Unicef Exhibit on the Pepsi-Cola plot. Admission will be charged to

the ride. Mr. ;)tone summarized the terms of the Amendment.

Mr. Robinson and Mr. Gimbel inquired

as to the rental arrangement under the amendment. Mr. Stone replied

that Pepsi-Cola had made its first rental payment in accordance with

the usual arrangements with industrial exhibitors but that, in considera-

tion of Pepsi-Cola donating substantial space to the United States

Committee for Unicef and constructing an exhibit for Unicef, its re-

maining rental payments had been made payable out of the first net

operating revenues from the project. In view of the fact that the rental

return is now subject to a contingency, the total rental has been in-

creased. It is anticipated that, under the revised arrangement Pepsi-

Cola will, in the long run, pay the same rental due under its original

lease agreement plus a minimum of an additional $100,000 of rent.

to get the United Nations in the Fair in one form or another, and they

MEMORANDUM TO MEMBERS OF THE FINANCE COMMITTEE

FROM GEORGE E. SPARGO

The attached memorandum and breakdown of estimated cash-flow are self-explanatory. This is the matter which I would like to discuss at the June 7th meeting with the Executive Committee, and I have given them copies of this correspondence.

It would seem to me that we have two possibilities to meet any contingency that might arise about the end of the year:

1. Sell more Notes .

2. Reach an agreement with banks, insurance companies and otl1er large substantial business groups for the advance sale of tickets which, if the purchaser is not able to dispose of prior to February 29, 1964, we can agree to redeem by July of 1964.

Unfortunately the Resolution adopted by the Executive Committee authorizing the sale of Notes, which was adopted when the Fair was first started, contained a provision restricting short-term borrowing from banks.

I hope that you wlll give this some thought prior to June 7th and feel free to discuss it at the meeting to be held on that date.

suwECT, CASH FLOW

Attached i~ an estimate of the cash flow from May 1st to June 30, 1963, and quarterly t:nerea.fter to June 30, 1964. This estimate was prepared on a most conservative basis. ,:The receipts froin ground rentals, concessions, other services and utilities were ·Calculated on the basis of actual signed leases and contract~. Sites, licenses and concessions under negotiation are not included.

Admissions prior to April 1, 1964 of $6,300,000 represents advance tickt::t .sales of about 5, 000,000 tickets. Durinq the 1939 Fair the advance ticket sale was 61 000, 000 tickets and the SeatUe Fair had an advance sale of approximately 4, 000, 000 out of a. total attendance of 10, 000, 000 people. The am1ount included 1n this estimate is about one half of what the Thomas ;r. Deegan Ticket Sales DiVision confidenUy expects to ~a .

You will note that we have deducted 8% allowance on all receipts from October-1st on to provide for any tmfOJrseen circumstances and that no provision has been made for the sale of any further Notes.

The construction costs were submitted by the Enqineers on the basis of the total amount estimated by them without any allowance for contingencies, which now stands at about $1,100,000. The other expenditures were taken at the full amount budqeted for each period, although in the past we have consistentiy been running below that.

In my opinion the actual results will be a great improvement over the above estimates. However based on the picture shown above, we will run into a temporary dfficit in the later part of 1963 and the early part of 1964. Should it become apparent that these deficits will materialize, tickets can be sold to banks with the privilege of redemption. Three and a half million tickets will assure us of over $4,000,000 in receipts. The above estimate shows the $4, 000, 000 could be repaid by June 30, 1964. As a further 9Uarantee the month of J"uly will produce a revenue from admissions arid rentals of appro~mately $15,000,000 against an expense of about $3, 500,000 ::oo tho.t ticko presented for redampUon would surely be redeemed before Auqust 1, 1964 at the latest •

'"-.J susJECT: Amendments to Regulations Concerning Revenue Control

Part 5 of the Special Regulations of the Fair Corporation entitled 11Regulations Governing Revenue Control'' has remained substantially unchanged since its adoption two or three years ago.

During the period since the adoption of Part 5, t.~e various agreements between the Fair Corporation and its concessionaires have set forth spectfic revenue control requirements in some detail.

1v1r. Constable and Mr. Witc b~;lieve that it is now desirable to expand Part 5 so as to specify in greater detail the requirements as to revenue control and to conform such requirements to the procedures set forth in most concession agreements. A draft of a revised Part 5 has been prepared by us along lines recommended

·by Mr. Witt and the staff and approved by them. The principal features of the expanded Part 5 are as follows:

1). Revenues are to be collected daily by Pinkerton's and deposited in the commercial bank on the Fair site.

