SUB,'!':CT: RENTAL OF CASH REGISTERS AND REVISION OF REVENUE CONTROL REGULATIONS.

In order to facilitate proper accounting for revenues derived by concessionaires, it will be desirable in most instances that concessionaires subject to the Fair Corporation's Revenue Control Regulations be required to utilize certain specially designed cash register equipment.

We have had discussions with National Cash Register Company (NCR), an exhibitor at the Fair. NCR is willing to supply cash registers ·11hich will be equipped with special features designed to facilitate review and verification by the Fair Corporation of the revenues of concessionaires.

An agreement has been worked out with NCR whereby NCR will lease all required cash registers to the Fair Corporation and will bill the Corporation. The Fair Corporation, in turn, will lease the cash regiSters to concessionaires and will bill the concessionaires therefor. Rentals received from concessionaires will be remitted to NCR by the Fair Corporation less a 1~ fee to cover the Fair Corporation's accounting and billing expenses.

For a concessionaire operating during both sessions of the Fair, the rental price will be 72% of NCR's list price for the machine. Users of the machines will have the option to purchase them from NCR. Any machines not purchased will be turned over to NCR at the close of the Fair.

We estimate that the total rental amount to be billed to the Fair Corporation by NCR for machines used by concessionaires will be approximately $340, 000. The Fair Corporation, however, will have no liability to NCR for such rentals unless and until it receives these amounts from concessionaires. The Fair Corporation's 10% fee computed upon total NCR billings of $340,000 would equal $34,000 which should adequately cover such administrative expenses as the Fair Corporation will incur.

The proposed agreement has been approved as to form by Counsel, and has been cleared with Mr. Constable. I believe that this agreement will be advantageous to the Fair Corporation in facilit':" ating effective revenue control, ~d I recommend your approval.

In order to clarify the Fair Corporation's rights to require concessionaires to lease this specially constructed NCR equipment from the Fair Corporation, I recommend that the Fair Corporation's Revenue Control Requlations be amended by inserting, after the second sentence of the second paragraph of Article 1 of part 5 of the Fair Corporation's Special Regulations, the following:

"If use of cash registers ·rJy concessionaires is required by the Comptroller, the cash registers to be used will be prescribed by tha Comptroller and will be rented from the Fair Corporation. "

This proposed amendment has been approved as to form by Counsel and has been cleared with Mr. Constable. I recommend your approval and request that the amendment be submitted to the Executive Committee for adoption. • _ ~·

NEW YORK WORLD'S FAIR 1964 ·1965,,Crrf'ORATION

, COMMISSIONER MOSES DATE< J~~ ERWm WITT u ,t{\ PROM:

•u•JEcT: ADVANCE TICKET SALE PROGRAM. / \

\\ The folloWing are the reasons why I recommend that o

program should be retained:

1. A prime purpose of this advance sale is to obtain sufficient additional cash to meet pre-opening costs. Without the sale.of advance tickets we will have sufficient cash to carry us safely only through the first half of 1963. Our estimates of receipts for 1963 include $2, 500,000 from advance sale of tickets and slightly more than $5,000,000 from the sale of Notes. Any· substantial amount of ticket sales in excess of $2,500, 000 would provide a cushion against any failure to realize the full Note sale or receipts from site rentals. Without this cushion the margin of receipts against operating costs would be so little that a shortage in the sale of the full $5,000,000 of Notes would jeopardize our financial position.

2. Advance sale of tickets have already been announced at the discount prices approved by the Executive Committee in the minutes of November 16, 1961. The advance sale program was referred to in Progress Report No. 6 and was· published in the Chicaqo Daily News under Travel Information. About 40,000 order blanks based on the program have been distributed. Exhibitors, travel and transportation agencies, hotels, banks and department stores have been apprised of the program and the discount prices.

We have cash and orders on hand for over 80, 000 tickets on the discount basis and verbal commitments for about 150,000 more. In addition some of the exhibitors and other potential mass purchasers approached have promised to give us their answer on the amount of advance purchases shortly.

