COUNTY TO RENT AIRPORT LIGHT       

County Attorney Albert L. Doyle said today that the new flood light for Bendix field, St. Joseph county airport, costing about $600 will be rented instead of purchased, but an agreement will be attempted whereby the light will be granted to the county by the owner after $600 has been paid in rental fees.
