The Ogden manager continued to point out that within federal regulations, without ILS control, a plane can legitimately fly at the top of the trees from five miles out over the city or Roy to the airport. Just that one thought alone would scare the pants off me if I had a child in that school, and 1 would personally want to push for the ILS system to be sure that the minimum that plane can fly would be 228 feet or 234 feet, the manager continued. Even though the Ogden officials keep assuring Roy citizens that the proposed ILS system would be safer than the present landing conditions, the Roy Citzens Associations would rather see some other action taken that would not require the planes flying so close over Roy schools and homes. The Roy Citizens Association is continuing studies in conjunction with the city attorney and are asking the support of other interested citizens. Trying to halt the action of the proposed program at the airport conceivably will cost money and persons interested to donating to assist the Roy Citizens Association action may contact any of the following persons: Rulon Peterson, Clark Puffer, Ralph Bowman, 5 Monte Speas, or Royal E.

ROY The controversy over the possible dangers of the proposed airport expansion program continue and action has been partially halted by the Ogden City Council until their Oct. 5 meeting. At the close of a 2 12-homeeting last week with the Ogden and Roy councils, Ogden agreed to hold further attempts to acquire land by purchase or condemnation until the October meeting. However, the city will go ahead with the bid opening Oct. 3 for extension of runway and will continue to pursue transactions involving land acquistions that have already been initiated. The bids will be presented at the councils first meeting in October. At that time, the council hopes to have a preliminary report on a new runway from the Federal Aviation Agency as well as recommendations from local authorities. On the basis of those reports, the council expects to decide whether to go ahead with the proposed improvements or set them aside in ICD 4M 4 i y I Widdison will con- tinue as an employee, having worked for the Richins for many years.
