MEMORANDUM TO THE EXECUTNE COMMITTEE
FROM ROBERT MOSES
Subject: Terrace Club and Top of the Fair
In the course of the last week I have been going over numerous
complaints, well authenticated, about the Terrace Club and Top of the
Fair. My conclusion is that the Top of the Fair restaurant has many
drawbacks which can be removed. The 'I'errace Club,. on the other
hand, in its present management is indefensible. The prices are exorbi-
tant. The service is often bad. The proposed charges to organizations,
such for example as the Vatican supper group and Mormon Church, are
outrageous and have caused much adverse comment. Begging for tips
and favors goes on practically unchecked.
George Hyam has practically assumed complete control of the
Club and is objectionable to Fair officers and members who have repeated-
ly asked that he keep out of their way.
We can never defend Ulis condition in the face of complaints of
members, societies and especially the press, radio, television and
criticism generally.
I believe there must be a prompt meeting of the Terrace Club board
right away and that drastic action must be taken. The Fair must insist on
a full time competent secretary entirely separate from the manager, tp
watch, inspect and control. If the Club as such can't pay him, the Fair
can. On the other hand, the Fair might withdraw entirely from the Club.
I propose that we cut visits, entertainment, etc._ at the Club to a
minimum. Our officers, exhibitors, etc. can patronize other restaurants.

"ol..,
Memorandum to the Executive Committee -2-
April 6, 1964
I ask the members of the Executive Committee to examine
the attached bills of fare and compare restaurant and Club prices.
Somehow the problem must be solved before it becomes are-
proach to the Fair.
The Port of New York Authority did the Fair a very great favor
in building the. Tower, restaurant and Club before the Fair opened, and
the financial arrangements with Mr. Gardiner seemed at the time the
best that could be made, but the problem of reorganization remains and
must be met. Mr. Gardiner was a friend of the Fairwhen we needed
friends and this should not be forgotten, but recognition of this support
does not change the facts of liie or the necessity of facing them in the
few days before the Fair opens.
I suggest that Joe Martino call an immediate meeting of the Terrace
Club director::; and a report to the Fair and Port Authority, the selection
of a paid full time secretary thoroughly familiar with food problems, a
separate report on Club and restaurant finances by Mr. Witt and imme-
diate clarification of the status of Mr. Hyam.
There are altogether too many really urgent and vital matters !3n-
gaging the attention of the Fair administration, to have the time and
energies of our top people diverted to a stream of complaints about the
Terrace Club.

CAPOZZOLI, J.:
INDEX NO. 4062-1964
The plaintiff seeks to enjoin the defendant, New York World's
Fair 1964-1965 Corporation, hereinafter referred to as "Fair Cor-
poration", from erecting a screen of artificial shrubbery which, con-
cededly, would be located wholly witl1in the public park leased by the
Fair Corporation from the City of New York, in accordance with proper
state and city authority. The plaintiff argues that the erection of this
screen would have the effect of blocking, obstructing or limiting the
visibility of a sign owned by plaintiff and erected on the roof of its
building. This building is located several hundred feet from the boundary
of the Fair. Plaintiff further argues that such a screen is in the nature
of a spite-fence, conceived out of the maliciousness of the defendant
toward it, motivated by resentment on tl1e part of the defendant because of
the failure of the plaintiff to participate in the Fair.
The Fair Corporation alleges that the sign in question is over
250 feet long, with letters ten feet high, reading "Jane Parker A&P
Baked Foods
11
and is approximately 110 feet above the ground. None
of these figures is disputed by the plaintiff. Further, that the screen
