Bids onCity Airport Plan Now Received
 PIon to Drow Up
 Moster Blueprint
 From Information

Bids on the cost of a survey to de- termine the needs and demands for a Class 3 type municipal airport for Waterbury are now being re- ceived, Richard D. Crane, chairman of the City Plans airport commit tee, reported today.
 Two bids have been submitted to date by aeronautical engineering concerns and two more are expected soon, MT. Crane told The Democrat.
 The proposed survey will consist of a determination of airport re- quirements and demands for the To- cal and feeding areas and the gen. eral regional areas Costs of require ments will be determined by study of the possible participation of To- cal industries, merchants and oth- CTS whose business may be influ- enced by the construction of an air. port.
 Traffic Survey Included
 The survey will also include the potentialities of passenger, freight and mail traffic in terms of pas- senger and ton miles. This will be based on incoming and outgoing &C., tivities in this line
 The procedure set up by MT. Cranes committee, in collaboration with Theodore Scott-Smith city plan engineer, also calls for the drawing up of master plan based on the survey now being planned. The master plan, however may be held in abeyance until the city is able to determine just which of the three or four proposed airport sites will be the best available. The mas ter plan calls for study of site clearance and general topography, mechanical potentialities and other details, MT. Crane said.
 The City Plan commission last year drew up plans for a proposed Class 3 type airport at an estimated cost of $3,50o,000 Various obstacles have confronted the plans since the original proposal.
 These have included the refusal of authorities of the Town of Vol colt to permit condemnation or pur- chase of that part of the original proposed site that is located within the Wolcott boundaries. This site, considered the best, is in the general area of the Meriden and Todd Roads.
 Objections Raised
 This was followed by objections to construction of any airport at this time as presented by the Waterbury Council of Community Clubs. The latter went on record "as opposed to an airport construction because it Is not now needed by the city and the money should be expended on streets and other necessities" The Council was supported by in dustrialists of Waterbury's Big Three, Scovill Manufacturing Co.,, Chase Brass & Copper Co.,, and American Brass Go. The latter qualified their objections at later date. .,-,
 Present plans also call for partici- patton in the program by the nu- nicipalities of Bristol and Meriden'

Rasmussen Starts New Cinder PIont
 Abondons Long
 Woit for Board
 To Moke RuIinq

The proposed cinder-bl factory of Floyd Rasmussen local contractor and COP. state central committee man will be located on Aurora Street, instead of Bradley Avenue, he announced today.
 MT. Rasmussen's proposal to oper- ate the factory was bitterly opposed by residents of the area who declar- ed it to be of potential nuisance value"
 Building Inspector John T. Hart ley refused a building and opera tionS permit to MT. Rasmussen be- cause the area is considered resi- dential and does not permit opera tion of an industrial concern. The local contractor appealed to the Board of zoning Appeals and today stated, in sharp criticism of the Board.
 Waiting eight weeks for five men to render decision is more than SdI4 StdIlQ. expect 10 nave the tac- tory in operation within another month"
 Rasmussen contended he sought to, operate only to alleviate the critical housing situation here" He added;
 There has been terrific pres sure placed on me for the con- Struction of homes, and to meet the needs of the multitudes of persons who have approached me and beg ged for materials whereby they could have some hope of building a home, l decided to start the construction Of the cinder block factory as soon as possible. In taking such action I feel that I am eXerting the rights of patriotic citizen, using his rights of free enterprise in dem ocratic community" he added.

BERLIN MPs RIDE
LIGHTS OUT, PATROL

BERLIN. - Cap - American
military police in the German
capital have new job; warning
householders to put out unneces-
sary lights and turn off radios
that aren't being listened to.
The drive is part of Berlin's
power conservation campaign,
which has become more urgent
with the longer autumn nights.
Until WORKOUT equipment can be
replaced, Berlin is expected to
get only 80 per cent of the cur
rent it needs. Power interrupt
tions, amounting to several hours
daily, are one method employed
to save electricity.
Newly arrived American fam
lilies are the worst offenders
against the lights-out rule, mill
tary police say.

Editor. The Citizen: :
In my communication to you
about a month ago I inadvert-
emily gave you a mistaken idea
about the present status of
Ernest F. Coe and the Ever
glades National Park Associa-
ton. Hon.. j. Mark Wilcox, forns-
er Congressman, who is Presi-
dent of the Association, tells me
that the Association has refused
to accept Mr.. Goes resignation,
and while the headquarters at
the Miami Civic Center have
been closed, Mr.. Coe has the
files and records of the Associ-
alton and is conducting the cor
respondence from his home at
ABB Ell Prado, Coconut Grove.
When this wonderful park is
developed by the United States
Government the name of Ernest
F. Coe will be immortalized be-
cause he conceived the original
idea and through his efforts the
Association was formed and
carried on for many years. The
Association secured the creation
of the Commission which is the
Official State body handling the
acquisition of the necessary
lands to make the Park.
