FEDERAL AIRWAYS

Roper Announces Plans for
11 New Routes at Cost
of $2,000,000.
m the Associated Press.
Secretary Roper announced yester
day that the Federal airways system
will be extended over 11 new routes,
at a cost of approximately $2,000,000,
if that much money is available after
improvement of the existing system.
The Commerce Department chief ex
pressed belief it will be about a year
before availability of the necessary
funds is apparent, but he said much
preliminary work on the extensions
could be done in the meantime.
The extensions, their mileage and
estimated cost were announced by
Roper as follows:
Cincinnati
Washington . 415 miles $376,000
Omaha-Sioux City
Mmneapolls_326 miles $200,000
Houston
New Orleans_336 miles $310,000
Amarillo
Fort Worth-307 miles $190,000
Atlanta
Charleston _170 miles $163,000
Albany
Rouses Point .170 miles $168,000
Seattle
Vancouver .108 miles $74,000
Albuquerque
Pueblo ...289 miles $130,000
Cheyenne*
Billings ..400 miles $320,000
Palmdale-Tejon ... 55 miles $10,000
Corpus Christi
Houston 190 miles $98,000
The aviation aids which Roper
said the Government would install
along these routes, if funds prove suf
ficient, include lighted intermediate
landing fields, beacon lights, radio
range and communication stations :
and teletype communication circuits
where required to furnish adequate
weather reporting.
Roper said Congress has provided
for a $7,000,000 airways construction
and improvement program, and that
$5,000,000 of the fund is being applied
to modernization and improvement of
the present Federal airways system.
Announcing a long list of projects
being undertaken on the existing sys
tem, he said that if prices actually
bid on this work do not exceed pre
liminary estimates there will be a
balance of $2,000,000 available for the
extensions.
