Radio station and obstruction files, 1940-1983.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/122381341

The department cooperated with the federal government in researching physical obstructions to air navigation. If a broadcaster wants to erect a tower, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) informed the Civil Aeronautics Administration (CAA) which would inform the department. The department would research the proposed tower and report any objections to the CAA. The files contain correspondence, maps, and drawings. Some files have records of more than one obstruction pertaining to a particular area. This series is no longer created. Such matters are now the responsibility of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) which succeeded the CAA in the 1950's. Some of these files were created by the State Aviation Commission (1935-1943) and the Aviation Commission (1943-1945).
