Burglars Steal $65; Pass Large Cash Amount
Burglars who some time last night broke into the Meacham Field office of National Air Lines, Inc., stole a total of $65.96 but overlooked a considerably larger amount stored in a tin box in one of the rooms.
According to a report submitted to the city police this morning, the prowlers entered the operations office of the company, by cutting a screen window, then breaking the glass and finally by turning the latch on the door.
In the front office the thieves found $50, but did not find the tin box hidden under a desk. In the rear room the burglars got $15.96 from a desk.
Patrolman Ansel Albury investigated for the police. Chief Deputy Sheriff Moreno Wallace was to take fingerprints in the building.
