Gentlemen:
It is the feeling of the Board of Directors of the Carlsbad
Chamber of Commerce that, since Palomar Airport is now
in the approximate center of Carlsbad's city limits, it is
time that our city's name be added to that facility.
At the Jan. 17, 197^ meeting of the Board, a motion was
carried to ask the City of Carlsbad to use its influence to
have the airport known as Carlsbad-Palomar Airport.
Such a designation would make the airport more readily
identifiable as a part of our community.
The Chamber will appreciate any action you can take in
this matter.

Dear Chris:
Reference your letter of January 22nd, I quite
agree with you and the Board of Directors of the Chamber
that a change in the name of Palomar Airport to the
Carlsbad-Palomar Airport would be hiqhly desirable. I
will bring the matter up at the next Council meeting
which will be held February 6, 1973 and get the support
of the Council on this proposal. I would prefer, if
possible, that it be called simply Carlsbad Airport, but
that might be too drastic a channe at this time. We will
follow through on this and let you and the Board of Di-
rectors know what success we have.
Incidentally, on another matter, our latest offi-
cial records and recent tally of population shows Carls-
bad with a total count of 16,300. I suggest that the
change be made on your Chamber of Commerce signs. We
will contact the State Highway Department to change the
oopulation signs at the entrances to the City.
Best regards for the coming year.
Sincerely,
OAVID M. DUNNE
