WATSJOLD APPOINTED
AIRPORT "MANAGER"
At the request of Allen K.
Neeley, Bureau of Public Roads,
Mayor Russell Painter appoint
ed Councilman Oscar Watsjold
airport manager at the regular
council meeting last Monday
night.
In making his request, Mr,
Neeley stated that although the
BPR has entered into a contract
with Tony Schwamm, Director
of Aviation, for snow removal
on the strip, it is desirable to
have one person designated as
a go-between or liaison officer
for the Bureau and the air lines.
“After all,” Neeley said, “we
are a government agency and not
at the beck and call of every
flier who uses the strip. There
must be just one person author
ized to report field conditions
and order snow removal at cer
tain times and places."
Watsjold was appointed to
the job (wifliout pay, since the
field is outside city jurisdiction),
as the councilman who is most
familiar with landing require
ments, being a flier himself.
