OF THE Minutes of the meeting of March 19th was deferred to the next regular meeting.
E of the meeting was stated by Mayor Wilson to be the.informal consideration of the matter
ofsubmitting to the people of Fayetteville, Arkansas a proposal for issuing Bonds for certa
purposes to include the building of a City Hall and Auditorium, the establishment of an Air
port, and such other projects as might be agreed on. In concluding his .remarks,Mayor 1')ilson
mentioned a number of things as being desirable and well worthy of earnest consideration,
but
called attention to
the
limitations placed on the
City in the
matter of
issuing
Bonds b
the
State Constitution,
and
the necessity of holding
in reserve a
sufficient
taxing
power t
enable the City to meet such an emergency as the destruction of its Fire Fighting equipment.)
By direction of the Mayor the Clerk read the Amendment Number 13, to the State Constitution.
From the remarks of the visiting representatives of thevarious Civic Organizations it
became evident that a more systematic method of attacking the problem inias needed, and in or
der to arrive at a more definite plan of proceedure, it was deemed advisable for the Counci
on its part, to crystalize its palns, and for the other bodies to also formulate their plan
and at a subsqquent meeting to endeavor to arrive at a general uhderstanding. Whereupon the
representatives of said Organizations withdrew to the rooms of the Chamber of Commerce, and
the Council continued its session by further discussion, which finally resulted in the pass
ing of a motion aubhorizing the Mayor to appoint a committee charged with the duty of se-
curing
options on
properties suitable for the
location of a
City Hall and
Auditorium and
a
acreage
not less
than 60 acres, so located as
to be capable
of providing
runways of half
a
mile for a Landing Field. The Mayor appointed as such committee Aldermen Roy Scott, Don
Fuller and N.F. Drake.

nue Improvement District Number One of the City of Fayetteville, to attend the next Regular
