BY AIR TO THE WEST COAST
SERVICES FROM NELSON AND WELLINGTON
INAUGURATION IN FEBRUARY LIKELY
[THE PRESS Special Service] WESTPORT, January 15. If the hopes of the Westport Aero Club are realised, the holding of a' South Island aero pageant at Hokitika on February 12 and 13 will coincide with the inauguration of commercial air services from Wellington and Nelson to Westport and the" West Coaßt. . This question was discussed at the Quarterly meeting of the Westport Aero Club to-night, at which Mr J. H. Greenwood presided. Whether it will be possible to commence the air services will depend on the state of the Westport aerodrome, which it is hoped to have in readiness to be licensed in February. The erection of hangars at Westport was also discussed, and it was decided to approach the Westport Borough Council and Buller County Council asking for financial assistance, and also to endeavour to find out from the Public Works Department the date when the aerodrome is expected to be ready. . . r
