Show AID AIR PIONEERS BY ERECTING SIGN TO USE AS MARKER EVENTUALLY BRIGHT BEACON TO REPLACE TARGET NOW SET UP Through the efforts of the Lion's club, a large sign has been erected about a mile out of town for the purpose pur-pose of guiding airmen. J. F. Kenyon, in whose hands has largely been the work of locating the Salt Lake-Las f Vegas route, was in Milford last week, with his helper and engineer, Mr. Hess, in the interests of having :x. a sign put up. The work was managed by Leslie Clay and Myron Lewis, with the help of the Telluride Power company. The sign is ten feet square and is painted a bright orange. It is suspended sus-pended at the top of, and between, two thirty foot telephone poles, at a distance of about twenty feet from the ground. It is located on what is known as 'Baldy Hill,' about a mile northwest of town. The purpose of it is but tempor-ar tempor-ar y one. It is used as a marker, or target, to sight from at a distance. The course of flight veers some at Milford, and the sign is to mark the location of the angle. In running the transit line to mark this swerve, the marker will serve as a sight. It will be eventually replaced, as soon as the course is completely surveyed, by a beacon light. The sign was completed and erected Tuesday. |
