Northwest May Soon Have Air Taxi and Freight Services Between Cities
St. Paul, Minn., Aug. 10 (AP) — A new era in air transportation with installation of taxi freight and passenger services between principal airports in the principal cities is in store for the northwest as a result of the Ford reliability airplane tour.
A decision to link the northwest by an air chain was reported as a conference here last night of representatives of the tour and delegation from four states and Winnipeg, Man.
The conference adopted a resolution calling upon the cities of this region “to unite on a definite and active development of commercial aviation.”
Each municipality will be required to provide an airport.
The 22 contestant in the Ford air tour today tuned up their engines for short flights preparatory to the hop-off tomorrow for Des Moines, Ia., the next leg of the circuit that was begun at Detroit, Mich., last Saturday.
