Show Millard County Chronicle Thursday, October 29, 1970 Vol. 27 No. 21 DELTA, UTAH, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 29, 1936. 5U0 PER YEAR IN ADVANCE AIRPORT FOB DELIA PLANS ARE STANDSTILL AT GOVERNMENT REJECTS LEASE ON THE BENDER RANCH ' The project of an airport for Delta Del-ta haa temporarily struck a snag and at present the deal is in the air, so to speak. Last week we stated that the Government had leased the Bender Ben-der Ranch for this project, but the Government would not accept the terms of the lease and so the airport is at a standstill. There was a group of airmen in i town last week looking over other sites for the port and trying to open negolations again on the Bender Ranch, but nothing definite was decided de-cided upon. The Government wants the port here and as It is on a WPA jroject they desire a piece of land that will require work to get into shape rather rath-er than buy a piece that has already been levelled and most of the work finished. Like all other WPA projects pro-jects they are desirous of creating work rather than .buying materials or finished products. During the week the men representing repre-senting both sides will try and get together, again to bring the matter to a conclusion.

REPUBLICANS LANDON KNOX DILLMAN DUNN WALQUIST ANDERSON HANSEN MOFFAT CHRISTENSEN GREENWOOD COX ANDERSON BEAUREGARD MORRIS WILSON CAHOON MORRIS MAKES STAND ON TAX SITUATION In response to some of the rumors that have been circulated about my stand on the tax situation, I wish to make myself clear. I stand fur individual settlement of taxes on land, and the price to be quoted to be computed on the merits of each caae. Each farm must be figured on its ability to pay out; the better farms must command a higher high-er rating than the poorer ones. I feel that each farmer should be given giv-en a fair chance to pay out and do not believe that his farm should be sold to anyone else while he has a chance of making good. Harold R. Morris. Pol Adv.