contemplated would be '750 feet away from the sign and would be separated
from it by VanWyck Expressway. As to this latter measurement the
Court cannot be sure that it is correct, but it does find that the distance
- 2-
would certainly be hundreds of feet away, if not as much as '750.
The position of the Fair Corporation is that the bright red neon
of the plaintiff's sign would result in a jarring effect upon the beauty
of the fountain show to be provided by the Fountain of the Planets, an
exhibit on the Fair grounds. This show will consist of high rising jets
of water "W1dulating to music and changing colors" and will be given each
night for the free enjoyment of the patrons of the Fair. The defendant
further contends that this sign, and the glow emitted therefrom, is
generally esthetically offensive and harmful to the beauty and theme of
the Fair. For these reasons, argues the Fair Corporation, the screen
complained of is intended to be erected wholly on the Fair grounds to cut
down or avoid the harmful effect of this neon sign on the Fair's beauty
and not because of any malice toward the plaintiff.
This Court has carefully considered the lengthy affidavits of
the parties, together with the exhibits attached thereto, consisting of
lease, photos, maps, diagrams, press clippings, etc. It has also
examined the legal authorities cited by the parties in their respective
briefs. The Court is convinc ed from all t h ~ evidence before it that the
plaintiff has failed to show that the defendant has invaded or violated any
right of the plaintiff.
The test as to the permissible use of or action upon one's own
land is not whether the use causes injury to a neighbor's property, or
that the injury was its natural coniJequence, or that the act is in the
nature of a nuisance, but is as to whether the act or use is a reasonable
exercise of the dominion which the owner has over his property. While
the fact of proximity imposes an obligation of care so that one engaged in
improving his own property may do no unnecessary damage to that of his
neighbor, it does not exclude the owner of that property from using the ....
- 3-
necessary and lawful means to adapt his property to any lawful use, even
though such use may cause damage to his neighbor. (Booth v. R., W. & 0.
T. RR. Co., 140 N.Y. 267; Bove v. Donner-Hanna Coke Corp., 235
App. Div. 37; Mahan v. Brown, 13 Wendell 260.)
In the case of Booth v. R., W. & 0. T. RR. Co., supra, at
pp. 274, 275, the Court said:-
11
The general rule that no one has absolute
freedom in the use of his property, but is re-
strained by the co-existence of equal rights
in his neighbor to the use of his 'property, so
that each in exercising his right must do no
act which causes injury to'his neighbor, is so
well understood, is so universally recognized,
and stands so impregnably in the necessities
of the social state, that its vindication by
argument would be superfluous. The maxim which
embodies it is sometimes loosely interpreted
as forbidding all use by one of his. own property,
which annoys or disturbs his neighbor in the
enjoyment of his property. The real meaning
of the ruJ.e is t11at one may not use his own
property to the injury of any legal right of
another. The cases are numerous where the
lawful use of one's property causes injury to
adjacent property, for which there is no
remedy, because no right of ilie adjacent owner
is invaded, although he suffers injury." (Emphasis
supplied.)
And, later, the Court said: -
"*** and so it has become the settled doc-
trine of the law that if one by excavating on
his own land adjacent to the land of his neigh-
bor, using due care, causes a building on his
neighbor's land to topple over, there is no
remedy, provided the _weight of the building
caused the land on which it stood to give way.
There is in the case supposed, damage, but no
wrong, because what was done by the adjacent
owner was in the lawful and permitted use of
his own property.***".
In the case of Bove v. Donner-Hanna Coke Corp., supra, at
p. 39 of the opinion, the Court said:-
- 4-

