mid-summer , hopefully in time to acquire final approval by all agencies and to begin operations this fall . 3 . REASONS WHY THE PROPERTY IS SUITABLE FOR PROPOSED USE Included in this material is a general description of the area that, hopefully, will become the proposed airport . The information will show that one of the applicants, Lee Forester , is the owner of a 165 acre farm situated in Sec . 36 T9N, R12E, Dane County. The farm is approximately one mile by one-half mile and is located between County Road TV on the north and Clarkson Road on the south .

Every person approached stated no objection and willingly signed the petition of approval (see the petition included herewith) .