3. Apart from the revenue, the principal purpose of the advance sale of tickets is to get as many people over as widespread a ge0c;raphic area as possible to take an active interest in the Fair, A ticket holder becomes a ch11i:onpion of the Fair and his word of mouth advertising can be very effective in interesting others. This interest can become quite contagious and its effect is cumulative. Much of the success of the Seattle Fair can be attributed to the advance sale of tickets.

FROM:

SUBJECT: page 2- ADVANCE TICKET SALE PROGRAM

4. Without a substantial discount there is no incentive to purchasers to buy t'.ckets in advance. With a discount we should have a substantial advance sale. For example, the 1939-1940 World's Fair had an advance sale of 6, 000,000 tickets and the Beattie Fair of 1962 sold 4, 000,000 tickets in advance, at varying discount prices.

5. The discount encourages promotion programs which on an aggregate basis should sell a large volume of tickets. These promotion programs take time to get under way and, therefore, appreciate as early a start as possible. The sales are cumulative. For instance Travelers Insurance will probably only purchase 15,000 to 20,000 tickets for its own use but it is initiating a program whereby its 50,000 or more insurance agents will distribute tickets over the entire country. Many conventions are making their arrangements now for 1964.

6. Some exhibitors intend purchasing tickets at discounts in advance to pass along the savings to employees as an inducement to attend the Fair.

7. It is customary in gift and prize progr.j .. ns to quote the prizes or gifts at list prices even though they are purchased at wholesale prices. The discount brings our tickets in this category.

8. Travel agencies look to the discounts to compensate them for advertising and encouraging trips to the Fair. The Seattle Fair stopped its discounts to the travel and transportation agencies on March 15, 1962. The agencies were dis-

. satisfied and many of them stopped pushing and advertising trips to the fair. Since the fair was only run 1 year and most of the arrangements had been made in advance it suffered some loss, but not appreciable. The New York Fair will operate for 2 years and it would have a distinct affect on the attendance generated by travel and transportation agencies in the year 1965 if we discontinued the discount t~ them on February 29, 1964.

INDUSTRIAL SECTION

PROGRESS REPORT (as of January 16, 1963)

I. Since our last Progress Report of December 10, 1962, we have received signed leases from the following companies:

{A) WESTINGHOUSE ELECTRIC COlVIP.ANY 22, 000 sq. ft., Block 41, Lot 3, in the Federal and States Section. {The site of the 1939 Westinghouse Time Capsule.)

(B) RADIO CORPORATION OF .AMERICA 30, 002 sq. ft. , Block 16, Lot 3, for a color TV studio exhibit.

II. Lease negotiations are in progress among the following companies:

(A) .AGRICULTURE USA. The Seattle group (Intercontinental Cuisine) is now negotiating a lease for 42,800 sq. ft. in Block 15, adjacent to the World of Food. They plan a County Fair-type exhibit and will give 1001> of their building, without charge, to the U.s. Department of Agriculture. This space is in addition to their restaurant concession in the Transportation Section. There are :firm restrictions in the lease limiting selling to 10% of the space, approval of design and absolute control over types of exhibitors which are intended to be in the agricultural area heretofore not solicited by the Fair. .A grour.dbreaking on .Apri11, and construction to commence 30 days thereafter, has also been made of the essence of the lease.

(B) BROWN AND WILLIAMSON Mr. Lyttle of the Fair's legal department conferred on lease terms in Kentucky on January 11, 1963. In their request for Block 21, Lot 1 (approximately 171 000 sq. ft), a few points remain to be negotiated.

(C) PARKER PEN is in the lease negotiation phase and have been conferring with the World's Fair legal department. Parker Pen has selected approximately 16,000 sq. ft. on Block 11, Lot 14.

m. Favorable progress can be reported in the following situations: (A) .AMERICAN MACHINE & FOUNDRY A meeting with Carter Burgess,

President of AMF, resulted in the first definite interest on AMF's part in exploring sponsorship of a substantial exhibit. Under consideration is the .Assembly .Area (140, 000 sq. ft.) which would be designated as the .AMF Bowl, together with exhibit space in the immediate area. They will be visiting the Fair this week to discuss details.