11
As a general rule, an owner is at liberty
to use his property as he sees fit, without
objection or interference from his neighbor,
provided such use does not violate an ordin-
ance or statute. There is, however, a limita-
tion to this rule;*** An owner will not be
permitted to make an unreasonable use of his
premises to the material annoyance of his
neighbor, if the latter's enjoyment of life or
property is materially lessened thereby. ***
11

Again, at p. 39, the Court continued:-
11
While the law will not permit a person
to be driven from his home, or to be compelled
to live in it in positive distress or discom-
fort because of the use to which other property
nearby has been put, it is not every annoyance
connected with business which will be
Many a loss arises from acts or conditions which
do not create a ground for legal redress. Damnun
absque injuria is a familiar maxim. ***".
(.Emphasis supplied. >.
In Mahan v. Brown, supra, at p. 265, the Court said:-
11
***No one, legally speaking, is injured or
damnified, unless some right is infringed. ***
The plaintiff in this case has only been re-
fused the use of that which did not belong to
her; and whether the motives of the defendant
were good or bad, she has no legal cause of
complaint.
11
In Saperstein v. Berman, 119 Misc. 205, at p. 207, the
Court said:-
11
The general rule of the common law is
that an owner may build what he pleases upon
his own property no matter what the effect may
be upon the property qf the adjoining owner,
and that it is immaterial what his motive is
in so doing. *** But, notwithstanding this
general rule, a number of jurisdictions have
refused to follow it. And spite fences,
so-called, have been declared to be private
nuisances, even where there was no statute on
the subject, when it was found as a fact lliat
they were built solely with the wicked purpose
of injuring the adjoining owner and not for
the benefit of the person erecting them.***"
{Emphasis supplied. )
- 5-
Insofar as the plaintiff's complaint attempts to set
forth a cause of action under Sec. 843 of the Real Property
Actions and Proceedings Law, suffice it to say that, in the
section itself, the last sentence reads as follows:-
"This section shall not preclude the
owner or lessee of land from improving
the same by the erection of any structure
thereon in good faith. "
Aside from the very serious question as to whether
this statute applies to the case at bar, and the Court
believes that it does not, the fact is that the defendant has
convinced the Court that the screen which is intended to be
erected is being erected in good faith and solely for the
purpose of protecting the esthetic value of the Fair grounds.
While it is true that people may disagree as to whether the
plaintiff's sign might have the bad effect of which the de-
fendant complains, it is still tl1e latter's right to be the
sole judge of what would or would not interfere with its
exhibition. As long as its decision is made in good faith
the plaintiff cannot be heard to complain.
In the case of D 'Inzillo v. Basile, 160 Misc. 237,
the Court had occasion to consider the predecessor of Sec.
843, above mentioned, which was then known as Sec. 3 of the
Real Property Law. In that case the defendant built a brick
wall 26 feet high on the property line of his residential
premises. This wall deprived plaintiff of the use of two win-
dows on plaintiff's premises. The Court held that this wall
was not a spite structure prohibited by the statute and
stated that defendant erected the wall for the purpose of
making use in qood faith of hi.s own property and lliat the
plaintiff has no legal cause of complaint. At p. 239 of its
opinion the Court said; -
.... ' ~ .
- 6-
"When plaintiff's house was built and
windows were placed on the west side wall
overlooking the adjacent plot, did the owner
not assume the risk of having those windows
shut off by the erection of an adjacent
building? The answer is yes. Did that owner
acquire any rights by placing those windows
in that west wall with respect to the use of
the property by the owner to the west? Of
course not. Plaintiff built with notice of
the rights of the adjoining property owner.***"
r_[Jle question asked by the Court in the D' Inzillo v. Basile
case might well be paraphrased and asked of the plaintiff in the case
at bar. The conclusion is inescapable that when the plaintiff erected the
sign in question it acquired no rights with respect to the uses of the
surrounding properties by the owners thereof. It erected that sign with
notice of the rights of the surrounding property owners to make such
use of their respective properties as was best suited for their purposes,
so long as no legal right of the plaintiff would be violated.
The Court has carefully considered the claim of the plaintiff
that the proposed action of the defendant in the contemplated erection
of the screen is motivated solely by its malice toward the plaintiff.
Nowhere in the affidavits and exhibits submitted by the plaintiff does the
Court find any evidentiary facts supporting this contention, and the
Court is satisfied that there has been a total failure of proof by the
plaintiff to show malice on defendant's part. 'The newspaper clippings
attached to plaintiff's aifidavits simply represent the opinion of the
news media. It certainly cannot be claimed that conclusions drawn by
the newspapers and others are binding on the defendant. There is no
evidence adduced that any officer of tl.1e defendant corporation, or any
one authorized to speak for it, ever made any statement which would
support the plaintiff's claim of malice.
- 7-
However, assuming that this were a case of mixed motives
on the part of the defendant corporation, viz: malice toward plaintiff
and a bona fide desire to cut down any possible damage to the beauty
of the Fair, even then, under the authorities, the plaintiff has no cause
of action. (Beardsley v. Kilmer, 236 N.Y. 80.)
In the last cited case, at p. 89 of the opinion, the Court said:-
11
But as we have pointed out we are compelled
to disagree with plaintiff's view that the acts
complained of were solely the conception and
birth of malicious motives and w.hen we do this
and decide that there were also legitimate
puxposes the rule seems to be perfectly well
established that there is no liability. ***".
The Court has examined the cases citect by the plaintiff which
deal with canopies erected over sidewalks and which define the obli-
gallons of adjoining owners to refrain from interference with certain
rights, but all of these cases are clearly distinguishable from the
factu,al situation in the case at bar and have no application.
Under C. P. L. R. Rule 3211, even though issue has not been
joined in the case, the Court may consider the motion made by the
defendant under Subd. (a) 7 of said rule as a motion for summary judg-
ment. Accordingly, since the Court is convinced that the plaintiff has
no cause o:f action against the defendant, the motion of the plaintiff for
a preliminary injunction is denied and the cross-motion of the defendant
to dismiss the complaint is granted.

