AIR MAIL BASE.
’DROME AT ROSE BAY. ‘ FEDERAL DECISION. CANBERRA, Aug. 3. The Federal Cabinet, after long consideration, has decided to establish the overseas air mail terminal at Rose Bay. An inside harbour will be ready for the inauguration of the fly-ing-boat service in January. The base will eventually be at Botany Bay, which is expected to become a huge* airport embracing both land and water machines in til© vicinity of Mascot Aerodrome. Only passengers and mails will he handled at Rose Bay. Repairs will be carried out elsewhere. Cabinet’s decision has been greatly delayed and hampered by the hostility of citizens in the Rose Bay area, who raised all manner of objections to the terminal being in their district, which contains fine homes and residential sites.
