ALDWORTH (Cont'd):
This we can, and do every day, with scheduled aircraft. Another year, I hope, will see the same possible for all aircraft. The bottle neck of the airport will still be the neck of the bottle, but it will be still further positively controlled.

In these seven short years, from 1930 to and including 1936, traffic was increased on Newark Airport from 20,557 passengers, 905,555 pounds of mail and 49,695 pounds of express to approximately 265,00 passengers, 3,800,000 pounds of mail and 2,175,000 pounds of express in 1936. Newark Airport is the busiest airport in the world and over New Jersey the busiest air lanes and airways in the world. It will be noted, I am sure, by my listeners on WABC that not a single commercial air passenger has been killed in the whole state of New Jersey in more than five years.
