Clarifying

The

plans
to

con
trol
of
a
portion
of
Ihe
Seal
Cove
seaplane

until
civic
authorities
here
decide
whether
or
not
they
want
the

as
a

according
to
Wil
liam
Lawson,
departmental
dis
trict
inspector
of

Mr.
Lawsuit,
wlio
lias
been
Interviewing
city
officials
and
businessmen
here
in
regard
l-o
having
tlic
base
taken
over
for
civilian
flying,
believes
that
such
a
course
would
be
in
the
best
interests
of
long
.term
flying
policy.
"I
think
il
would
be
very
short-sighted
policy
to
let
the
base
go,"
he
declared.
"I
have
been
flying
tills
coast
since
1933
and
know
how
badly
a
base
was
needed
here."
Since
the
city
received
IU
or
iginal
offer
to
take
the
base
over
from
the
Transport
Department
last
year,
officials
have
been
trying
to
Jlud
out
how
much
it
would
cost
to
maintain
under
the
proffered
agreement
which
would
allow
the
city
to
takeover
the
base
for
a
nominal
sum
providing
it
paid

So
far,
this
information
has
not
been
made

by

despite

seeking
it.
Mr.
Lawson
said
thai
he
will

Ottawa
Immediately
to

lCtUic..
Information

speeded

Several
of
the
city
aldermen
and
the
Chamber
of
Commerce
have
gone
on
record
as
favoring
having
the
base
as
an
operating
civilian
enterprise
and
sugges

have
also
been
made
that
airlines
and

In