MEMORANDUM
NEW YORK WORLDS FAIR i964!965 CORPORATION
TO:
MR. MOSES
DATE: April 6, 1964
FROM: w. Bernard Richland
suoJEcT: Discount Coupons, Reduced Rate Certificates and Package Plans
The following is a summary of a report which I am submittin;J to
you pursuant to your memorandum dated March 27, -1964, together
with a proposed amendment to the Rules and Regulations of the Fair
Corporation designed to implement my recommendation and a proposed
notice to all Fair participants.
SUMMARY OF REPORT
Many millions of discount coupon books, reduced rate certifi-
cates and package deals, relating to amusements, rides, restaurants
and other activities within the Fair have been purchased by and distri-
buted to the general public. All appear to be based upon agreements
between the various exhibitors, lessees, concessionaires, etc. and
discount coupon operators, many of which agreements were approved
by the Corporation and many others of which either required no such
approval or were issued without such approval of the Corporation.
The situation has developed rapidly to the point at which the
existence of this vast operation must be recognized by the Fair Corpora-
tion as an actuality and dealt with accordingly. It can neither be cancelled,
stopped nor ignored. The problem for the Corporation (apart from revenue
control which is being capably handled) is one of policing, enforcement
and overall control for the protection of the Fair Corporation and the
interests of the public attending the Fair
.RECOMMENDATIONS
Upon the basis of the following report, I make these recommendations:
1. The Rules and Regulations of the Fair Corporation which are
applicable to all participants in the Fair regardless of whether
or not they are subject to revenue controls, should be amended
so as to impose upon all participants a prohibition against over-
charges, a requirement that discount coupons, etc. be honored
and accepted at face value, and making the acceptance of payment
"" ..
-2-
in violation of the Regulation an overcharge recoverable by the
customer. The new Regulation would further provide that no
breach of any agreement between the issuer of the discount coupons,
etc. and the exhibitors, concessionaires, etc. shall constitute
an excuse for failure to comply with the Regulation. The Regu-
lation will impose upon exhibitors, concessionaires, etc. the duty
to require that all such discount coupons, etc. bear upon their
face a plain disclaimer of any liability of the Fair Corporation.
It would also provide that copies of all agreements between the
issuer and the exhibitors, concessionaires, etc. shall be filed
with the Corporation together with specimen copies of all dis-
count coupons, etc. A copy of the proposed new Rule and Regula-
tion is attached, together with a notice to all participants in
regard thereto.
2. It is suggested that the Parks Department be requested to adopt
a similar regulation applicable to activities within the New York
City Building which are beyond Fair Corporation control.
3. It is suggested that all exhibitors, concessionaires, etc. be
required to post a copy of the Regulation inside all box offices
and at cashiers' desks so that their employees shall be
continually aware of its provisions.
4. Enforcement of the overcharge Regulation would be a responsi-
bility of the Security Department. The present Complaint
procedures established for the Fair contemplates only written
or telephone complaints to be processed and answered by letter.
This procedure would have limited value in the enforcement of
the Overcharge Regulation at the instance of the customer whose
discount coupons are rejected or who is otherwise overcharged
or denied service to which he is entitled. It is therefore sug-
gested that appropriate instructions be given to the Security
forces to deal with on-the-spot complaints in this area. The
functions of the Willmark Agency, which at present contemplate
spot-checking only those concessions from which the Fair
receives revenue, should be extended to all. concessions and
licensees in regard to the observance of the Overcharge Regu-
lation. Violation of the Overcharge Violation should be reported
by the Complaint Bureau and by the Concession Department to
Security. The Security Department should establish liaison with
city and state law-enforcement agencies for the purpose of dealing
with fraudulent or forged discount coupons etc. and admission tickets.
.. ..
-3-
5. All future agreements between exhibitors, concessionaires etc.
and discount coupon operators should contain standard disclaimer
provisions.
6, Operations should maintain a file of all discount coupon etc.
agreements and sample coupons for the purpose of enforcing the
Fair Corporation's rights in regard to the use of its name and
copyright symbols.
7. I recommend that the presert position of the Fair Corporation
withholding approval of the discount operation of "Key to the
Fai.r, Inc.
11
- which has already sold for distribution to the
public, some 600,000 coupon books, the newspaper advertise-
ments for which were approved by the National Better Business
Bureau, whose promoters have amended their coupons so as to
reflect non-involvement of the Fair Corporation in its under-
takings and whose promoters have offered to enter into a consent
agreement with the Consumer Frauds Bureau of the Attorney-
General's office, placing funds in escrow and agreeing that all
advertisements and promotion material will contain a disclaimer
of identification with the :b'air Corporation - be accommodated to
the realities and changed to acceptance, provided that Key to the
Fair executes such appropriate consent agreement with the
Consumers Fraud Bureau of the Attorney General's Office.and
submits copies of its agreements with all concessionaires
included in its coupon books.

to accept or honor any discount coupon or reduced charge or rate certi-
ficate issued pursuant to any agreement or arrangement made in regard
thereto by such exhibitor, lessee, sublessee, concessionaire or
licensee. The acceptance of any charge or rate in violation of this
regulation shall constitute an overcharge which shall, upon demand,
be promptly refunded to the consumer. No breach by the issuer of any
such discount coupon or reduced rate or charge certificate of any
agreement with the exhibitor, lessee, sublessee, concessionaire, sub-
concessionaire or lic:ensee shall constitute an excuse for failure to comply
with the provisions of this regulation. Exhibitors, lessees, sublessees,
concessionaires, subconcessionaires and licensees shall require issuers
of such discount coupons, discount coupon books and reduced rate or
charge certificates to print plainly thereon a statement to the effect that

said Corporation assumes no responsibility or liability to the ptU'chaser
or holder thereof. Copies of all agreements and arrangements between
-2-

ficate issued pursuant to any agreement or arrangement
made in regard thereto by such exhibitor, lessee, sublessee,
concessionaire or licensee. The acceptance of any charge or
rate in violation of this regulation shall constitute an overcharge
which shall, upon demand, be promptly refunded to the consumer.
No breach by the issuer of any such discount coupon or reduced
rate or charge certificate of any agreement with the exhibitor,
lessee, sublessee, concessionaire, subconcessionaire or
. licensee shall constitute an excuse for failure to comply with
the provisions of this regulation. Exhibitors, lessees, sub-
lessees, concessionaires, subconcessionaires and licensees
shall require issuers of such discount coupons, discount
coupon books and reduced rate or charge certificates to print
plainly thereon a statement to the effect that such discount
coupons or reduced rate or charge certificates are not an
obligation of the New York World's Fair 1964-1965 Corpora-
tion and that said Corporation assumes no responsibility or
liability to the purchaser or holder thereof. Copies of all
agreements and arrangements between exhibitors, lessees,