2). Concessionaires are to submit daily and monthly reports as to revenues.

3). A percentage of daHy gross receipts to be determined by the Fa.ir Corporation is to be deposited in an escrow account from which payments to the Fair Corporation only will be made. Amounts in the escrow account are to be periodically released to the concessionaire after payments due to the Fair Corporation have been made.

4). AcCOlmting procedures and forms to be used by conu cessionaires are to be submitted for approval.

contd.

-2-

5). Specific procedures are set forth with respect to coin operated devices, tickets and cash registers.

6). Inspections and shoppers' audits are provided for. Concessionaires are to reimburse the Fair Corporation for merchandise purchased on shoppers' audits upon return of the merchandise in saleable condition.

'7). Services rendered to the concessionaire by Pinkerton's are to be at the concessionaire's expense.

I recommend that you request the Executive Committee to authorize the President to approve a !'evision to PQ.rt 5 of the Special Regulations in general accordance with this memorandum, such regulations to be effective upon your approval.

MEMORANDUM TO GEORGE E. SPARGO

FROM JOHN T. O'NEILL

SUBJECT: Progress Report on Arterial Highway Construction in the ___________ V~ic_i_nl~·t.y_o~f~t~heWor.~ld~'~s~F~·a~ir~----------

Approximately six months rerr::ain in this construction season. With the exception of the Clearview Expressway (Contract No. 17) which should be substantially completed by August, all other contracts are scheduled for completion in the late fall and early winter. None of these contracts has any cushion for snafus or lethargic supervision - the pressure must be continuous from now to completion.

In addition there are four critical contracts at this time that require a substantial increase in work effort and improvement in progress if the areas are going to be ready for the opening of the Fair. They are: Contract No. 2...~, Grand Central Parkway - Merritt-Mt. Vernon); Contrads Nos. 10 and ;ill.J 69th Road - {Hendrick§Qtl Bros. -Arthur Johnson Corp. ); and Contract No. 16..~. Whitestone Expres::;way - (Tully & DiNapoli).

Contract No. _b Grand Central Parkway - (Merritt-Mt. Vernon). Some improvement in progress has been made. However, the contractor must more than double his average monthly work placement rate within the next two months. Weef'Jy meetings are being held by the State with the Supervising Engineers and the contractor in an effort to improve progress.

Work on the Roosevelt Avenue elevated structure is about ten days ahead of the schedule developed by the consulting engineer.

The new Long Island E:A'Pres~;way bridge is approximately four months behind schedule and is the most critical item of work at this time. Traffic has been diverted to the Westbound collector-ui.stributor road, and demolition of the old bridge can be started. The Eastbound collector-distributor road has been further delayed and will not be ready for traffic for about a week.

The Fair's bridge over the Long Island Expressway has been further delayed approximately six weeks due to steel fabrication and erection difficulties. These corrections are minor and should be made immediately. The contractor estimates that the bridge can be completed in a month after the steel is accepted. The Fair expected this bridge in January 1963.

-2-

Contracts Nos. 3 and 5,_ Grand ~entral Parkway- (Tully & DiNapolil are still a month late in diverting traffic to the service roads. This is delaying an already tight schedule for repaving the Grand Central Parkway.

Contract No. 6, Grand Central Parkway- (DeLillo) should complete the parkway substantially on schedule. However, the work on the local streets has been dragged out about eight months longer than anticipated and has caused the public unnecessary inconveniences and hazardous conditions. The State has been requested to impose the contract penalties for unsatisfactory traffic maintenance.

Contracts Nos. 10 and 13 1 69th Road Bridge over VanWyck Expressway- (Hendrickson Bros. -Arthur Johnson Corp.). This area is both complex and critical. Due to delays on Contract No. 10 (Hendrid:son Broso ) it now appears that this bridge will not be completed until February 1964 or later and will probably entail additional costs. Unless there is a major increase in work effort now the opening of the VanWyck Expressway may be seriously delayed.

Contract No. 11, .Long Island Expressway Interchange - (Johnson7

Drake & Piper) has completed pile driving for the viaducts and can be expected to further improve progress. The contractor intends to increase the work effort which should permit completion within a reasonable time of scheduled completion.

Contra~t No. 15, Flushing Riyer Eridqe - (Ottavjano) has made very good progress and will open the new Flushing River Bridge to traffic on June 4, 1963. Demolition of the old bridge has started. The schedule for the rebuilding of the old bridge is very tight. However, if the contractor continues his accelerated work effort the reconstruction should be completed before winter.

