(Bill) Dobbins said Wednes day he has asked thc state to put up an additional $10,000 for the new Laurens County airport. Dobbins said funds for the planner airport ran unexpect edly short and that he re quested the state to appropri ate the needed money' in the general appropriations bill now in conference committee. With an additional $10,000 from the county and state, the Federal Aviation Agency will put up matching funds to pro vide sufficient to complete the work. It was at first thought the airport project could be built for $112,000, but now it appears that approximately $140,000 will be required. The senator made the re quest to the Senate conferees currently negotiating with House counterparts on their differences in thc money measure. Dobbins said the way to make the request came open after the Senate granted its committee free conference powers. Otherwise, the mon ey could not be appropriated by the state this year. Free conference powers al low the committees to nego tiate on items which were not previously at issue. Dobbins was optimistic about chances of getting the additional money. But in case the effort fails, he said the county is prepared to provide the airport funds with an un derstanding that the state will reimburse it in next year’s ap propriations bill. Dobbins introduced legisla tion Wednesday to return to county ownership 150 acres off the old Laurens-Clinton Highway for the airport. The land is now deeded to the County Airport Commission. The senator explained that federal funds would not be available under federal regu lations unless the county owns the property. He said the air port commission codld not pledge county faith and cre dit as required by thc Federal Aviation Agency. The federal government has earmarked $60,000 for the air port and the county and state $30,000 each.
