the  mind  to  the  special  objective  and 
then  study  to  solve  for  all  phases  that 
which  will  fit  that  objective.  What  is 
the  objective? 
Just  this.  To  build  a 
safe  port  for  all  sizes  of  aircraft,  for 
all  hours  of  all  days  of  every  year,  in 
daylight  or  darkness  and  in  sunshine

men,  each  with  special  experience  in 
some  one  phase  of  airport  designing. 

to  house 

To  design  such  a  port  involves  so 
many  branches  of  engineering  and 
architecture  that  it  may  be  desirable  to 
mention  some  of  those  divisions  in  or 
der  to  more  clearly  illustrate  this  need 
and  requirement. 

First,  the  site  must  be  selected  with 

attention  given  to  the  three  basic  di 
visions: 

(a)  Suitability  for  safe  flying; 
(b)  Area  available  and  necessary; 
(c)  Location  with  respect  to  the 

community  served. 
A  site  having  qualified  under  these 
three  general  headings  and  their  many 
subdivisions,  there  must  be  obtained 
accurate  data  and  facts  pertaining  to 
the  existing  conditions  involving  me 
teorology,  wind-direction,  velocity  and 
heights;  precipitation-rain,  snow  and 
fog;  also  soil  analysis  at  surface  and 
sub-surface,  each  gauged 
for  kind, 
depth,  fertility,  reagency,  and  fertility, 
as  well  as  drainage 
factor  of  soil, 
with  height  of  water  table. 

These  facts  together  with  those  per 
taining  to  all  other  interior  and  ex 
terior  conditions  must  be  carefully 
tabulated,  the  latter  involving  the  arti 
ficial  and  natural  hazards  of  every 
kind,  also  facts  pertaining  to  highways, 
railroads,  waterways;  both  local  and 
general;  the  public  services  that  are 
available  such  as  water,  electricity,  gas, 
telephone,  telegraph,  etc.—and  that  is 
not  all.  Attention  must  be  given  to  the 
business  side,  such  as  the  cost  of  the 
improvements,  cost  of 
land,  cost  of 
maintenance, 
revenue, 
estimates  of 
financing,  and  methods  of  promotion.

there  is  now  a  safe  and  practical  de

development  and  growth.  Airport  de