Under the above rate schedule at the 509 fare, it is computed that on 8 million
rides which is their top estimate, the Fair Corporation will receive $717, 000 as
rental, but under the increased fare of 7 5 ~ , the Fair Corporation will receive $1,437,000
which is more than the Swiss Skyride can earn after recovering their investment and
paying operating expenses. They argue that this kills their incentive to operate at
maximum capacity. They first offered 50% up to 6 million rides and 10% above that.
Their new proposal would reduce our maximum from $1,437,000 to $893,000.
I refused to accept this and they have now made a counter proposal of paying the
Fair Corporation an additional deposit in advance of $650, 000 as guaranteed rental in-
come plus 10% of all receipts in excess of $4,250,000. This will bring the Fair
Corporation up to the same potential of $893,000 but takes the speculation out of this
venture. I estimate that they will do approximately 6 million rides on which amount we
would recover $869, 000 on the higher fare under the original schedule.
The Swiss Skyride also offers the Fair Corporation an option until May 1, 1965
to buy the Skyride after closing of the Fair for $1. 00. If the Park Department desires
to retain the Skyride for operation after the Fair closes, this option may be worth-
while. We could also recover some monies from salvage if we exercise the option.
On 1 million rides per season, they state that the cost of operating is approx-
imately 19. 4 ~ per ride. This cost shows a reducing scale for greater use.
- 2 -
Greyhound's share of the revenue to be received is 25% of the Fair's portion.
Therefore, Greyhound would have to approve any change in the rental schedule.
Although I feel that the Skyride would be very popular at a fare of 50, the
increase of the fare to 759 will undoubtedly increase consumer resistance and may
reduce its use substantially. I therefore recommend that we accept the proposal of
the guaranteed rental of $750, 000 plus 10% of all receipts over $4, 250, 000 and the
option of purchasing the Skyride at the end of the Fair for $1. 00, subject to the
approval of Greyhound.

Dear Mr. Witt :
TLPHONE
HA 12.::128
March 30, 1964
Please find enclosed our revised proposal for a new
structure which substitutes our proposal of March ZO, 1964.
We have now included in this proposal an option for the Fair
Corporation to buy the Skyride after closing o the Fair for
$1.
\\' c are convinced that this proposal is to our mutual benefit.
l'l'Om an economical standpoint, it would certainly be mom
aclva1Hagcoua 11. leave the Skydclo at lltj pl'eiHHlt location,
since only parL uf the costs can be recovered in removing
the equipment.
Attached are some figures referring to the Skyride operation
after closing of the Fair. Basing ourselves on the double
declining balance method for depreciation, the value of the
Skyride would amount to $1,020.600. The enclosed Table
also shows the operation costs.,
Looking forward to hearing from you, we remain,
Very truly yours,

As \'lill be seen from the annexed tables, at the
75-ccnt admission provided for in the Third Addendum,
the $750,000 minimum rental willexceed the rental payable
under the original schedule until nearly the 6 million
passenger level. Should the admission have to be
reduced to the oricinal 50-cent figure, the mini-
mum rental l>lo"uld exceed the rental payable under the original
schedule even at the 8 million passenger level. On the
other hand, at the 8 million passenger level with the 75-cent
admission charge, the total rental under proposal would
be $89 3 .. 000 as compared \'11th $1, 4 37, 000 under the original
schedule.
The proposal not only would guarantee the Fair
Corporation a total rental substantially in excess of the
original rental should the Skyride have only modest atten-
dance, but it would provide for payment in cash of the en-
tire $750,000 minimum rental prior to Opening Day. It thus
appears that this proposal has advantages for .both partiese

arrangement suggested in our letter of March 9, the new pro-

INDUSTRIAL SECTION
PROGRESS REPORT
(as of March 30, 1964)
House of Good 'raste- Since the last Executive Committee Meeting,
we have been faced with serious crises on this project. Bernard
Fortunato who is the contractor threatened to throw the principals
of the House of Good Taste into bankruptcy. Mr. Fortunato has in-
vested over $500, 000 and been unable to collect monies due. The.
building itself has been progressing well but as of March 16, 1964
construction ceased. We held a munber of conferences with the
House of Good Taste principals, Mr. Fortunato, architects, creditors,
lawyers, etc. An ultimatum was given to Tom O'Connor and
Mrs. Joan Guggenheim Van de Maele, who are responsible for the
financing of the House of Good Taste, to meet their obligations no
later than Monday, March 23rd. Mr. O'Connor and Mrs. Van de Maele
were unable to supply the necessary credit (approximately $1, 000, 000)
on March 23rd. Accordingly, Mr. Fortunato took over responsibility
for the enterprise and has resumed construction. We believe now that
the House of Good Taste will be reaqy and open o ~ April 22nd. There
are a number of knots remaining to be untied, but Mr. Fortunato has
assured us that the project will proceed under his control and direction.
I should like to call to the attention of the Committee that throughout
the negotiations Mr. Fortunato has shown a great deal of patience
under the most difficult dircumstances.
Pavilion of American Interiors- Since the last Executive Committee
Meeting this Pavilion ran into serious economic difficulties; however,
adequate financing has now been obtained and construction is proceed-
ing on an accelerated basis. Mr. Elton has also subleased the restau-
rant in his building to A1 Schacht.
Better Living- Construction on this multiple pavilion seems to be
proceeding actively and on a full overtime basis. The schedule remains
very tight but we believe they will make the opening date as they have
promised. There has been a good deal of actiVity in Better Living of
late, including interest from some of the important but disappointed

