Show Monday, March 10, 1947 DAILY HERALD Mayor Defends Location Of Provo Airport ear Lake The Provo airport was located on its present site for two principal prin-cipal reasons, Mayor Mark Anderson An-derson declared today, first, be cause the army rejected the old . site south of the city as being too close to the mountain, and second, to locate it anywhere else other than the present one would have meant tremendous expense and the taking of some ot tne richest larm land in the state of Utah. ine mayors statement was made in response to recent cri tcism of the present location, he said, in view of the present flood danger, ine present site was se lected, he declared, with the full knowledge that it would require diking and pumping and original plans included these factors. It was deemed more satisfactory, ana iar cheaper, than taking it out of choice farmlands, the major ma-jor said. The trouble arose when army engineers declared the dikes and pumps wer-e unnecessary unneces-sary and refused to build them. "Provo's first airport was located east or the coif course," the mayor said. "This location was condemned con-demned by Federal authorities authori-ties because It was too close to the mountain. We could ret no federal aid to construct con-struct a modern airport unless un-less the site was acceptable to the government. "There were but two choices. We must purchase 1000 to 1200 acres of good farm lands near Provo for an airport or go down on the lake shore. It was not only the cost of farm lands that caused us to go to the , lake shore but taking such a large acreage permanently per-manently out of production and off the tax rolls was also a matter of considerable importance. Therefore, the lake shore site was selected. "We never did think that this low ground would be suitable without proper diking and pump ing. This was originally planned for. The cost of reclaiming the low ground with a dike and pumps was estimated to run about $70,000. It will now cost at least $100,000 to protect the air port against high water. "There has never been any doubt in our minds about the feasibility of successfully re claiming this airport site with a dike, moat and pumps. It will be acne, and soon. If it costs $200,-000 $200,-000 it will still be cheap compared com-pared with a high land airport in tne agricultural area. "We cannot afford to lose this. $1,000,000 airport. It is one of the best in the country. coun-try. If destroyed or abandoned, aban-doned, I am sure it would be many years before Provo could' get another one." Meanwhile, seven draglines continued their construction of a dike, with government engineers engin-eers scheduled to, take over the project this week from the city and state. Elmer Madsen, city caretaker at the boat harbor, reported measurements taken Sunday revealed re-vealed the lake is within one inch of its high point last year.

The area is mainly on both sides of Provo canyon and surrounding Heber valley. Mr. Cheever's letter pointed out that while the state association of county officials recently went on record asopposing further acquisition ac-quisition of private land by the government, the commission recognized rec-ognized special cases which might be exceptions to the gen eral rule. He said the commission would support the move to include in-clude the area in question within with-in the forest boundaries, in so far as it lay within Utah county and came within the aforementioned stipulations. He pointed out the commission has no jurisdiction for recommendation concerning the portion of the land in Wasatch Wa-satch county. The area has been a long-time project of the chamber of commerce com-merce committee. The committee claims it vitally needs the flood control and protection against overgrazing which only the for-, est service can or will give it, and the members have sought for a considerable time to get the Uinta and Wasatch forest boundaries boun-daries extended to include it. It is claimed the area comprises a watershed vital to this area, and that much of it is now overgrazed over-grazed and badly in need of wa- Albert Woffinden Galled By Death Albert Woffinden, 68, of American Ameri-can Fdrk, former Provoan, died Saturday of a heart ailment.
