Airminded Mayor F. H. LaGuardia has been steamrollering the new terminal at Idlewild, Long Island, for two years, and saying nothing much about 1t. Plans are complete to helicopter- taxi and bus parking lots. They have been redrawn lately to catch up with wartime aviation advances. Meanwhile, actual en- gineering work has been done on the ground and in the water.
 Now, scarcely noticed even by the local citizenry, the main seaplane channel is just about all dug. By spring, the builders will be ready to pour concrete runways for 300,- O30-pound passenger and cargo ex- presses.
 This puts New York out front for postwar business, experts say. Every great international air crossroads London, Paris, Berlin, Moscow. as we'll as New York-has outgrown its prewar airports. London is plan ming, one to supplement Croyden. So far as is known here, the pro- .jsct at Idlewild is the only one so far advanced that, should there be S sudden break in the war in Europe, within year, resulting commercial traffic could be handled with postwar efficiency on the ground and in the water.
 Overseas weekends and tree-rip- ened fruit fresh off the air cargo express from the tropics thus be- come a future certainly for the average New Yorker. Mayor La- Guardia has said the air-borne banana will be cheaper, too.

 From here you may motor into or you may take a helicopter-taxi Manhattan-just g minutes away or bus to a destination distant enough to make that worthwhile.
 Runways go around the admin istration building and occupy the eastern side of the base. There are eight of these, 200 feet wide and 10000 feet long, arranged in pairs for safe, simultaneous landings and takeoffs regardless of wind direction. Fog g-dispelling equipment will make bad-weather operations safe.
 Operations will be directed from mobile auxiliary control towers as well as from the central one. Prob ably there will be, too, a traffic. separation point about 50 miles out side Idlewild, which will both pre- vent cross traffic over New York City and serve the travellers con- venience. In the main giant pas senger and freight express will be routed into Idlewild; "short-haul' traffic into LaGuardia Field. But the traveller will be able to switch at the junction: if he is coming east from Chicago to Manhattan, he may land at Idlewild; but if he is going home to Westchester, he may take a "1ocal' from the junction to La Guardia Field, which is nearer.
 Freight loading docks are at the extreme western edge of the field. Warehouses will be nearby! off,

Board Denies Firms
 Request For Funds
Pitch Brook Reservoir Contract Seeks Transfer of Funds to New Haven Bank; Complications Feared

tion both on recommendation of the city corporation counsel, Maurice Healey, who pointed out that a clause in the contract forbade such action without full consent of the board, and on the face of the pro- posed transaction.
 It was the boards viewpoint that by such assignment more compli- cated and technical phases of the issue would ensue and the city's re- fusal to pay the remainder, until clariflcation of the penalties is made. would result in a three-ring dispute.
 It is understood that certain amount of the delay of completion had resulted from the fact that the construction firm had encountered unforeseen obstacles in the matter of priorities and government restric- tions. It is believed that the city is inclined to be lenient on this phase providing it can be determined to what extent such obstacles con- tributed to the delay.
 By bid of $17,068, entered at last nights meeting of the board the B. M. Y. Coonstruction Co.,, of Wethersfield proved to be the lowest bidder for the construction of san- itary sewers in seven city streets.
 The only other bid was that of the Lambo Construction Co.,, which totaled $19,93320.
 The contract was not awarded at last nights meeting however, as the board, under the charter, must re- ceive notice from the board of fi- nance. that there still remains suf- ficient funds to handle the job. The board adjourned until Friday, on this subject, when it will meet again at noon by which time it will have been notified by the board of finance.
 The sewers will be laid on Ashmun, St. Francis, Wethersfield, Fulton street, Middlesex avenue, Parker street, Sheffield street. and White Rose avenue.
 Edward Bouley, developer of Bouley Manor was last night directed by the board to do his own street grad ing and oiling as undertaken by. the developers of other residential sec tions of the city.
 The board pointed out that through its efforts it succeeded in establish ing sewers in that area and it was not duty bound to do the street im- provements.
 MT. Bouley said he would arrange with the street superintendent to discuss the matter of priorities and other regulations to obtain the nec- essary material for the improving.

The board of works at its meet Ing last evening, denied the request of the L. c. DeFelice & Sons of New Haven contractors on the Pitch Brook reservoir that the remainder of $60,000, due them on the project be assigned to the Second National Bank of New Haven.
 Under the original contract the construction was to have been fln- ished by Nov. l, of last year, but due to unforeseen circumstances a long delay has ensued. The contract meanwhile called for a penalty of $50 a day for each days delay in completing the job after the original completion date.
 Accompanying the firms request was a letter from the bank asking for the boards approval. However, the board decided against such ac-

Garages Demand Appointment
With Auto Repair Priorities
Mechanics Hoved by Droft and War Plants
But Plenty Of Spore Parts Are Available

Your automobile engine nova
days is treated with the same dig
nifty as your liver.
The days Of driving into q garage
and asking the mechanic to grind
the valves are over. You get an
appointment now-just as you would
from doctor or dentist. And the
consideration you get is based on
your importance to the war effort.
Commercial cars hauling war
goods come first. Mechanics will
put aside almost anything they're
working on to keep these vehicles
moving. Next on the list are doc
tors, war workers and other persons
important to the war effort and
whose cars need to be looked after.
The average run of "B" book motor
lists comes next and finally "a book
drivers. Emergency repairs on all
classes of cars are handled i'm
mediately-or at, least as quickly as
the repairmen can get to them.
Describes New System.
This new priorities system of ham
ding automobile repair jobs was
described today by Frederick L.
Haller, secretary Of the Washing
ton ,Automotive Trade Association,
who pointed out that some method
had to be adopted by garages in
The face of the growing volume of
service and repair work and the
alarming loss Of manpower.
The District now, he said, has
only about half the number of auto
mechanics it had Is months ago
and many of these have replaced
veteran employees who have gone OF
to get jobs in war plants. He esti-
mated that about Is per cent OF
the mechanics here now are draft
exempt either because of age or
physical disability.
Some women have been hired
Mr.. Haller reported, but only fol
the lighter jobs around shop. He
said he did not believe woman me-
chanics would ever become very
numerous because so much heavy
work Is involved around a garage.
Apprentices Hired.
The manpower situation has be-
come so serious. he said, that garage
proprietors are now filing deferment
requests with draft boards in an
effort to retain the few experienced
mechanics still left. Many garages,
he said, are also hiring unframed
men and apprenticing them to vet
eran mechanics in an effort to teach
them the business of taking apart
and re-assembling an automobile.
The United States Employment
Service, Mr.. Haller said, has been
unable for months to provide any
mechanics.
They can run up to an aircraft
plant in Baltimore" he said, "and
make 500 a week. It's pretty stiff
competition for the garages"
Plenty Of parts are still available
for nearly every kind of car, Mr.
Haller reported. He pointed out
that factories were allowed to build
up two-year bank" Of spare parts
before they were converted to the
production of war implements.