sublessees of the World of Food (for example: Hershey, Burnham &
Morrill, RCA- Whirlpool, Lipton). It is unlikely that the building
will be more than 60-70% rented by April 22nd, but new interest
continues to be demonstrated from substantial sources (Tetley Tea
may sponsor the Better Living Theatre).
World of Food- Judge Dickens handed down an opinion on March 5,
1964 granting a permanent injunction against the Fair Corporation,
preventing it from interfering with the construction of the World of
Food Pavilion. No construction work whatever has been done on the
Pavilion, however,
On March 23, 1964 Judge Dickens held a hearing in connection with
the signing of the judgment in the matter. Counsel for the Fair
Corporation made a motion to have Judge Dickens set aside hts prior
determination. He denied this motion and on March 24, 1964 signed
a judgment providing for the permanent injunction. Counsel for the
Fair Corporation thereupon, on March 26, 1964, filed a motion before
the Appellate Division, First Department, asking for a stay of Judge
Dickens' judgment, pending the hearing of an appeal which the Fair
Corporation is taking from the judgment. The motion for a stay comes
before the Appellate Division on March 31, 1964, If it is granted, the
Fair Corporation will have the right to demolish the steel. If the
motion for a stay is denied, counsel for the Fair Corporation will make
every effort to get to the Appellate Division to hear the appeal promptly.
The objective, of course, is to get the determination of Judge Dickens
reversed in time to demolish the steel before the opening of the Fair.
If this turns out to be impossible, alternative plans for screening the
plot from public view are being made,
2. SPECIAL PROJECTS
Mayo Clinic - After many meetings and separate talks with Mayo per-
sonnel during my three-day visit to Rochester, Minnesota (2/27-3/1)
various conclusions were reached concerning the feasibility of the '
Clinic's participation in the Fair this year.
Pa.ge6
INDUSTRIAL SECTION
PROGRESS REPORT
SPECIAL PROJECTS (cont. ) - Mayo Clinic
The Mayo Clinic does not wish to be featured by itself. They have at
least 2500 sq. ft. of modules immediately available, with a possible
additional 2500 sq. ft. to be ready by June or July. They prefer to
be grouped with exhibits by the American Medical Association, the
American Heart Associaiton, the Cancer Society, the National Tuber-
culosis Association-- all of whom have exhibits available. Several of
the Mayo Clinic doctors are officers in these other associations and
have indicated that the desire of these groups to p ~ t i c i p a t e in the Fair
was inhilited only by lack of funds. They do have monies to prepare
exhibits and ship them to the Fair; the need remains to find a suitable
location within the areas presently available.
In order to meet the schedule for 1964 we had hoped to incorporate the
Mayo Museum in one of the multiples (Hall of Education or Better Living).
They feel, however, that it would be inappropriate for the Museuin to be
housed among commercial neighbors, even if they were isolated or
enclosed.
Mr. Moses made a personal plea to the U. S. Pavilion for space for a
Medical Exhibit, but word has been received that other commitmentS
make it impossible to include a new plan. We have reluctantly informed
the Mayo Clinic, therefore, that the Fair will not be able to accommodate
a Mayo Clinic-AMA-American Heart-Cancer Society-National Tuberculosis
Association exhibit for the 1964 season but that we will do our best to find
a place for 1965.
Pan American Highway Gardens - This project is coming along very well,
and loans from various Central American countries of sculpture, arti-
facts, etc. are in transit for display in the Gardens. Mr. Moses will
participate in a tree planting ceremony on April 8, 1964, at which the
honoredguest will be Dr. Jose Mora, Secretary-General of the Organiza-
tion of American States, together with representatives from participating
countries, Central American business interests, and the Pan American
Union.

endorsement of tobacco products other than those of General Cigar during
1964 and, should the option be picked up by General Cigar for 1965,
exclusivity would continue for that year. Such option must be picked up
by September 1, 1964.

suBJECT; Amendment to Regulations Concerning Restaurant Price Lis:t_
Certain of the Fair Corporation's agreements With participants require
that the participant, if he will be selling items or renderinq services, make
available to the public at locations to be designated by the Fair Corporation,
schedules of the t>rices and rates for such items and services.
I believe that it is important that this be a uniform requirement imposed
upon all participants who will operate restaurants or otber food and beverage
serving facilities. I believe that the public should, in all cases, and without
embarrassment, be able to easily ascertain the price ranges of such restaurants
and facilities before determining to tq.em. As you lmow, many
restaurants in the City actually post their menus in the window so that the
public may examine same before even entering the establishment.
Accordingly I recommend that you request the Executive Comniittee
to authorize the President to approve a revision to Part 3 of the Fair
Corporation's Special Regulations so as to require all participants
restaurants .or other food and beverage serving faa:lfties io 129st schedules _
of prices and rates at locations designated from time ra ume by
Corporation, such regulations to become effective upon your appror"P'