(B) ARGUS .A meeting with the President of this Company indicates substantial interest in a site of 132,000 sq. ft. on Block 9. Concepts are being drawn for an Argus Photo Fun Land which, hopefully, will be ready for presentation at the Executive Committee meeting. .Argus' Directors meet 1/29/63.

INDUSTRIAL SECTION


m. (C) ELGIN NATIONAL WATCH CO:tv.rPANY Negotiations have been reopened with this company under a new concept to accommodate previous objections of excessive cost. The space adjacent to RCA {in Block 15), covering approximately 10, 000 sq. ft. , is under consideration.

(D) GENERAL MILLS This company is evaluating participation~ They have interviewed contractors, a design consultant, and have asked for a first refusal on a site of 30, 000 sq. ft., Block 18, Lot 2. They are concerned only with the cost factor. Plans for a $1,250,000 exhioit have now been converted to a $2, 000,000 to $2, 500, 000 proposal submitted by Lippincott & :Margulies, the designers of the Johnson's Wa:x building who are consultants to General Mills. General Rawlings, President of General Mills, had approved the $1,250,000 appropriation but is now concerned by the doubling of his buctg·et.

(E) LADIES HOME JOURNAL This division of the Curtis Publishing Company continues to consider a model home at the New York World's Fair. They have selected a site adjacent to the Pool of Industry, Block 11, Lot 14. They have been sent lease forms.

{F) MELVILLE SHOE CORP. This company has considered many proposals for participation at the Fair. Last week we presented a concept which received favorable reaction at the marketing level, and we have been invited to pursue its progress January 16th.

(G) REVLON Through the good offices of Mrs. Dorothy Lewis, Mrs. Sidney Boyd and :rvirs. :rvrary Jane McCaffree, we have proposed to this company a new approach to exhibit participation. Our past negotiations were with Mr. Charles Revson, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. Our new approach is with Mr. George Murphy, newly-elected President, and 1\t1r. Hodupp, Vice President in Charge of Marketing.

(H) VENDO There is renewed interest by this company in a fully automated restaurant exhibit. They have retained Benton & Bowles as public relations counsel to assist them in selecting a site and in developing plans. An answer is expected February 1, 1963.

INDUSTRIAL SECTION


rv. Disappointing news must be reported from the following companies:

(A) MINNEAPOLIS-HONEYWELL REGULATOR CO. The Board of Directors after a full hearing has formally and finally turned down participation. After commissioning a designer to produce a. modest exhibit on a small site (10, 000 sq. ft.) the Board decided it would prefer to be absent rather than be inconspicuous and the decision was not forthcoming to spend monies for an important building.

(B) SPERRY RAND {UNIVAC DIVISION) The concept proposed by the Marketing Section of this Company - and enthusiastically received by all sections - is now being estimated, after study, at a $10" to $11 million figure. Hope, therefore, seems to have been abandoned unless we can convert to an inexpensive expenditure.

V. Developments since the last Progress Report among the Multiple Exhibitors include:

(A) BETTER LIVING continues to search frantically for financial support for its building. I have met with several concerns to discuss their interest> supported Burdick's record of integrity but in no way involved the Fair in negotiations.

(B) gRAPHIC ARTS' lease has been terminated, although they continue to request reinstatement.

(C) HALL OF EDUCATION was sent a letter of default on January 4, 1963.

(D) HOUSE OF GOOD TASTE has agreed upon a revised a.nd realistic construction schedule acceptable to General Whipple and Erwin Witt.

(E) PROJECT '64 - owed a payment of $90, 000 on December 28, 1962. This money was not received and in a letter dated January 3, 19 63 they were placed on notice that their lease ha:s been terminated.

lliDUSTRIAL SECTION


V. (F) WORLD OF FOOD has agreed to a revised payment and construction sc}?.edule agreeable to all departments. Several problems still remain concerning construction of terms of the lease, but in any event we have established a firm schedule.

