Boston’s Airport

Boston has opened its airport. But New York, self-styled greatest city in the world, has none. Mitchel Field on Long Island is at least 45 minutes by train from the center of Manhattan. Governor’s Island is, on the other hand, but a few minutes from the very heart of the city. Only a part of the island is used for military purposes. The Merchants’ Association of New York has opened a great fight with the War Department to allow the island to be used for the legitimate and logical purpose of an airport.
