A RESOLUTION REQUESTING CONSIDERATION BY
THE HOUSING AND HOME FINANCE AGENCY OF
THE TERMINATION OF A CERTAIN AGREEMENT
DATED MARCH 20, 1946, FOR IMPROVEMENTS
TO THE MUNICIPAL AIRPORT; AND FOR OTHER
PURPOSES.
WHEREAS, the United States of America has heretofore made
an advance, pursuant to an agreement dated March 20, 1946, to
the City of Little Rock in the amount of Thirty-Three Thousand
Eight Hundred Thirty-Four and No/100 Dollars ($33,634.00) for
the purpose of plan preparation of the public work described
in the agreement as a "Plan Preparation for Construction of
Certain Public Work;" and
WHEREAS, by the use of the Federal advance, the City of
Little Rock caused to be prepared plans and specifications for
the public work described in theaforesaid agreement; and
WHEREAS, no construction has been undertaken of the project
or any portion thereof described in the aforesaid agreement
dated as of the 20th day of March, 1946; and
WHE.ZEAS, there is no reasonable liklihood of the planned
project or any portion thereof being undertaken because:
A. During the period after acceptance on July 11, 1949,
a transition in the method of airport operation
occurred resulting in the creation in 1951 of The
Little Zock Municipal Airport Commission. During
this period, the public work described in the agree-
ment lay dormant.
B. A necessary period of time for organization was
required by the Airport Commission, during which
time no implementation of the plan occurred.
C. During this intervening time, the State of the Art
in Aviation and Airport Science progressed in such
a manner as to render these plans and specifications
for public work impractical.
D. Acting upon recommendations of the Federal Aviation
Agency, a new Master Plan was developed, incorporating
more advanced ideas and Technology. Upon acceptance
by the Airport Commission, all prior plans were
superseded.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
OF THE CITY OF LITTLE ROCK, ARKANSAS:
SECTION 1. There being no reasonable liklihood of the
aforesaid project or the plans and agreement dated March 20,
1946, between the City of Little Rock and the United States
of America acting by and through the Housing and Home Finance
Agency ever being implemented or placed under construction
for the reason set forth above, the housing and Home Finance
Administrator is hereby requested to make a determination
that the agreement dated March 20, 1946, for airport construc-
tion and improvement be terminated and that the City of Little
Rock be relieved of all liability thereunder and that the
plans and projects originally contemplated thereunder be
canceled and set aside for any and all purposes.