Contract.No. 16, Whitestone E!£Pressway - (Tully & DiNapoli). Increased work effort and a material improvement in prog·ress is badly needed on this job, The arrangements for the opening of the Flushing River Bridge have not been completed and may require overtime. Fabrication difficulties have delayed delivery of the steel for the 20th Avenue bridge for over three weeks. The opening on the 14th Avenue bridge is about a week late.

Contract No. 17, Clearview Expresswav- (Grow-Catapano-Orlando) has been lagging this spring. This job could have the dictinction of opening for traffic within the contract completion time, It appears that the expressway could be opened to traffic about July 1st. An opening date should be set accordingly.

You will recall that at the Executive Committee meeting of March 28, 1963 a Committee consisting of Mr. Spargo, Mr. Preusse and the President, ex officio, was appointed to prepare recommendations for the Executive Committee concerning the policies to be adopted on the issuance of passes.

sua.JECT: Terrace Club

To facilitate the obtaining of a retail, on premises liquor license with respect to the Terrace Club, it will be desirable for the Fair Corporation to certify to the State Liquor Authority that the Club premises has· been "designated as an authorized facility of the New York World's Fair 1964-1965 Corporation".

We believe that such 11designation11 could appropriately be accomplished by means of an Executive Committee resolution in the following form:

"RESOLVED, that the premises conducted at the Port of New York Authority's building at the Fair site by Top of the Fair, Inc. as a restaurant, including the part of such premises devoted to the private club presently lmown as the Terrace Club, is hereby designated as an authorized facility of the New York World's Fair 1964-1965 Corporation, and the President is hereby authorized to make arrangements to certify to the New York State Liquor Authority that said premises has been so designated. "

If you approve, we recommend that the above resolution be submitted to the Executive Committee for adoption.

suEJJEcT: Vatican Exhibit

The Vatican has requested that it be granted an exclusive on the sale of Catholic religious articles. Counsel advises me that to effectuate this exclusive, there should be added to Article XI (d), the article which forbids the sale of certain items without specific written permission, the words "religious articles". Counsel recommends that the reference be to "reJigi.ous articles" rather than "Catholic religious articles" since it is possible that other religiou..c:; groups may ask for some smh pr·.~tection.

I recommend that you request t~l-J.e Executive Committee to authorize you to approve a revision to Article XI (d) of the General Regulations. in general accordance with this memo. Such revision to be effective upon your approval.

LEASES ~ER ACTIVE NEGOT;r.ATION

We have given this project the highcst"priority and we are meeting on almost a daily basis with prospective participants such as I.T. & T, United Aircraft, Humble Oil etc.

Although we had some early disappointments (G. E., r .• B.M. etc.) we have every confidence that the Hall of Science will be filled with outstanding exhibits. We are pleased to report that Martin .. Harrietta has made a firm committrnent to provide exhibits .for the entire upper floor.

Because of the importance and urgency of t:his project I will continue to report separately on it.

Sixteen months ago we presented Eastern with a det~J Hed study showing them how they could t:i.e in their "air-shuttle" service with a unique building at the Fair. We have been workJ.ng on proposal ever since, and it now appears that: our effons have finally met with success.

Under this plan, which they have adopted without change, Eastern would provide a major promotional campaign to have their air-shuttle passengers travel directly to the World Fair without first stopping in a downtown hotel At the Fair, Eastern will construct a combination exhibit and terminal building to handle the substantial traffic that they expect to generate.

Last week we met with Mr. George Smith, Vice President and reached agreement on terms which were subsequently approved by Hessrs. Witt and Goo· stable. Mr, Thornton 1 s staff is now preparing the lease document.

On Apri.l 16, to the astonishment of all of the Socony people working on the fair, their Executive Gonunittee voted down a staff proposal to erect an exhibit building at the Fair.

However, we have persuaded them to take another look and we are pleased to report that the project now looks even more promising than before. A final, and affirmative, decision is expected shortly

Stroller Concession

- 3 - Mily 27, 1963

Despite all our efforts, it now appears Messrs. Briggs and Crane (Marinas of the Future, Inc.) will not be able to put together the Marine Center. they will, of course, go forward with the Flushing Bay lola rina.

We have therefore, requested Mr. thornton to take whatever legal steps are necessary to terminate the Marine Center option now held by Marinas of the .Future. This will have the effect of increasing their rent on the Flushing Bay Marina by $25,000 and will require them to pay the Fair a percentage of their gross revenue.

