Plan for Big Baltimore Arena
To Get Legislative Test Soon

Wrestling. the other major IN
door athletic activity in Balti-
more, frequently has drawn
Runaway crowds at the Coli
scum. which seats an estimated
4, 200.
A bill similar to the one intro
duced by Delegate Edward Me-
Neal Of Baltimore, now under
consideration by Mandel's city
group. made little headway in
the 1852 session Of the General
Assembly. Under the proposal
the unpaid fiye-man arena au-
thority would be appointed by
the Baltimore Mayor. The arena
authority would have the power
to buy. lease or acquire by con-
demnation property for the con-
struction Of the arena itself and
incidental facilities such as park
ing.
It would float up to SIS million
worth Of tax-exempt bonds at q
time. They would be paid on
from rental Of the arena and its
facilities, without pledging the
credit Of the city or State.
After the cost Of the arena
has been met, 1t would become
the property Of the city.
