing position and would open the way for the ap¬ pointment ot a town manager. This would saddle the borough with a burden ot between |4000 and $5000 or possllffy more tor a man competent to handle the town affairs and would greatly add to the burden of the tax-payers in makin? up the salary ot another offlclal. It is hoped that some of the public spirited citizens ot town who have been approached by their committeemen to run tor burgess will consider the matter. With a salary of $500 the position would at least pay some remuner¬ ation for tbe time demanded in offlcial duties and would not be sueh a burden and bound to pro¬ duce,better results to tax payer*.

Any town in tba United Statea with a population ot 6,000 or mora can have a flying fleld, according to the Lehigh Airport Competition. Th* competition's Program Com¬ mittee, composed ot 24 ot the county's outstanding architects, en¬ gineers, city planners and aero- naulc experts, points out that hun¬ dreds of American communities with less tban 10,000 population are among the 1.324 towns which already have airports.
"With the smaller cities the pro¬ blem ot acquiring land is less acute than in tbe great congested areas," the Program Committee says. "Suitable land is usually close at hand, and sufflcient acreage may he obtained to provide not only for immediate needs but mIso for those which can reasonably be foreseen in the inevitable growth of flying ns an accepted means of high speed trafflc.

retary ot war tor aeronautics, points out fhe airport will be to¬ morrow's fortress ot national de¬ fense, taking the place, in part, of fhe forts of the last century. In time of war. key airports would be transformed Into military units.
Former Postmaster General Harry S. New, who has made an in¬ tensive study ot aviation, believes no town should be without its fly-i
fields which will become antiquat¬ ed too soon. { Mr. Corbett's prediction is that every airport, however small, will attract sufflcient bu.slnes8 to make If a profltable enterprise. "Even though it is not on the main trans¬ continental Ines, the small town airport will become a branch lint* station In a short time and thu.s win justify its construction."
