The protest came when City Recorder Robert A. Moyes advised the auto dealers that they were subject to a $25.00 license per year when they handled used autos, the recorder holding that the ordinance covering second hand dealers covered second hand automobiles. City Attorney A. E. Pratt held with the recorder that the ordinance as on the books included those dealing in used cars. He stated that it would be discriminatory if the used auto dealers were not taxed as other second hand dealers, and that the ordinance would have to be repealed or all second hand dealers in- Large Committee Appointed by City Commission to Meet Monday to Formulate Plans for Huilding Municipal Course; Frominent Ogden Men Head Froject; Many Sign Fetitions At the Monday meeting of the city commission the matter of the Municipal golf course received considerable attention, and it was the united census of the commission that a committee of golf fans should be invited to meet with the commission next Monday.

Notwithstanding the discomforts the people listened to the speeches with inurked attention and applauded the action of the city commission for The huving put over the air port. city commission waa commended on all sidea, but is was often remarked that it was surprising that Ogden had waited so long before the establish-meof an air port. It was pointed out that many Utah cities had provided landing fields before Ogden took action, and lost many opportunities. Now that Ogden has mad) a start in providing an air port, would it not be well to organize a company for the building of planes? California and the coast states havo a score of such companies which are turning out plunes, and there are several in Colorado and Kansas. Aviation is in its infancy, and Ogden is as well located for the manufacture of areoplanes aa any city in the land. Ogden has the rapital and skilled mechanics to handle just such a job aa plane building. As good planes as are built in the world are being turned out at San Diego, where the famous "Spirit of pt St. Louis was built. Apparently the men of Ogden are only interested in the establishment of an air port where planes may land and take off, but the benefit to be derived from such a port is small aa rom pared with the manufacture of planes. In this connection The Post quotes Phil D. Strong in The Editor and Pub- lisher: "In 1920 there were a few more than 1 .000 planes made in the United States, In 1927 there were about 2.000. In 1928 there will be from 5.000 to 8,000, depending not on the demand, but on now nearly production can meet demand. There are today about 300 companies in the United States manufacturing airplanes. The figure is approximate because birth and death rates on airplane factories are both very high. 31any queer structures in backyard garages proudly boasting a sign Acme & Phoenix Transatlantic and Interpolar Airplane company will never feel the throb of an engine. A few companies make a plane a year, or two planes a year. About 25 companies are making a plane a day or thereabout. One western company, manufacturing a small, popular plane, sent its production up to 20 planes a week a few days ago. Less than two years ago it waa boasting about its tremendous production of one plane a month. The reason that the estimated total for the year is so low, compared to these production figures, is that the rates of production were not, two weeks ago, as high as they are today, and the estimates conservatively disregard the fact that they will be higher two weeks from now than they are today. An officer of the National aeronautics chamber of commerce, who completed a swing around the country a few days ago, found unfilled orders increasing in virtually every large factory. lie found one factory pushing its production up from month to month and remaining 60 to 70 orders behind constantly.
