INDUSTRIAL SECTION

PROGRESS REPORT {as of December 10, 1962)

I. Since our last Progress Report of November 7, 1962, we have made definite progress among the following companies:

(A) RADIO CORPORATION OF AMERICA on December 12, 1962 officially approved RCA participation at the Fair. All the details of the lease involving numerous complications have been resolved by Mr. Thornton and RCA's attorney. This has been a long and difficult negotiation and we are delighted that RCA is at last committed to exhibiting at the Fair.

(B) WESTlliGHOUSE ELECTRIC COMPANY Lease negotiations are in the final stages with certain variances still to be approved by the Legal Department and the Conformity Committee. Approximately 22, 000 sq. ft. is involved in the Federal-State Section, the site of the 1939 Westinghouse Time Capsule (Block 41 -Lot 3).

(C) BROWN & WILLIAMSON TOBACCO CORPORATION Lease negotiations are in the final stages, covering 14, 684 sq. ft. 1n Block 21- Lot 1. Architects (Skidmore, Owings & Merrill) and builders (George A. Fuller Company), and interior designers (Teague Associates), have already been contracted for. We anticipate an attractive and substantial exhibit at this entrance to the Fair alongside the RCA Exhibit.

n. Favorable progress continues in the following situations:

(A) ARGUS INCORPORATED Mr. Herbert Leopold, President of the company, will be in New York on December 12th to discuss more specific plans for an exhibit involving approximately 10, 000 sq. ft.

(B) ART MUSEUM Mr. Charles Spalding, in conjunction with McGraw-Hill and Price Matthews Corporation, believes he has a sponsor who will support an art exhibit on a 40, 000 sq. :ft. plot (in all likelihood Block 9 - Lot 10). A $2, 000, 000 to

Page4

INDUSTRIAL SECTION

PROGRESS REPORT (as of December 10, 1962)

II. (B) ART MUSEUM (continued)

$3,000,000 expenditure is involved, probably with an entrance charge.

(C) GENERAL :MILLS, INC. General Rawlings, President of General Mills, and Nate Crabtree, Vice President in charge of Public Relations, have approved an exhibit plan for a site covering 20,000 sq. ft. We expect to visit Minneapolis shortly for more extensive talks where the prospects, for the first time in several months, seem to have been definitely revived.

(D) LADIES' HOME JOURNAL This division of the Curtis Publishing Company has asked for a site covering approximately 25,000 sq. ft. and has their staff actively worldng on a projected exhibit.

(E) P. LORlLLARD CO. A change in top management at Lorillard has reopened consideration of Fair participation. Mr. Morgen Cramer, now President, is a Fair enthusiast. Dan Ladd, Advertising Director, is arranging for a meeting with Mr. Cramer.

(F) MINNEAPOUS-HONEYWELL REGULATOR CO, Original concepts submitted by a designer of their own choice were rejected. A new model and drawings were sent to Mirmeapolis on December 7. We should receive an answer shortly. Interest remains active.

(G) PARKER PEN COMPANY Parker has requested that a representative of this Section be in Janesville on December 1'7. They now wish to discuss a prime exhibit area of 15, 000 sq. ft.

(H) REVLON Despite the fact that Charles Revson, President of Revlon, asked for a "hold" on 20, 000 sq. ft. (Block 11 - Lot 7) in a meeting attended by Mr. Deegan and myself, he continues to be unavailable for further talks on a concrete proposal.

Page 5

INDUSTRIAL SECTION

PROGRESS REPORT (as of r:ecember 10, 1962)

II. (H) REVLON (continued)

Mr. Mandel, Executive Vice President of Revlon, remains confident, however, that Mr. Revson wants to be in the Fair and continually needle~; him, on our insistence (and persistence).

(I) STANDARD BRANDS, INC. (Planters Peanuts) We continue to be unable to pin down a definite acceptance or rejection, but recent help from the Brass Rail with Mr. J. Paul Bryant, Vice President, and Mr. P. I. Eisenminger, Vice President of Standard Brands Sales Co. , has kept interest alive.

(J) Negotiations are also continuing with the following companies:

Schlitz Brewing Company Magna vox Philip Morris Lever Brothers Co. Brillium Metals Corporation National Coal Policy Council Sperry Rand -Univac Division Carling Breweries

all of these in preliminary discussions.

m. This past month has been a particularly discouraging and frustrating one for the Industrial Section because of a number of bitter disappointments:

(A) AMERICAN HOME PRODUCTS After several meetings, American Home Products has sent us a final decision of withdrawal of consideration of an exhibit.

