Show Let's Approve Airport Bonds Salt Lake City voters Tuesday will have an opportunity to take a real part in the city's progress. They will be asked to approve a two and one-half million dollar bond issue for improvement of facilities at the Salt Lake Municipal Airport. That the improvements are needed is obvious. The only question seems to be whether enough voters realize this. Business and civic leaders through public statements, speeches and newspaper articles have sought to point out the need for approval of the bond issue. It is hoped their message will get to enough voters to secure the measure's approval. Officials have pointed out that approval of the bond issue will not mean higher taxes since airport revenues will be more than enough to meet bond payments. They have pointed out that the improvements are vitally important to prepare the airport for the introduction of jet commercial com-mercial airliners expected in .early I960.

All that remains is to see that enough proponents of the measure get to the polls on Tuesday. |
