The question has arisen asto whether or not the Board of Selectmen will
be satisfied and wil2 consider it as a compliance with its vote that no
further work or improvement shall be made on this particular runway at its
northerly end within ~00 feet of Sutton Street. The CAA.wants to be sure
that leaving the final 300 feet of the old runway in its present existing '.
condition would no~ be considered am a reason for refusing.to allow removal
of the trees when the new runway surface is completed and ends 500' norhh
of Sutton Street.
THE Board replied to this letter in further interpretation of thei~ vote
of May 25, 1943, as amended on June 15, 1943, stating that they did not
expect.~he City o~Lawrence or the Civil Aeronautics Administration
to improve or rebuild the present and existing seotion of the NNW-SSE runway
of the Lawrence Muhicipat Airport ~ithin'300' of its existing southerly
terminus, which point is now approximately gOO' north of Sutton Street,
making a total distance of approximately 500' north of Sutton not to be
improved or rebuilt as a runway.