(B) P. BALLANTINE & SONS Despite every evidence that Ballantine would sponsor the Assembly Arena on Block 35-A (111, 000 sq. ft.) we have been turned dovm. A major investment of $15,000,000 by Ballantine in brewery improvements was given as the reason.

Paqe8

INDUSTRIAL SECTION


m. (C) ELGIN NATIONAL WATCH CO. A meeting of Elgin's Board of Directors on November 18th found a proposal to lease 25, 000 sq. ft. too expensive. We have some hope of reviving a project of lesser dimensions and expense.

(D) H. J. HEINZ CO, At a special meeting on November 12th, attended by Mr. Heinz and Mr. Armour, an exhibit plan covering 20,000 sq. ft. on the Pool of Industry failed to meet approval. We will continue to pursue Heinz, but the prospects look dim despite previous optimism by everyone connected with this presentation.

(E) SINGER SEWING MACIIDJE CO, After consideration of a design submitted by us, Singer Sewing Machine Co. has rejected participation in the Fair.

(F) 20th CENTURY FOX An original estimate of $1,000,000 to $1, 500,000 for the cost of transporting the Cleopatra Barge to Flushing Meadow ultimately resulted, after considerable expense and study of costs, in an increased estimate of $2, 500, 000. The project has therefore been abandoned.

IV. Developments since the last Progress Report among the Multiple Exhibitors have been hectic and, typically, confusing:

(A) BETTER LIVING Edward Burdick has refused to marry with any other .multiple exhibitor. This decision was made after several days of negotiation. As late as the day this report is being submitted, we were hopeful that California and Texas interests would be underwriting the Better Living building, but the very latest information is that the necessary financing will not be forthcoming. Prospects of Better Living being in the Fair, therefore, are bleak.

(B) Each of the Multiple Exhibitors has been given demands of strict compliance with the requirements of submission of preliminary plans and construction permits, plus building schedules.

Page 7

INDUSTRIAL SECTION


IV. (C) GRAPHIC ARTS' lease has been officially terminated (50, 001 sq. ft. on Block 8 - Lot 4, and 6, 000 sq. ft. on Block 8 -Lot 6).

(D) PROJECT '64 has 1mtil December 31, 1962, when the next lease payment of $90,000 is due. The likelihood of their success is minimal.

V. SPECIAL PROJECTS

(A) PAN AMERICAN EIGHWAY Dr. Bertram D. Talla.my is working in cooperation with this Section and a full presentation has been prepared on the use of Walt Disney's Circarama. A presentation will be made to Standard Oil Company of New Jersey by Dr. Tallamy and ourselves. Landon Thorne, Jr. of Bankers Trust Company has indicated an interest on the part of his bank in extending a loan for half of the cost of this project (approximately $1,000,000 of a $2,000, 000 total cost) but this is being reserved for consideration by a less substantial company than ESSO and would involve the principle of an admission charge.

(B) REH.ABILiri'A TION CENTER Designs have been completed and costs determined for an exhibit by Dr. Rusk's Institute of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation.

Presentations to a number of insurance companies are being held up pending return of Dr. Rusk from a trip to the Far East.

(C) AMERICAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION Dr. Annis, the new President of the AM.A, and his Board of Directors have given approval of a concerted effort by the AMA to obtain the support of the Druq and Pharmaceutical companies for a Hall of Medicine. With Red Motley's help, what might otherwise have been a limited expenditure by AMAin a multiple exhibit building may now possibly be converted into a major exhibit at the Fair. At least hope still remains even at this late date.

Status

On November 30, General Motors signed a lease . supplement under which it assumed the obli• gation to landscape and maintain 62,086 sq. ft. of back area adjoining their exhibit •. In return for the substantial additional expenses that GM will incur, they will be permitted to install a lUDited number of outdoor exhibits on the new space.

Messrs. Briggs 6 Crane are continuing their plans on this project. Becauae of a lack of support from other firms in the industry, it now appears that the Outboard Marine Corporation will play the major role in the Center. I believe this will reduce the size of this exhibit.

On November 23, Greyhound signed the leaae for their combination Bxhibit•MaintenanceOperations area in the Transportation Section.

Century Grill bas previously signed a lease for llp001 sq. ft. We have concluded nego• tiations for an additional strip of. approximately 3,350 sq. ft. The exact amount of additional space needed and the execution of the lease supplement must await the completion! of prelUninary construction plans which will be filed in mid-December.

