Since the legislature has approved the State Department of Aeronautics request for $500,000.00 for the development of airports in Minnesota during the next bi-ennium, we suggest that your body consider the proposed 1949 improvement program which consists of sealing the bituminous surfacing laid in 194s. This project will total $16,230.00 of which the Civil Aeronautics Administration will furnish 50% or $8,115.00, local funds 1/6 or $2,705.00 which will be furnished by the Mayo Association and we have every reason to believe the State of Minnesota will furnish 113 or $5,410.00 upon your request.