VI. Special Projects include:

(A) AMERICAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION A presentation to the Pharmaceutical Companies by the Board of the AMA for a $3,000,000 to $4,000,000 exhibit is scheduled for this week . .A"M.A has insisted they wish to make their own presentation and politely, but firmly, refused outside assistance.

(B) ART MUSEUM Mr. Charles Spalding and his group were turned down by their first prospect (American Motors). Spalding's current prospect is P. Ballantine & Son. An answer is expected this week.

(C) HALL OF PRESIDENTS IN THE U.S. PAVILION A meeting is scheduled with Walt Disney and Mr. Winston to seek possible means of incorporating this attraction in the U.S. Pavilion or, in the alternative, private financing by venture capital.

(D) PAN AMERICAN HIGHWAY A presentation was made to Mr. Wolf Greeven, a director of Standard Oil Co. (N.J.) on December 20, 1962. On January 10, 1963 this company reported that the idea made sense to them. They are going into the matter more fully and will present a recommendation to the President, Mr. Rathbone, upon his return from a trip abroad sometime this week.

(E) PRE-COLUMBIAN ART TREASURES Mr. Paul Tishman is interested in spearheading the financing of an exhibit probably to be located in the International Section, involving a 259 admission charge against an estimated attendance of 5, 000,000. We are conferring with Mr. Tishman to assist the venture.

CO..VTOa Messrs. Constable, Thornton, Witt

The Sinclair Oil Corporation presently le ses an area of 15,152 square feet. I have been negotiating with Sinclair for an increase of their site of 18 feet in width along the Grand Central P~rkway diuension. This would amount to an additional area of slightly less than 2,000 square feet for which they would pay a rental of $16,000, over and above their present rent~l of $121,216.

I suggested that they take an equivalent area behind their present site (approximately li,OOO square feet) and extenc the landscaping of their· Pre-Historic Garden into this area. This would be done with no additional rental ·payment but they would be responsible for all landscaping, maintenance, testoration and exhibits would be restricted to outdoor exhibits of a limited number.

It is my recommendation that .we amend the Sinclair lease in accordance with the above mentioned terms. I make this recommendation because I believe this area will not be rented and will, therefore, bee~ an area of liability and expense to us. This will relieve us of the landscaping and maintenance costs and will improve the Sinclair exhibit. I have cleared this with Messrs. Constable, Witt and Thornton~ who agree with thts approach.

The President of Sinclair· has approved their additional expense, subject to your approval of a lease supplement • .

Sinclair will assqme the substantial expense of landscaping and maintaining the area and will pay an additional $16,000. in rent.

On December 19, 1962 Mobile Care signed its lease for 10 9000 sq. ft. in the Transportation Section. We understand from Mr. Constable's office that the Fair Corporation will execute this lease as soon as it is approved by Greyhound. The Greyhound approval is antici· pated at their Board Meeting of January 24, 1963.

Century Grill has submitted a prelUninary site plan which would require an increase of 3,350 sq. ft. in.their leased area (from 11,001 to 14,351 sq. ft.). This plan was approved by the Conformity Committee on December 27~ 1962. Accordingly~ an appropriat lease amendment has been forwarded to the · lessee. The amendment will result in an Unmediate additional rent payment of $6,700.

On January 14, 1963 I met with the President and the top executive staff of the Outboard Marine Corporation. They evinced a strong interest in the Fair and advised that they will submit the project to their Board of Directors on January 18~ 1963, I am quite certain that they will play a major role in the Marine Center.

We have transmitted a lease draft to Autorama and will shortly meet to iron out a number of questions concerning actual operating details. A lease signing is expected early in February.

The lease has been transmitted to the proprietors of The Great Book and we anticiw pate a lease signing in late January.

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 1 Inc. and another from a syndicate headed by Mr. Rubie who is the largest stockholder in The Hertz Rent-ACar Corporation, Mr. Constable's office is evaluating these proposals,

Eastern's management is still reviewing a proposal we made to them quite sametUne ago. We expect a decision soon.

