ARMY AIRPORT.
GREAT PLANS FOR HONOLULU. LONG-CONSIDERED PROGRAMME (United Press Association—Copyright.) HONOLULU, March 21. v Plans for a huge Army airport adjoining Fort Kamehameha, near Pearl Harbour, are rapidly taking shape. Agreements were reached in February between the United States Government and private landowners, by which approximately 2500 acres of land will be transferred to the Federal Govera- ■ ment, which will pay 1,840,000 dollars for the land and the yalne of the < growing crops. The plans provide for 12 hangars for land 'planes and two double hangars for seaplanes. There will be two sets of barracks for enlisted men, also officers' quarters, post office, telephone exchange, gymnasium, warehouses, fire station, garages, engineering shop and administration building. The authorities state that this project should not be considered in the light of an American counter-move to any recent' move of development in Pacific affairs, but as part of the Government's long-considered and unified programme for general development of appropriate areas on Oahu, making Hawaii a military and navy outpost of the United States.
