Delta Airport, the finest airport in Utah south of Salt Lake, and duplicated for less than a million dollars stands today as the wholly- owned property of Delta City, virtually vir-tually free from federal control. An improvement project proposed early in my administation, which I opposed, and concerning which I sought and obtained the advice of Ann Landers, would have kept it under federal control for many, many years. I am glad that this early project was abandoned, and a better plan adopted. The only vestige of federal control con-trol now remaining derives from a provision in a Patent covering 240 acres of the airport land, which was signed in August, 1951, by President Harry Truman himself. It pertains to non-discrimination. Delta City now has been fully released re-leased from requirements of the original airport Resolution-agreement of July 27, 1942, under which the U. S. Government built the airport. The City now is also fully released from obligation under a Grant agreement dated Nov. 9, 1948. When I first read the Reso- Correspondents We're in a hell-uva mess here at the Chronicle so please be patient.

After graduation from Utah State University he served as an Air Force Intelligence officer in Germany. Ger-many. Since 1960 he has been head of the language arts department at Cedar City High School. He advises that seniors desiring a nomination to the class of 1970 should write immediately to their senator or congressmen. For additional addi-tional information they may write to Capt Jensen at 165 N. 1150 West, Cedar City, 7.500 read it in The CHRONICLE Little Theater-JC's JjiCOMUUIIITY p CALENDAR lution-Agreement of 1942, shortly after taking office, I noted that it carried no termination date, and I wondered if it was perpetual. I am glad the FAA has now declared it terminated. Other important developments during my term are: 1. The 6.200 ft. North-South runway, run-way, and the 4,799 ft. taxi-runway were rehabilitated in 1968, at the instance of the City Council, at a cost of some $36,000.00 of which the State of Utah paid about half. Incidentally, let me say here that the 4,700 ft. taxi-runway has never been designated a runway by the FAA. Actually, it was a better runway run-way than the best you would find at most small town airports. Old records showed us that when built, it was given a heavy-duty foundation, founda-tion, with the idea that it would some day be designed a runway, while another taxi-strip was planned plan-ned to parllel it on the west. Thus, Delta airport, while officially a two-runway airport, really has three superb runways. 2. The work of outlining the number and letters for the rehabilitated rehabil-itated runways was done the summer sum-mer of 1969 by the ladies flying group, the 99's; the painting of these, as well as other necessary markings, is being done by the St te Road crew as I write this report, October 10. This puts the finishing touches on the rehabilitation rehabili-tation project. 3. When planning airport improvements im-provements in 1966, I went to Fillmore Fill-more to check the county records as to just what airport land was owned by Delta City. I was surprised sur-prised to learn that the City did not hold title to the land in Section Sec-tion 34, Twp. 16 South, Range 6 West, on which the runways are built. I brought this matter to the attention of thhe State Land Board and in response, in April, 1968, they issued the City a deed to this 600 acressome 25 years after the airport air-port had been built. Better late than never! 4. In December, of 1968, the City Administration accepted a new one-airplane rental hangar at the airport; having entered into lease, purchase, and financing agreements agree-ments which made the project self-liquidating. self-liquidating. 5. The old north and west boundaries boun-daries of the airport zig-zagged across highway 6-50. I requested and obtained authorization from the City Council to work out a land exchange with the stockholders stockhold-ers of the Marion Henrie Corporation, Corpora-tion, owners of the adjacent prop-perty, prop-perty, through which a straight-line straight-line northwest boundary line was established on the west side of highway 6-50. This resulted in the City's owning all the frontage, on both sides of the highway, beginning begin-ning about half way up the slope south of the Sevier River, and extending ex-tending thence along the highway for a mile and a half toward Delta City. Delta City need never permit the establishment of a junk yard or anything else long the- highway near the airport. I am grateful to Mr. and Mrs. Fondd Henrie and Mr. and Mrs. Cutler Henrie for cooperating co-operating in this exchange of land. It was made at no cost to the City. 6. Anticipating possible future need for longer runways, even through the runways of Delta Airport Air-port were the longest in the state when they were built, I obtained authorization from the City Council Coun-cil to try to arrange another land trade; this one to enable Delta to acquire, without cash outlay, n additional 160 acres of land so situated as to make it possible to extend runway 12-30 to more tdan 8,000 feet, if ever needed. City Attorney At-torney Dudley Crafts told me that Delta City owns 240 acres of range land a few miles west of Black Rock, which might be traded for other land. On being told that Delta owned 240 acres fifty miles southwest of the city itself, Councilman Bill Bishop suggested, facetiously, I think, that we start a subdivision there. The land being in the vicinity vicin-ity of Milford, it would be more sensible for that city to start the subdivision, if they want to, so we propose, instead, to arrange a three-way deal which will involve the City of Delta, the Oak City Grazers, who own the 160 we want for runway 12-30, and the Bureau of Land Management. While considerable progress has been made on this transaction, it may not be completed before I leave office. So, even though I do not know whether the voters will choose Mr. Law, Mr. Farnsworth, or a dark horse to be my successor, I intend to offer my services free of charge to try to consumate this deal, since I have been handling the details myself these past two years. Whether my successor wants to retain me to do this, or go ahead with it himself, or, perchance, abandon the idea, will be for him to decide. Delta Airport is in fine shape to meet regional needs now and for many years to come. It is more than a local installation. It Is the (Continued on back page) |