In conjunction with Mr. Constable's office an agreement had been reached to lease 15,052 sq. ft. for an unusual restaurant. The agreement calls 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, we were advised to defer all action until Mr. Stone had settled his negotiations with this client for a large area in the Industrial Section. Since we understand that this matter has ncn-t been satisfactorily resolvedp we will proceed with this concessionaire.

We are continuing to pursue this project although the construction and operating costs make it appear somewhat doubtful at this point.

The 16 columns for the Tent of Tomorrow have been completed. Work is expected to start on the observation towers before the end of January.

Progress on this exhibit has been delayed du.e to the crisis in the citrus industry. The architect is proceeding with the plans and a representative visited the Fair on January ll, 1963 to obtain further information.

The contracts have been awarded for all phases of the work and construction will be under way before the end of January. Governor Hu.qhes will come to the Fair for a qroundbrealdng as soon as the newspaper strike ends.

George Murphy has expressed an interest in developinq a joint state-entertamment exhibit in the Lake Area. The Fair's report on a proposed California Pa vllion has been submitted to Governor Brown.

On January 11th, the Real Estate Committee of the Bank approved its taking an additional 4500 square feet in the Service Area at $8. 00 per square foot for the two-year perioci

This will be the site for an additional branch of the Bank. The building will cover the entire plot. The Bank made this decision when it was assured by the Fair Corporation that no other commercial bank would operate on the Fair Grounds. There will be, therefore, two banking offices on the grounds both operated by First National City Bank.

suBJICTa RESCISSION OF AUTHORIZA'JlON - POST OFFICE BUILDING

It was the sense of the Executive Committee at the meeting on December 20, 1962, "that the Fair Corporation should provide a post office building on the Fair grounds, on the minimum cost basis acceptable to the postal authorities" ..

As recently as December 13, 1962 the officials of the Post Office Department in Washington informed Bourne Upham that the Department would require 4, 000 square feet of inside space for a branch post office.

On January 11th, we received a letter from James F. Kelleher, Special Assistant to the Postmaster General, stating that the Department would require from 12, 000 to 18, 000 square feet of air-conditioned space for a modern post office buildinq. The cost of such a building would be in the neighborhood of $240, 000 to $360, 000.

We, therefore, recommend rescission of the Executive Committee's authorization to provide a Post Office Building, unless, prior lo the Executive Committee meeting, Mr. Preusse is able to work out a solu-. tion to tllis matter acceptable to the .Fair Corporation and the Post Office Department.

You will recall that, at the last Executive Committee meeting, it was determined, on Gov. Poletti's recommendation, to go ahead with the Von Roll cable ride without seeking easements from the approximately 10 foreign exhibitors whose premises will be crossed at varying heights.

It is proposed, in the cable ride agreement, to, in substance, grant Von Roll the right to cross the premises of these exhibitors, put his foundations and supports in some of such premises, and to grant him the right to enter such premises for purposes of construction, maintenance and repair of the ride. Gov. Poletti intends simply to notify the exhibitors after the cable ride agreement has been signed.

As we have previously pointed out, this procedure is not without substantial legal risk should an exhibitor decide to stand on his rights. Nonetheless, since it is to be pursued, we believe the legal situation can be improved s9mewhat by changing the title of Article 16 of Part 1, Regulations for the Design, Construction and Equipment of Structures, by deleting the first word "Adjacent" in the title and adding as a new third paragraph as follows:

"References in these Rules and Regulations to 'lease,' 'leases', 'leased', 'leasing', etc. shall include also arrangements v1hereby participants occupy premises under licenses, agreements of participation or other agreements unless the context otherwise indicates. The grant of the right to occupy premises on the Fair site under a lease, license, agreement of participation or other such agreement :shall not be deemed to include the grant of any right, such as air rights or easements of light or air, other than as specifically granted therein nor prevent the Fair Corporation from permitting others to use such air rights or granting easements relating to the premises or from entering upon ·:>r using, or allowing others to enter upon or use, portions of the premises occupied by a participant, or portions of structures erected on the premises, for purposes related to the operation, construction, maintenance or demolition of exhibits, concessions or other structures. rr

suBJEcT: CensorshiE_

The Fair Corporation's standard form of lease, as well as the standard form of Lake Area lease, contain a stringent censorship clause. As you lmow, this standard lease form, at the request of the International Division, was substantially shortened with respect to international exhibitors, and, in the shortening, th~ censorship provision was oml,tted. This is also true of the short form of agreement used with states.