We have been anticipating tlus move for some time. Therefore, in conjunction with Mr. Constable's office we have taken steps t•.l :--r~pJace tlw Hm:i.ne C(·~'ter with the Antique Auto Cuvalcade de:;:.:< :i.bcd below.

This project is a thoroughly proven and highly successful concession which permits both adults and chilclr,~n to reU.ve the exciting days of the· Stanley Staamer and the Stutz Bearcat. As far as we can determine, it is the best of all the paid admission automobile rides. Looking hack as it does to the auto at the turn of the century, it should provide a refreshing contrast to the futuristic picture of the industry that will be provided by Ford, General Motors and Chrysler,

The Antique Auto Cavalcade will occupy 50,000 square feet across from Ford. The terms of this agreement have been approved by Mr. Witt and Mr. Constable and a lease document is now being prepared by Mr. Thornton.

All of the remaining questions on this project have been :resolved. The Fair's legal staff is nm~ putting the lease into final form and a signing is expected monentarily.

Mr. Constable's office is in the final stages of negotiations with Alfa Rentals, Inc., for the operation of stroller rental concessions in both the Transportation and Industrial Sections of the

sUBJECT: PROPOSED LICENSE FOR WORLD'S FAIR APPAREL

Considerable interest has been shown by a number of companies in various World's Fair apparel items for men, women and children. However, because of the display problems and the considerable space required to stock a variety of sizes, only a limited number of such apparel items could be sold at the Brass Rail stands on the Fair site. TtE World's Fair motif could be used as the basis for an effective national merchandise campaign provided it were backed up by appropriate advertising and promotion. In view of these limitations, there is a very limited number of companies who could do justice to a grant in this area while meeting the standards we have estallllshed ior the licensing program.

Media Enterprises interviewed representatives of 25 companies only 4 of which made proposals.

Jane Ellen Blouse and Sportswear, Inc., New York City, offered $10; 000 advance against 5% royalty for ladies' and girls' blouses.

Philip Rothenberg & Co. Inc. , New York City, offers no firm advance against a 10% royalty for woolen sport and dress shirts for men and boys.

Simon and Mogelner, Birmingham, Alabama, offers no advance against a 5% royalty for a full line of children's apparel items.

Reliance Manufacturing Company, New York City, offered a guaranteed minimum royalty of $75,000., $37, 500 to be paid upon signing and $371 500 to be paid one year later.

The products covered and royalties involved are as follows:

Reliance requests that, subject to the Fair's approval, and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the basic licensing agreement, it be accorded the right to sublicense companies to produce products in the Reliance grant as listed above with the Fair and Reliance sharing equally any royalty payments in excess of the specified royalty percentages that are Reliance's obligation to pay under its agreement.

Reliance has some 19 subsidiaries in the clothing field under its control and grosses in excess of $110,0001 000. in sales annually. Reliance is undoubtedly one of the leading diversified operations in the apparel field and believes, with its extensive background in merchandising techniques, it could do full justice to a license grant on the basis of national advertising and promotional campaigns. Its guarantee of $7 5, 000 is far in excess of the offers that could be obtained from the grant of a number of licenses in the apparel field. The volume potential of the multi-million dollar sales organization in the Reliance complex of companies will in Media's opinion bring total royalty returns well beyond those to be earned by smaller companies which offer a higher percentage royalty.

The Reliance Manuiact.uring Company employs union personnel. Furthermore, Reliu.nce is at present negotiating for 29, 000 sq. ft. of exhibit space in the Industrial Area.

MEMORANDUM


TO: MR. MOSES DATE: June 3, 1963

FROM, Stuart Constable

suBJECT: General Indicator Company Proposal · Re Electronic Information Boards

My memorandum of May 24, 1963 on which you endorsed approval, described the proposal of the above company (GIC) to install and maintain approximately 18 electronically operated bulletin boards at the Fair site provided that GIC is able to obtain financial sponsorship for such activity.

The basic elements of the proposal are as follows:

1. GIC will have until August 1, 1963 to arrange sponsorship, the agreement with the sponsor to be subject to the Fair Corporation's approval.

2. Any sponsor other than a participant in the Fair will be subject to the Fair Corporation's approval.

3. The Fair Corporation will not make any rental charge. Except for the cost of electricity and insurance coverage and the cost of operation, which will be borne by the Fair Coxp oration, GIC will bear all costs of design, construction, maintenance and removal of the boards after the close of the Fair.