The Pair's legal staff is now preparing a lease draft. Meanwhile, the organizers of this project are going ahead rapidly with their planning. We expect to sign a lease in January.

We expect the lease signing for this concession in mid-January. Mr. Constable 1 s off· ice is handling negotiations.

It finally appears that the stroller concession will become a reality. As a matter of fact, we now have two firm proposals - one from Strol-A-Matic, Inc. and another from a syndicate headed by Mr. Rubie who is the largest stockholder in The Hertz Rent-A-Car Corporation.

After several months of inactivity, we have finally been able to get Eastern back on the track for the World 1s Fair. We should have a good deal more information for the next Executive Committee meeting.

We anticipate that in late December Mobile Care will sign a lease for 10,000 sq. ft. at the western end of Lot 50·19, Mobile Care is a charitable organization that will supply wheel chairs and other means of transportation to disabled visitors.

An Agreement had been reached in conjunction with Mr. Constable for leasing 15,052 sq. ft. for a luxury restaurant. The agreement calli for a sliding scale of percentage of gross revenues to be applied against the basic rental of $8.00 per sq. ft.

Subsequent to the above, all action has been deferred until Mr. Stone has settled his nego• tiations with this client for a large area in the Industrial Section.

We expect a final decision on this project in the near future.

Although the client has expressed a preferance: for 17,000 sq. ft. in Lot 50-19 in the Transportation Section, negotiations have been suspended pending the outcome of a proposed International Plaza in the International Section.

The promotion staff of the Mobil Oil Company, the domestic marketing arm of Socony Mobil, has recommended participation with a specific exhibit proposal. Higher manageme~t has the recommendation under consideration and we hope for a decision in the near future.

Status

Following up my meeting with Mr. Webb of NASA on November 14:~ we have developed a new plan for Aerospace Island, which we have placed before all of the important firms in the industry. They are presently evaluating it and we expect to have their reaction by the end of this month.

Mr. McCollum, Chairman of the Board of API, has advised us that although the API was greatly impressed with the Disney naau of Presidents", the API Board of Directors have decided to reaffirm its earlier decision not to participate in the Fair. Despite this decision. we are now developing alternative exhibit ideas in the hope that this industry can be made to change its mind. The d:l.ffi· culty is that the Board of Directors objected to an admissions show and we were unable to dissuade them.

We have continued our efforts, in conjunction with District Attorney O'Connor's staff, to sell the idea of a Motoring Safety Center. The response to date has not been encouraging. However, there is a possibility that the two or three groups which still have the proposal under consideration• may sponsor this project.

After several months of detailed study, Good• year has advised that they do not have sufficient time to design and construct the Carveyor, I am not now hopeful that they will exhibit but we will keep trying.

On November 13, 1962, the Executive Committee authorized the President to negotiate and execute an agreement of lease between

. the Fair Corporation and Strol-A-Matic, Inc. for the rental of child strollers and wheel chairs.

Since then, a proposal has been received from another group offering a higher percentage of gross receipts to the Fair and whose financial record is stronger. Details of that proposal are presented in a separate paper.

SUBJECT: BABY STROLLER CONCESSION

We have received from Howard R. &'uslak, President of MacDonald and Co., Inc. of Nnw York, Financial Consultants, acting as an individual, and Richard S. nobie of Boston, Massachusetts, Director and largest single shareholder of the Hertz Corporation, a proposal for the baby stroller and wheel chair concession. The terms are as follows:

1. Lease 12,000 sq. ft. in the Industrial Area and two units of 6, 000 sq. ft. each in the Transportation Area.

Pay $8. 00 per sq. ft. - $192, 000 - to apply against 10% of the gross income.

2. They want to have dignified advertising on the strollers. This would be subject to Fair Corporation approval.

3. The right to have vending machines in the 3 locations. The number of machines and food items sold would be subject to Fair Corporation approval.

4. The right to sell souvenirs and they would pay us 12% of such gross income. Fair Corporation would specify what souvenirs they could sell.

5. They expect to have construction manufacturers build 3 prefabricated types of buildings, subject to our approval.

The terms of this proposal are more advantageous to the Fair a.t;\d the individuals concerned are more financially responsible than the proposal received from Strol-A-Matic, Inc.

The staif has approved acceptance of thls proposal and I concur. Therefore, I request authorization from the Executive Committee to negotiate and conclude an agreement with Messrs. Suslak and Robie substantially in accordance with the terms outlined above •

Amendment of Article XX of the Fair Corporation's General Rules and Regulations

Article XX of the Fair Corporation 1 s General Regulations presently provides in substance that exhibits may not be copied or reproduced without consent of the exhibitor but that the . Fair Corporation may permit firms to copy or reproduce exterior views of exhibits. Interior views are subject to approval by the exhibitor.