Accordingly, I recommend the addition of a new Article x:xvrr of the Fair Corporation's General Regulations as follows:

"The Fair Corporation shall have the right to censor all Projects at the Fair site whether in the nature of shows, entertainments, pageants, devices, spectacles, tableaux, and performances of any kind, or otherwise, a.l'ld may close to the public any of the same which may be, in the opinion of the Fair Corporation, obscene, lewd, vulgar, or offensive to good taste, and the Fair Corporation shall have the right in its absolute discretion to censor and prohibit the display of any articles, merchandise, literature, pictures, devices, or paraphernalia which may be, in the opinion of the Fair Corporation, obscene, lewd, vulgar, or offensive to good taste. 11

It is my understanding, from your recent memo to Mr. Constable on this subject, that enforcement of this regulation will be the obligation of Operations, ·with the advice and assistance of the Vice President or other person responsible for the particular area of the Fair where the exhibitor or concessionaire is located .

Mr. Constable

In order to facilitate the effective policing of the Fair site 1

and to help cut down on maintenance costs, it is necessary that certain items of merchandise not gene:rall.y be offered for sale at the Fair. For example, sale of items such as knives, canes, chewing gum, cotton candy and corn-on-the-cob can only cause difficulties of one sort or another. Accordingly, I recommend that we amend subparagraph (d) of Article 11 of the Fair Carporation1s General Regulations to include such items of merchandise within the enumerated list of items which a Fair participant may not sell without the express written permission of the Fair Corporation.

Such revised subparagraph (d) of Article 11 would read a.s follows:

(d) Sales, Admissions andSamples

No exhibitor may sell or give away any merchandise, merchandise samples, literature or service, including food and beverage service1 or charge admission, to all or any part of his exhibit, unless his lease permits the same or he has secured the p>ior approval of the Fair Corporation. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no participant may sell novelty hats, film, photogr~ hie supplies, photographic equipment, knives, ~' .§Eears or long handled items of an;z nature whatever, chewing gum, cotton candy, corn-on-the-cob, watermelons, or candx suckers without cardbo&·d safety sticks, unless the Fair Corporation, by written permission which designates the item by name, grants such participant authority to sell such items.

The articles covered by this category are rain footwear, raincoats and raincapes for men, women and children; women's rain bonnets; and umbrellas and parasols for both adults and children, most of which products would be made of plastic material.

These products can appropriately be identified with the Fair's symbol for the additional souvenir value, but for the most part they should be low-priced for impulse buying to meet immediate use purposes. Because of the need for inexpensive items of this nature, the bulk of the products are :foreign-made, being primarily imported from Japan.

Media Enterprises conferred with the representatives of the following 7 companies in an effort to obtain the most advantageous terms for the Fair:

SUBJECT: PROPOSED LICENSE FOR WORLD'S FAIR RAINWEAR

Macksan Importers, Inc. specializes in importing plastic rainwear items from Japan. With sales exceeding $1, 000, 000 annually, it has well-established national distribution arrangements. Its main line, sold under the tradename of •rRain Beautsrr, consists of women's plastic boots compactly packaged in a plastic carrier that can be put into a purse or affixed to an umbrella handle.

Macksan would amplify its line to include men's and children's plastic footwear, a line of collapsible wnbrellas and parasols and a line of raincoats and raincapes.

