The
reply
to
the
city's
proposal
was
made
by
R.
W.
Ryan,
C.P.A.
general
manager,
who
termed
it
'satisfactory"
and
suggested
that
an
agreement
be
drawn
up
for
execution.
The
city's
proposal
was
that
C.F.A.
lease
the
former
R.C.A.F.
hangar
for
a
nominal
sum
and
repair
and
maintain
It

way
to

community,
the
aldermen
moved
to
resume
negotiations

Department.
Among
them

the

whose

been

doing
the
prospecting.
First

was
made
last

spent
$13,000,000
In

for

and
will
spend

more
this

to

of

A

the
"wrong

in
estimating
the
number
of
their

said
that

the

until
the
"long-standihj