suBJEcT: Electrical Contract
Our electrical contractor, Johnson Electrical Corp., under his
Park Department contract and special agreement on expediting with us,
has now completed approximately 97'*: of his work. The balance consists
of widely scattered items throughout the Fair site, including the final
trouble-shooting for about two-thirds of his lighting circuits. Our agreement
with him on expediting called for us to assume portions of his cost for
expediting through the winter season; and it terminates now that :frost is
out of the ground. However, despite the better weather, the congestion
on the site is now so serious that he is encountering increasing difficulty
in checking out the system, repairing damages caused by exhibitors,
and activating the completed circuits.
.
I met yesterday with Mr. of Johnson Electrical
Corporation, and with Mr. Windman of Syska & Hennessy to attempt to
work out a solution to this problem. On a realistic evaluation, it is going
to cost approximately $275,000. to complete and finally check out these
systems under existing conditions, with a force of 85 electricians, working
at least a 48 hour week, and all aqree that the final completion will be
about 15 April. Payment under the Park Department contract for work yet
to be done probably will not exceed $125,000.; and as you lmow, this contract
cannot ;require expediting. Mr. Sverdlove claims to have lost $500, 000. on
the contract to date, which is unquestionably exaggerated and logically
irrelevant. Nonetheless, he is unwilling to continue the expediting of this
contract unless some way is found to avoid further losses. He will expedite
the completion of all systems, with maximum forces and continued overtime
until complete, provided that we assume his direct field costs, plus 1\Pl: for
overhead, and accept from him as offset, the entire amount of his
compensation for this work from the Park Department. 'lhis continuation
of expediting will probably cost us an additiorial. $150,000.
I recommend that you approve.

Dear General Potter:
In accordance with our conversations with Mr. Sidney M. Shapiro,
we agree to perform engineering services in connection with the proposed
construction of a screen along the newly. constructed viaduct of the Van Wyck
Extension, near the grounds of the World's Fair. The purpose of the screen
is to break up and diffuse the light from an adjacent large neon sign visible
from certain areas of the Fair grounds.
The proposed screen will be of artificial (plastic) green foliage
mounted on a wire mesh supported on cables strung between tall steel masts.
The masts will be set in the ground and attached to the fascia girders of the
viaduct. The height and extent of the screen will be such that, from a de-
sired area of the Fair grounds, the light from the n,on sign will be diffused.
Our services will consist of the following:
1.

3.
A survey to establi$h the desirabl' location and extent
of the screen, as determined from' your requirements.
Designs, drawings and specifications for the supporting
structure and foliage of the screen.
Assistance in selection of and negotiations with a con-
tractor for construction of the screen.
General W. E. Potter
-2-
4. Supervision of construction and inspection of the
work.
March S, 1964
We understand that you will obtain all permits from City, State
and Federal agencies necessary for the execution of the project. We will
render our assistance in this matter to the extent you wish us to do so.
We also understand that the World's Fair Corporation will save
us harmless from claims of whatever nature arising from the construction
of this screen, 'as other than our professional engineering responsibility
for design of the structure.
Our remuneration for the engineering services will be in accord-
ance with our other current contracts with the World's Fair Corporation,
namely, two and one-half (2-1/2) times payroll, plus .travel and out-of-pocket
expenses at cost.
The return of a signed copy,ot' this letter will constitute your
acceptance of our proposal. -
Very truly yours,

All exhibitor construction is now in its final stage. Heavy work forces
are being employed on Saturday and Sunday plus overtime on regular work days,
Exhibits arE:! beihg placed in a large percentage of the buildings. With the
exception of two or three pavilions construction has reached its final stage.'
With the exhilarated program on the Belgian Villaqe there does not seem to
be much concern about the construction phase except in one or two cases. The
remaining work on the exhibitors' pavilions consists of the outside clean;.. up and
the landscaping, which is just getting under way. Many of these areas are not large
and can be done in two to three days. From now until opening day we are concen-
trating on the exhibits and the removal of construction trailers from the Fairgrounds.
Trailers pose quite a problem as there are about 450 of them on the site.
Removing them and storing them is a problem.
Labor has been doing very well except in one or two instances where we had
work stoppages. We have been able to resolve these without too much delay. However,
after the worlanen are no longer allowed to park on the site (after April 13th), this
may or may not create some labor problems.
In some of the interiors of exhibits such as the International area we will
watch the workers reactions very carefully and be ready to handle any stoppage if
~ . ' ..
-2-
such stoppage should occur.
All in all, labor has done an excellent job and is to be congratulated.