Macksan, contrary to the opinion evidenced by other applicants in this category, believes it can achieve significant off-site sales for these products. This is reflected in its proposal of a $10, 000 advance payment against a 5% royalty.·

Judge Maguire has been consulted in this matter and has no objection to our negotiating with Macksan. //

Lamp Contract

DATE: January 16, 1963

Your approval is recommended to negotiate a lamp contract with General Electric Company on terns providing a 46% discount from list prices for purchases in excess of $50, 000, and 47% disc01mt on purchases above $100, 000. At this time, it is proposed to order under this contract the lamps for our street lighting and Fountai.I:l of the Planets luminaires at a total net cost under this contract of $96, 000. These lamps are of a new type which will provide far more light, and in the case of the Founta:in of the .Planets have not previously been put on the market. It has been determined to be economical to purchase these lamps even at relatively high cost on accqunt of the savings in electricity and wiring costs and in the size of housing.

Our consultants recommend this single source procurement silice equivalent lamps cannot be obtained from any other manufacturer within the time required. Under the terms of the contract, we will be able to order other lamps both for construction and maintenance purposes at the same discount, provided these orders are placed within the next twelve months. Further, it is anticipated that competition will be obtained for all such procurement, s:i.nce lamps of other manufactureres will be competitive.

sueJe:cT, Design and World's Fair Construction

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

Almost all of the plans have now been received for the fountains and lighting throughout the Fair and bids have been requested on major contracts-·.:· for the Fountain of the Planets and the street lighting. Bids will be asked on the remaining smaller contracts in the near :future. Final designs on the major paving contract have just been received. Those on the three parking fields have again been delayed, but are promised momentarlly. It is expected that the parking fields can be advertised this month, but the major paving contract still has to go through City channels. The Asse~bly Pavilion is still held up for a decision on a variance by the Board of Standards and Appeals which meeting will be held on 22 January. Favorable action is probable. Most remaining planning items are progressing normally.

Between the completed park department roads and the shaping up of temporary cinder roads, satisfactory construction traffic arrangements now exist throughout the main exhibit area.

The Security Building has been completed and occupied. The Press Building and five administrative and maintenance buildings are proceeding normally.

One new exhibitors' memorandum has been issued governing the handling of storm drainage on exhibitors sites.

As the yea.r ended, a greatly increased number of ex:hibitors plans were filed in the Construction Permit Office, the capacity of our consultants for plan examination being taxed for the first time, but there still have been no serious delays. Nine new starts of exhibitors construction projects were made during the month of December, bringing the total to 27, including three international exhibitors. Site clearing, surface exavation and pile d.riving operations are underway, in addition to the more spectacular construction of exhibitors further advanced. Considerable damage was done by high winds to the form work at the Travelers Insurance and Kodak sites. New York State successfully completed all sixteen of its 100' high columns by the slip form process, and the main part of the Ford pavilion has been roofed.

The number of construction workers on the site amounted to 1, 090, sub-stanually unchanged from last month's l, 10~

SUBJECT:

Foundation construction has been started by National Cash Register, Pavilion of American Interiors, and Greyhound.

Contractor has been chosen by the Christian Science Church, Mexico and the Sudan are expected to choose contractors during January.

United States architects have been selected by Japan and Thailand.

Final building plans have been submitted by six exhibitors; foundation · plans by three; and preliminary plans by three.

Conformity Committee has acted on submissions by eleven exhibitors.

Ground has been broken by World of Food and is being planned for L'ldonesia on January 17th.

An expediter will leave the end of January with a representative of the International staff on a visit to Mexico, Panama, and South Ailerican countries in a final effort to accelerate their progress. Unless definitive action results from this trip it is highly questionable if most of these exhibitors could complete by opening date of the Fair.

Contract No, 11- Long Island Expressway, VanWyck Expressway Interchange, Johnson, Drake & Piper, Inc., Completion date October 30, 1963. This contract is four months behind schedule and will have to be pushed through the winter months if it is to be completed on time.

Contract No. 15 - Flushing River Bridge, A. E. Ottaviano, Inc., Completion date 1st span January 31, 1963, remaining work January 31, 1964. This contract is five months behind schedule.