I recomm~nd that Article XX be revised to make clear that although an exhibitor may copy or reproduce his own exhibit, he may not copy or reproduce other exhibits or permit others to copy or reproduce his exhibit without the consent of the Fair Corporation.

In addition, I believe that Article XX should make clear that the Fair Corporation's licensees will have the right to distribute and sell articles containing reproductions of exhibits.

The amended regulation would read as follows:

PROEIBITION OF REPRODUCTION

ARTICLE XX

(a) Unless otherwise provided in a participant 1 s agreement with the Fair Corporation, each participant, for his own promotional purposes, may take and use or arrange for the taking and use of pictures, both motion and still, depicting or relating to the building, exhibit, entertainment, attraction or activity of such participant at the Fair and which do not depict or relate to other buildings, exhibits, entertainments, attractions or activities at the Fair.

su8JICT: PROPOSED LICENSE FOR WC>RLD'S FAIR FLASHLIGHT NOVELTY ITEMS

A category of souvenir products which have a place in a balanced merchandise program for New York World's Fair souvenir items involves battery-operated flashlight products. This would include pen-lights {fLashlights in the shape of fountain pens), key-chain lights, compact purse lights, and rechargeable fl.ashl ight sets that would'retail in the $1. 00 to $2. 00 category generally.

Such novelty flashlight products are not found generally in the lines of tile recognized national brand leaders in the battery field such as Eveready, Burgess and Ray-0-Vac. Media Enterprises, therefore., concentrated on the companies with substantial manufacturing and national distribution facilities which now specialize in such items and whose range of manufacturing activities could result in the development of the imaginative line of products they believe desirable in this field.

Proposals were obtained from two companies:

l. Bright Star Industries, Clifton, New Jersey 2. Mallory Battery Company, No. Tarrytown, New York

Bright Star Industries has been in business for over 50 years and lists among its established customers the leading retail chains and department stores in the country. It offered $10,000 advance payment against a 5% royalty.

The Mallory Battery Company is a division of P.R. Mallory and Company, Inc. with headquarters in Indianapolis, Indiana.

suiJJt:cT: PROPOSED LICENSE FOR WORLD1S FAIR SCARVES AND HANDKERCHIEFS (Under $100, 000)

The category of women's, ·men's and children's handkerchiefs and women's scarves offers an attractive potential in revenue and in promotional value for the Fair Corporation's licen~ing program.

Media Enterprises, Inc. , our licensing agent, interviewed 13 companies in an effort to obtain the best proposal for this license. Of the 13 companies, proposals were submitted by the following:

1. Brian Fabrics Products 2. Durlacher and Company, Inc. 3. Victor B. Randal & Bro. , Inc. 4. Handcraft Mig. Co. 5. Herrmann-Herzman Inc. 6. Novelty Veiling Co., Inc. 7. I. Shalom & Co. 8. David E. Schwab & Company, Inc. 9. Vera, Inc •.

Victor B. Randal & Bro. offered an advance payment of $15, 000 to apply against a straight 5% royalty.

Herrmann-Herzman Inc. made the· same offer.

Vera, Inc. offered an advance of $17, 500 to apply against royalties as follows:

6% on the first $500,000 of sales, 7% on the next $200, 000, 8% on the next $200, 000, and 9% on all sales in excess of $900, 000.

In addition to making the best offer, Media believes Vera would be by all odds the most aggressive company in promoting offsite sales which would bring the greatest revenue return to the Fair as well as the most meaningful promotional benefits far in advance of the Fair's opening •

suiiJrrcT: PBQPOSED LICENSE FOR WORI.!D1S FAIR CIGAR,E.'ITE LIGHTERS

Cigarette lighters, bearing the "Unisphere" or reproductions of various bull dings of the Fair, should prove to be worthwhile additions to the Fair1s merchandise prog-.cam since ·they have both souvenir and functional value.

Media Enterprises, our licensing agent, interviewed the following five companies:

1. Ebsco Industries, Inc. , of Birmingham, Alabama 2. Jacques Kreisler Manufacturing Corporation, of

North Bergen, New Jersey 3. Ronson Corporation, of Woodbridge, New Jersey 4. Scripta, Inc. , of Atlanta, Georgia 5. Zippo Manufacturing Company, of New York City

Jacques Kreisler concluded that their product would be too high priced for the public attending the Fair.

