From the list will be selected projects to be included in the fiscal 1948 construction program, depending on the amount of funds appropriated by congress and relative urgency of each project. Included on the list are 417 large airports (those with paved runways of 4,300 feet or longer), 3,850 smaller airports and 164 seaplane bases. Grand total cost of construction is estimated at $985,800,000, which would be divided between federal funds of $441,600,000 and sponsor's share of $544,200,000. Of the 4.431 projects, 2,550 would be entirely new airports while 1,881 are existing fields requiring improvement. dramatic example of the use of air freight when combined with a bit of Ingenuity spared some 20 families in Alaska the necessity of spending the winter in Igloos or other Improvised The Ingenuity came housing; from Williamson, Inc., of Sheboygan Falls, Wis., which built 20 prefabricated houses In such small sections that Northwest Airlines was able to fly them to Anchorage, Alaska.
