JET USE OF HAREWOOD
Protest At Delay By Minister
Many of the South Island local bodies which had supported the “jets for the South Island” protest meeting had been asking what was happening, and some had objected to the statement of the Minister of Civil Aviation (Mr McAlpine) that the Tasman would be closed to jet aircraft operators for three or four years, said Mr S. B. Barltrop. the organiser of the meeting yesterday. Mr Barltrop expressed disappointment that the Minister had not yet been able to meet a deputation from the City Council and representatives of the protest commit-
tee. but had found time to attend the opening of a Harewood service station. The Minister had met a council deputation on February 3 and promised earnest consideration and an early reply to representations for the use of the Christchurch airport by jet aircraft. Fifteen weeks was far too long to wait for a reply, Mr Barltrop said.
