Mayor John E. Babiarz yesterday discussed the project and at least three other fields affecting the future of Wilmington at his second press conference since assuming office.

Among the disclosures of administration efforts in future planning was that adoption of the new zoning code will be fol work will be done by private contractors after a bid open ing tomorrow. Babiarz said the successful bidder will be asked to share his work with other companies so that the reconstruction job will be done faster. lowed by a possible merger of HE POINTED out that the disclosed a variety of feeling about the work. Many of those attending had given up fighting the widening of Foulk Road and were interested now in sidewalks. They want the sidewalks for their children to walk on on their way to and from school.

J. S. Robinson, a Highway Department engineer, said that the department will not build additional sidewalks. It will replace any sidewalks that it disturbs in construction, i He suggested two methods residents could use to obtain additional sidewalks. They could (a) buy them through school district bonding, or they could (b) use the suburban community law which makes possible sidewalks, curbing and other limited improvements.

WOULD THERE be an underpass or an overpass connecting Foulk Road and Brandywine High School as a safety measure? Mr. Robinson doubted there would be one. The department, he thought, would not spend road-construction money in this manner. The engineer said the department would include in its project orders every safety measure it knows about, but he warned that at best the people will be inconvenienced during construction. Boni Martinez presided.

State Rep. T. Lees Bartleson (R-Linda-mere) said last night that he is opposed to making a four-lane highway of Foulk Road. The legislator told a meeting of the Oak Lane Manor Civic Association at the Foulk Road School that there has been a question in his mind about the project since the start. Mr.

Bartleson said: "I am with you thoroughly. I'll do what I can to resist it." He stressed that he thought the project the less supportable since a freeway will be built nearby, and added "I couldn't, see any reason for building a four-lane road into th West Chester Pike." ALTHOUGH HE wasn't so positively opposed, State Senator Reynolds du Pont (R-Greenville) said he thought the Oak Lane people should contact the members of the State Highway Commission from New Castle County. There are four of them, du Pont said, although none from Brandywine Hundred. "I'm sure," said the senator, "that they'd be interested in what you think." "What can the people do about roads when they're not consulted," asked one hot-under-the-collar taxpayer. "THE BEST thing you can do is to contact us and to contact the Highway Department," answered Senator du Pont.

The Mayor said that in the future provision will be made in specifications to require the HERE ARE the steps being taken as outlined by the Mayor: On the redevelopment project: The Mayor and Council were briefed this week by a representative of the Jackson-Cross organization which prepared the most recent study of possible use of the 38-aere East Side area. Babiarz says a second briefing session will be with the consultant now preparing a plan for the area surrounding the Poplar Street Project and successful bidder to do a major percentage of the work and give a percentage to other contrac tors willing to match the lowest bid. The city's chief executive said Mitchell had assured him the patching job would be done in 30 days with a break in the weather, six weeks if the Wilmlniton Mornlnr Nevi rhoto niqht, but it took them longer to get rid of the smoke.

OH. High above this southern California town a big kite of brown wrapping paper soared. Then things happened.

Cars filled with curious sightseers jammed the street in front of Jack Wigmore's house. His telephone jangled. The neighbors leaned on their lawnmowers and chuckled. Everybody had his say on the big question of the week: "Will he or won't he?" For a few days this went on. Every day after school Wigmore's two sons flew the 10-foot kite, almost as big as their garage floor.

Painted on it in bold letters was the message that caused all the stir: "Situation Wanted call LI 8-1304." Wigmore, 33, had been out of work 2Vi months since the electronics firm where he had been plant manager at $12,000 a year went defunct. After nationwide publicity on the kite, job offers came in. "I was either over-qualified or under-qualified," he said yesterday. "One person offered to let me cut his lawn." Pranksters called, too lots of them. But so did dozens of recession-conscious persons sincerely interested in his problem.
