and assistance in directing negotiations and to Mr. Long in the Attorney's office for their assistance. . Mayor Keller expressed appreciation to the Airport Commission and the members of the various airlines, noting the hard work that had gone into the negotiation of the new leases. He said he was very encouraged for the exciting period in the progress for the airline service for the city of Eugene. Mr. Haws r.oved, seconded b:' M::-.
