May Be Largest Private Project Ever Undertaken TALLAHASSEE W) Work on "probably the largest single private enterprise project ever undertaken anywhere" officially began Friday as Gov. Claude Kirk signed enabling legislation for Disney World. Kirk predicted that the "creative leisure" project would generate some $6.5 billion in its first decade as he spoke in ceremonies on the patio of the governor's mansion before signing the bills. Roy Disney, president of Disney Productions, waited until Kirk signed the legislation before making his statement.

"My remarks are predicated on you having signed that," he said. Kirk's 5-year-old stepdaughter, Adriana, stood by his elbow as he officially signed the measures while a score of interested legislators looked over his shoulder. Disney then announced the immediate start of an 18-month water control and site preparation project to ready the swampy 43-square mile site for regulars while sneaking ashore ficer Robert J.