4. The Fair Corporation will receive a percentage of the difference between the amount paid to GIC by the sponsor and the "costs" incurred by GIC. These costs include $1,800,000 as the price for the basic equipment, any New York City Sales Taxes applicable, and the costs of the framework, supports, installation, maintenance and removal. To costs other than the $1,800,000 and sales taxes, there will be added 15% for GIC's overhead and 10% as profit to GIC.

5. The Fair Corporation's percentage of the abovementioned difference will be ten per cent (10%) if the sponsor is a participant in the Fair, twenty per cent (20%) if the sponsor is not a participant but does not compete commercially with a participant, and thirty per cent (30%) if the sponsor is not a participant but does compete commercially with one.

contd.

MR. MOSES -2- June 3, 1963

6. The sponsor may have advertis:ing on the bulletin boards. · This will be subject to the Fair Corporation's approval.

7. The Fair Corporation will control the operation of the system and the contents of the information.

The substance of the proposal has been approved by Mr. Witt and JMr. Stone. If the plan does not succeed, we will still have ample time to provide boards at our own cost. The principal benefit of the proposal to us is that, if GIC's plan to obtain sponsorship succeeds, we will be relieved of the cost of providing our own information boards. Letter agreements embodying it are being negotiated. ·

I recommend that you request the Executive Committee to authorize the President to negotiate and execute letter agreements with GIC in general accordance with the proposal as described above.

Dear Bob

Since our Executive Committee will meet jointly with the Finance Committee on June 7, you might like to have my reactions to the advance ticket sales outlook.

He have had a good e.::perience with many of' the top potential buyers and this leads me to be optimistic about the eventual successf'ul outcome of this campaign.

Our salesmen have had hardly any flat turndowns from those solicited. However, it is fairly obvious that the cash will not be forthcoming in a really big volume until later in the year. Most businessmen find it hard to justify putting a large sum of cash into "cold storage" at this time when they could keep the money working for the next few months and purchase their tickets for Cnristmas gifts or just prior to the February 29 deadline.

Nevertheless, we feel it is important to contact as many companies as possible now and be ready to nandle the big rush when it comes. As you know, the campaign already has produced substantial sales and continues upward every day. The Cl1ristmas gift campaign should produce substantial sales at the time Erwin Witt informs me we will need t!1e money.

\'le have been wor•king closely with Erwin on this special gift package wnich looks very promising. Tr·1e banks have been most cooperatlve and we look i'or a big sale there. The exnibitors, independent packagers and transportation groups - like A;nerican Airlines, the Long Island Railroad, and others - ::.ool·;. good. On the other hand, the department stores and some other outlets are proving a lit.tle disappointing.

our' ticket sales staff i1as tried to make a conservative estimate by groups of the potential sales quotas.

..._. Mr. Robert !'wloses -- Page Two

My expectation is that we will exceed the overall goal. Nevertheless, based on the 10-million advance ticket objective, at the present time this is what we think we may be able to achieve:

Estimate of Categol"'J~ Advance Ticket Sales

Banks and Financial Institutions 2, 000,000

Exhibitors 2,500,000

Gift Package, including Cbristmas Package 2)000.000

Travel Agencies and Transportation Carriers including Tour "Packagel,s" 1, 500,000

Non-Exhibitor Corporations 300,000

Retail and Department Stores 250,000

Unions, Schools, Clubs and Associations 500,000

Church Groups 200,000

Fair ''Special Event" Groups 300,000

r.11scellaneous (including premiums and point of sale packages, windoN sales, miscellaneous groups, shopping centers, otner unidentified purchasers)

200,000

10,000,000 tickets

Do you want me t,~ 1·,~port along these lines to the .i oj.nt meeting?

SUi3JECT: Amendment to Regulations concerning Name of Lake Area and Other Minor Changes

You referred to me Judge Rosenman's letter of May 17, 1963 to you suggesting that the Lake Area be hereafter referred to as the "Lake Amusement Area" in order to emphasize the fact that the Lake Area will be devoted almost exclusively to amusements and to help make clear that there will be substantial numbers of amusements at the Fair. You requested me to put thi.s change in the works.

The only Executive Committee action I see to be taken is to change Article VI on the first pa.g0 of the General Regulations, where the areas of the Fair are set forth, to provi.de that they shall be "Federal and States, International, Industrial, Transportation and Lake Amusement" (underling supplied). Pending such action at the June 7th meeting I suggest that Miss Haig notify the various executives and consultants of the Fair that such change is contemplated so that they can begin working it into new publications and releases.