The Ronson Corporation stated it was against company policy to pay royalties in connection with the sale of its lighters.

The Zippo Manufacturing Company did not elect to make a proposal.

The two proposals received were from Ebsco Industries, Inc. and Scripta, Inc.

Scripta markets items that retail at $3. 95 to $5. 00 but stated if it were granted the license, it would introduce a $1.98 lighter for sale at the Fair. They offered an advance payment of $15,000 to apply against a 8% royalty.

Scripto does not employ organized labor.

Ebsco was established in 1943 and has dealt in the volume importation of Japanese lighters under the Vulcan trade-name. In view of their wellestablished lighter business, Ebsco maintains a permanent buying office in

Japan. Its line of lighters sell from $1. 00 to $15. 00 retail and it has been averaging $10, 000,000 in sales annually for all of its products. It sells each product with a life-time guarantee of repair at no cost to the purchaser. It has its own sales force of 120 men and maintains active accounts with some 4, 000 advertising specialty distributors throughout the country.

Ebsco offers an advance payment of $37, 500 to apply against a 10% royalty on its $1. 00 retail line and 12% on its higher priced line.

The Dun & Bradstreet report on Ebsco carries an AA 1 rating.

Ebsco can make no commitment regarding the labor status on personnel preparing the product in Japan but the license would contain our customary provision regarding the union status of personnel making deliveries to the Fair site and sales at the Fair. Judge Maguire has been consulted in this matter and has no objection to our negotiating with Ebsco.

Media recommends that the license be awarded to Ebsco and the staff agrees. I concur and in view of the fact that the estimated income to the Fair will be less than $100, 000, I request your approval to 111ard the license to Ebsco.

tUII..IEcT: Clarke and Rapuano, Inc.

Attached hereto is a letter dated November 19, 1962 which Mr. Witt turned over to me from Gilmore Clarke. The letter states that on July 1, 1962 the· partnership of Clarke and Rapuano transferred their professional activities to Clarke and Rapuano, Inc. Mr. Clarke requests permission to bill the Fair Corporation through Clarke and Rapuano, Inc. beginning September 1, 1962.

You will recall that a similar change from partnership to corporate activities was made in the case of Andrews and Clark a short while ago.

The significance of such a change lies principally in the fact that in the case of a corporate entity liability is limited to the assets of the corporation, whereas in the case of a partnership the individual partners are responsible for obligations of the partnership not only out of partnership assets but also out of their personal funds.

Inasmuch as a transfer was approved in the case of Andrews and Clark, we assume that you and Mr. Witt have no objection to this transfer.

If this is the case, we suggest that you send a memorandum to Mr. Moses somewhat along the lines of the attached memo which you sent under date of ~tober 4, 1962 concerning the Andrews and Clark situation. Upon approvd by Mr. Moses the matter should go before the Executive Committee as was done in the case of Andrews and Clark.

rn order to avoid unnecessary problems with respect to the drainage of storm water from participants' sites, it is desirable that the Fair Corporation's regulations be amended to provide generally for the drainaqe of storm water from the participant's leased site to the Fair Corporation's storm drainage system. Accordingly, I recommend the addition of a new Article 27 of Part 1 of the Fair Corporation's Special Regulations as follows:

27. STORM DRAINAGE SYSTEM

In order to adequately provide for the drainage of storm water from the participant's site to the Fair Corporation's storm drainage system, the participa.YJ.t shall be required to comply with the following conditions:

(a) The participant shall insure that all roof drains shall be connected directly to the Fair Corporation's storm drainage system. Connections shall be made at the catch basin or drain stub located at or adjacent to the participant's site, and, shall be made by means of a conduit manufactured from a material or materials approved under the provisions of the Fair Corporation's Building Code.

(b) The participant shall, by a method approved in writing by the Fair Corporation, provide all paved areas at his site with drainage inlets connected to the Fair Corporation's storm drainage system, or, in the alternative, shall cause all such paved areas to be drained into the adjacent streets in a manner satisfactory to the Fair Corporation. Participant will also be required to insl.l!'e that no concentrated flow of storm water from the participant's site is conducted into adjacent streets by means of curb cuts or surface pipe.

(c) The participant shall grade all landscaped areas at his site so that the pocketing of storm water may be prevented, and will design such grade so as to maintain the natural sheet flow of storm water. Whenever deemed necessary by the Fair Corporation, the participant shall provide piped outlets from such landscaped areas to the Fair Corporation's storm drainage system.

contd.

