RANDOLPH - A bond issue, calling for the issuance of $12,500 to build an airport at Randolph, is the chief interest in the annual Randolph city election. Election day is April 3.
The bond issue for the airport, placed on the ballot by petition, asks that bonds of $12,500 be issued by the city of Randolph for the purpose of acquiring land within or without the city limits to establish an aviation field, erect buildings and make improvements to adapt said field to the use of aerial traffic.
No active campaign in favor or against the proposed issue has been waged, in direct contrast to the active campaign carried on in 1948 when the park bond issue was proposed.
Voters going to the polls next Tuesday will also vote for two councilmen, one from each of the two wards, and two members of the school board. Candidates for both council posts and both posts on the school board are incumbents.
Candidates for the council are Dr.
G. E. Peters, first ward; Joe Sellon, second ward. For the school board positions candidates are Rev. H. E.
Hoff and Joe Sellon.

RANDOLPH - Delmar French of Laurel, an ex-serviceman, has bought the filling station opposite the Den elevator from Mrs. J. W. Gries and sons, Howard and Gaylard Gries.
Mr. French was given immediate possession and expects to open the station within the very near future.
The station was built seven years ago by J. W. Gries, who operated the business, assisted by his sons. After they entered service Mr. Gries continued to operate the station until his death in June, 1944. Since that time the station has been closed.
Reopening of the station, which features Phillips 66 products, is welcomed here as a part of the post-war business development in Randolph.
