Ogle's Garage MADISON 66 A Modern, Fireproof, Concrete Garage WASHINGTON, Jan. 18. (/^—Sub stantial development in the progress tary, together with several notable respectively by an airplane and a of aviation, both commercial and mili exploits of flying, including flights dirigible over the North Pole, was re corded during 1926. While the United States took the lead in the private ownership and ap eration of aircraft and is well in the front rank in the technical develop ment of military aircraft, it was a notable feature of the aviation pro gress in 1926 that European nations, especially the Latin countries, made enormous strides in their flying de velopment. There is a pessimistic note, how ever, in American aviation circles in the comparison of American and European commercial use of planes. While the United States commercial flying has displayed encouraging de velopment, in Europe large airplanes, engaged in commercial and passenger carrying flights, are being used ex tensively mainly supported by govern mental subsidies. Passenger carry ing services in the United States have not been unusually financially successful and aviation in this country must largely pay its own way, but the government is endeavoring to pave the way by establishing and main taining airways without resorting to the subsidy policy. A note of the future progress of commercial aviation is sounded in the plan of the Postoffice Department to turn over its air mail routes, entire ly to private companies in 1927. Avi ation authorities claim that the main problem, facing the flying industry to place it on a self-supporting basis, is to establish substantial reductions in cost of construction, operation and maintenance, together with better ment of the safety of aerial navi gation. Probably as an index for the rosy future of aviation in America the nota blle feature of 1926 was the clarifi cation of aeronautical legislation, in cluding the appointment of aviation secretaries in the Department of Commerce, Navy and War and the five-year program for the army and navy air corps. What the Coolidge administration thinks of aviation is expressed in the increase in the air budget of the gov ernment by $7,210,000 for 1928, de spite the administration’s policy of economy. The President recommend ed ito Congress, appropriations of $523,000, an increase of $10,000 for the National Advisory Committee on Aeronautics; Army $24,396,300, an in crease of $4,000,000; Navy $4,855,850, a $200,000 increase and Commerce, $3,219,500, an increase of $3,000,000.