suBJECT: Design and World's Fair Construction
Your approval is requested of the following report for presentation to the
Executive Committee.
Under World's Fair expediting arrangements, supplementing the Park
Department contracts, the eiectrical system of the Fair is now largely complete,
with final test and check out still going on in a number of areas, and minor portions
of work still under way in scattered sites where work has 'jjeen damaged or held up.
Final completion of all electric systems is expected by 15 April except that
installation of the last increment of high voltage transformers will still be going
on inside the substations, for several weeks. 'Ihe final completion of the lighting
and sound systems under other contracts will follow by 20 April.
Similarly under World's Fair expediting arrangements, paving throughout
the Fair site is complete except for scattered work of a minor nature and repairs
of damages. Turecamo and finally, Siciliano were brought in to supplement Zara's
work during the last few weeks. Completion of punch list items in all areas is
planned to be accomplished by the 8th of April.
On 21 March, the Park Department contract for installation of sod in malls,
which has been inactive since fall, was activated under World's Fair expediting, and
is proceeding well. This and other planning contracts will be completed on time, but
some overtime will be required.
The Amphitheatre roof has been on a very tight schedule, but Fuller now has
almost all the steel in place, and the amphitheatre will be ready for rehearsals
starting 10 April. The U.s. Space Park is still extremely critical, due to late
starting, but three major missiles are in place, and the Saturn Vis being erected.
All foundations and undergrol.Url utilities are complete, and the paving base course
will be completed today. A considerable amount of overtime will still be required,
particularly for assembly of the display panels. The Space Park will be completely
ready for Opening Day, if the U. S. Government d e l ~ v e r s components as scheduled.
The new addition to the Administration Bullding authorized 31 January, is
now occupied, although final completion work is $till going on. The bandshell with
stage and toilet facilities, which was authorized March 3rd, was designed on a crash
basis, utilities connections were laid, and the steel frame is now complete. It will
be practically completed by opening day; and, since its location is in the interior of
a park, any final work will be inconspicuous. The viewing stand, which was

10 April. The additional child care center, authorized on 24 February, has concrete
and rough plumbing complete and carpentry has started. It will be finished by
20 April. These last four items are being built by James King and Sons.
The foundations and utility connections for the Atoinedic Hospital were
completed and turned over to the Operations Division for construction of the
building by others.
The Singer Bowl and the Pavilion should be complete and operational
on 15 April.
Clean-up is being accomplished as far as possible through supervising
engineers and contractors responsible for each phase of the work. However,
preparations are being made for a final clean-up operation, including repair of
damages and re-check of all omissions, starting 15 April.
Except for the final work inside substations and the interior of the band-
shell, as noted above, all parts of the World's Fair construction program and the
aspects of the Park Department program included in the scope of this report will
be ready by Opening Day.

Re: Progress Report on Arterial Highway Construction
in the Vicinity of the World's Fair
Refer to map for contract location
There has been a substantial increase in the work effort by all con-
tractors in the past two weeks, and it appears that the pavement and landscaping
areas will be generally in an acceptable condition at the opening of the Fair.
However, further increase is needed to minimize repairs and replacement after
the Fair opens.
With the anticipated minimum number of visitors set at 250, 000 per day
and the related increase in vehicles, it will not be possible to close any lanes on
any highway during the Fair. It is imperative that the contractors perform all
curb replacement, drainage cleanout, shoulder and mall work, and other items
encroaching on the highways before April 22nd. All uncompleted work must be
deferred until October 22nd.
Fence work in the Fair area remains uncompleted. It is of maximum
importance that all fences be finished by April lOth in order to provide complete
security around the Fair site.
Increased emphasis must be placed on preparation of landscaping areas.
It appears that Lagana-Green Valley and Steve Brody, Inc. have extensive commit-
ments with the general contractors for topsoil placing and seeding in addition to
their own landscaping contracts with the State.
Contract No. 2 (Merritt-Mt. Vernon) - has completed all paving except
walks. More work is needed on shoulders, cleaning of drainage structures, curb
replacement and topsoil placing.
Contract No. 3 and 5 {Tully & DiNapoli) - require more work on fences,
guide rails and center mall paving.
-2-
Contract No. 10 (Hendrickson) - needs pushing on shoulder construction,
topsoil, painting and guide rail . The State has not as yet authorized repairs on
the Jewel Avenue ramp structure. This decision has been delayed for over two
months.
Contract No. 11 (Jo:b ..... 113on, Drake & Piper) - is dredging and placing stone
on the banks of the Flushing River. Topsoil placing, fencing a...'1d cleanup need
more attention.
Contract No. 13 (Artlmr Johnson) - will finish all paving this week.
Placing of curbs, topsoil and fences must be accelerated. It is anticipated that
the 69th Road bridge will be opened to traffic on April 7th and all remaining road-
ways on April lOth.
Contract No. 14 (Slattery) -has not been making satisfactory progress on
grading, topsoil and cleanup. Increased forces and equipment are needed.
Contract No. 16 ('l,ully & DiNapoli) - requires increased effort on topsoil
placing.
J. C. P. Contracting Corp. has improved progress on the widening of the
VanWyck Expressway between Hoover and Hillside Avenues. The Main Street
connection was opened to traffic on March 30th. It is anticipated that all roadways
will be open by April 17th. Cleanup operations are lagging and must proceed
concurrently with the remaining construction.
Triboro Neon Co. has not as yet augmented its sign erection crews. No
work has been done on the Whitestone Expressway, and we cannot wait until Grand
Central Parkway signs are completed to start there.
Planting is generally proceeding well, except for certain areas not top-
soiled as noted above. Seeding, which follows the planting, has not been started
to date. Considering the short time available the State must immediately coordinate
the several operations in order to insure complete and presentable landscaping.