Inasmuch a:s this Regulation cha..l"lge will require reprinting the first page of the Regulations, we suggest at the same time making certain other minor changes on the same page to update it, to wit, specifying the actual opening and closing dates of the Fair in each year (the present Regulations simply say they will be hereafter announced) and setting forth the titles of the officers and other chief administrative officials as they presently exist (the Regulations at the moment still use, for example, the old title "Vice President-Industrial, Federal, State and Special"Exhibits which Mr. Panuch held).

If you approve, we suggest you ~·~.Quest the Executive Committee to authorize the President to approve a revision to the first page of the General R:gllations (p. G-1) in general accordance with this memorandum, such regulations to be effective upon your approval.

Black Nativitz - Mr. George Murran, of Transworld Artists Nanagement, Ltd. has been in to see us. He is interested in taking 46 1 000 square feet for the construction of a theatre for the presentation of the Black Natj.vity, Negro spirituals and individual Negro artists. Since we have not received a formal proposal, no authorization is :reques·t;ed at this time.

SUBJECT: LAKE AREA STATUS REPORT PAGE 3

7. Teen-age Center - Mr. Thomas J. Lupo 1 ot New Orleans, has expressed interest i.n taking upwards or 100,000 square feet in the Lake Area for the construction of a teen-age center and amusement complex. Again, no formal proposal has been rec.:::::.ved.

8. Availability of Space - As shown above, we have strong indications of interest from a n~~ber or people whose need for space will exceed the availability or space in the Lake Area. He have every reason to believe, therefore, that agreements for the balance of the space in the Lake Area Will be signed before the end of: .~·r.:·~.e, subject, or course, to approval by the Executive C0 ... -mittee.

We need an immediate decision re.;~ard1n·J U1e type of assembly pavilion which we will build to roplaca lhe one '-'';~:c::-~ ,:~;.; City was to have included in the $24 mUl!on. A vJido vari.ety of. proposals have been submitted from various sources. I hJ.vo gone over the results with Gil Clarke and rzom Farrell and members vi the staff. The cheapest proposal 1s, of co11rse, a R1nglin<J·type tent as originally suggestedg but ~t would be unattracUve, hot·and noisy. Several other proposals are attractive but we are not sure Uley would be safe. We believe that the best deal is a geodesic dome along lines submitted to us by Synergetics Inc. and estimated by a good contractor. The .dome and its foundation can be built for about $380, 000. I have discussed this with Stuart Constable and he agrees.

In addiUon to the dome itself, there will need to be seats, stage and dressing rooms and lighting for television broadcasts, which would be substantially tlle same for any type of structure.

·These will probably cost about $400, 000. additional.

1 recommend that you approve my ne<JotlaUng ~"1 agreement with Synerget1cs to design this structure, in collaboration with an architect, probably Eggers & HigginS, for the work inside the shell and general architectural arra.1gements. Egqers & Hiqgins are interested in this proposal and have about finished the plans for the assembly area which they have been workinq up for us.

suBJEcT: Design and World's Fair Construction

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

Designs have been finalized c:..·•.d bids solicited for five contract items. Bids for all will be received by 5 June, as follows:

A) The assembly area stadium B) Flushing Airport parking field C) Amphitheatre rehabilitation D) P. A. System, 2nd stage E) Display planting

Although considerable progress is being made in design, there is a total of 23 Park Department and World's Fair construction items, totaling $7, 000,000. which have not yet reached the stage of soliciting bids. The largest item, miscellaneous lighting throughout the Fair, will be submitted for approval within the next few days. All other items will be finished prior to opening day. The most critical design problem is the Assembly Pavilion, which is being reported on as a separate agenda item.

Including both Park Department and World's Fair work, we have approximately $13, 600, 000. in conLracts which are largely completed. $23, 000, 000. in contracts are actively underway, made up of $15,000,000. in Park Department contracts and $8,000, 000. in World's Fair contracts.

In the Lake Area, plans for the Monorail foundations are being developed and layout is underway. ~'v~ajor exhibitors arc.~ advanced in construction in this area. A satisfactory scnedule has been worked out to avoid interferences between the many working contractors in the area. A special study is being made of provision of temporary electric service lo help out exhibitor construction, since the permanent World's Fair service fo::c this area will not be operable for several months.

The five maintenance buildings are essentially complete except for the provisions of electric service under other contracts. The principal maintenance building is occupied under a temporary certificate of occupancy. Construction continues normally on other World's Fair contracts.
