Officials of the city of Warner Robins, Ga., believe the land swap with the state they started four years ago to gain control of 544 acres on the northern edge of Robins AFB, Ga., is at hand, reports the Macon (Ga.)

The hold-up in the deal was the federal stipulation that the city property had to be developed for public recreational purposes—which the city completed last year.