ROBERT MOSES -2- December 13, 1962

{d) Whenever the elevation of the participant's site is such that the natural flow of storm water is from the participant's site to an adjacent site, participant must obtain the prior written approval of the Fair Corporation in order to permit such natural flow to continue. In the event the participant does not obtain such approval from the Fair Corporation, he shall cause such drainage to be piped directly to the storm sewer in the adjacent street.

This regulation was drawn up with the assistance and approval of Andrews and Clarke, our consultants, and also has been reviewed edited and approved by Legal Counsel. .

Your approval is requested of the following report for presentation to the Executive Committee.

Final plans have just been received for the Pool of Industry (Fountain of the Planets) and for the Solar and Lunar Fountains. However, the Astral Fountain and the street lighting plans have been delayed over a month. On road and bridge items the major paving contract for ne>..i. year and the three parking fields have each been delayed by a month, and the two remaining bridges are also late. All of these road and bridge items are now due in fina.l form by the end of December. Plans for the information booths were delayed by a change in requirements, and plans for the covered assembly pavilion are held up by necessity of processing a variance through the Board of Standards and Appeals. None of these delays appears serious in itself, but at this time no delay is acceptable. We should still be able to get the last oi these items under contract by 1 April unless further slippages occur.

The 4160 volt electric system is now almost complete for the main exhibit area of the Fair. The interim maintenance arrangement will be terminated and the system turned over to Operations Division for maintenance on 5 January.

A minimum network of roads is now reasonably satisfactory for construction traffic throughout the main exhibit area. To supplement the paving under Park Department contracts, cinder roads have been shaped up to complete the network essential for winter traffic. A letter-size map has been prepared for contractors and suppliers indicating the roads to be used this winter, and the location of various exhibitors pa.villons with reference to the road system. Temporary street signs wlll be placed by the end of this month.

The Security Building is nearing completion but will not be ready for occupancy before 7 J"a.nua.ry, a delay of three weeks. The press building is closed in and is going ver1 well, and four of the five administrative and maintenance buildings now have steel erected.

B. Entrance ticket booths, to Taller-Cooper, Inc. for $228, 600. 66

Separate memoranda are submitted regarding these contracts.

One new exhibitors memorandum has been issued, governing precautions to be observed in temporary water connections to avoid freezing of hydrants during winter weather. ·

A total of ll. exhibitors have been issued permits to commence construction, of which about~ are actively at work. Among those most actively engaged, Ford and General Motors both have impressive frameworks of structural steel in place and are working on walls. The Bell System has all of its steel and wood piles in place· and is proceeding with the main slab. Travelers Insurance has all piles and pile caps in place and is working on outer walls. G. E. pavilion has walls and a la.rqe part of its superstructure in place. The New York State pavilion has completed eight of the sixteen reinforced concrete 100 ft. towers, utilizing the slip form method of construction. The completion of this difficult work during unfavorable weather indicates a recognitiOn of the importance of pushing conatruction now. EXhibitors plans and applications are now being processed in increasing numbers, still without appreciable delays.

The labor force again increased substantially in November. World's Fair and Park Department contracts now employ an average of 464, and exhibitors' contracts 845, or a total of 1109 on the World's Fair site. This compares with 856last month, a gain of about 30%. ·

RE: Progress on Arterial Highway Construction in the Vicinity of the World's Fair

The onset of cold weather has caused an appreciable decrease in production. Generally, this will not affect the total progress on the highways because the contractors' schedules anticipated a slowdown during the winter months.

On Contract No. 6 (DeLillo) the parkway paving across the Utopia Parkway bridge has not been completed, which may hold the detour on the service road all winter.

On Contract No. 15 (Ottaviano) work has stopped on all concrete operations, which will delay opening the new bridge until probably June 1st with delays to the adjoining contracts. The contractor has been summoned to Albany for a showdown on December 18th.

All contracts are proceeding satisfactorily except for the following:

Ottaviano has shut down the job for the winter. This has been done in spite of direct orders from the Superintendent of Public Works that the work should continue during the winter months. Ottaviano has been called to Albany for a conference on Tuesday, December 18th. I will report to you on the result of this meeting.

The District Engineer has said that he would pay for additional detour facilities in order to permit Slattery to continue his work on Northern Boulevard on schedule. However, up to this time we have been unable to secure any definite information about these arrangements and have no assurance that they will be carried out on a satisfactory basis. I will have a further report for you on this next Thursday.
