The commission has made known its feelings to Mayor Joseph L.

Eyre and suggested he pass them on to the Delaware River Port Authority. Mayor Eyre said today he has not done so 'and would not present the city's official position on the bridge until the authority picks a site for it. The authority was expected to select a this month but the decision has been delayed. The authority Wednesday set a meeting of the transportation committee for Oct. 5.

At that time, the committee is expected to rec ommend the site. It is believed the authority will select the Flower Street sectioi of Chester for the crossing to link Delaware County and Glou cester N. J. The authority Wednesday also named Stroud Co. and Drexel Co.

as its financial advisors on the bridge and the high-speec transit line between Philadelphi; and Kirkwood, N. J. Paul MacMurray, executive di rector of the authority, said the firms will advise the authorir whether it can finance the bridge and "how it can best be Mayor Eyre said city counci has never taken any position on the bridge and he did not feel il should take a position on the site until one is selected. "We won't say anything until after the authority decides so we can see how it affects us." he said. Morton Lustig, consultant for the planning commission, said the commission would rather hare the bridge outside the city for these reasons: 1.

It would reduce "by a pretty substantial amount" tax-earning real estate, which Chester can ill afford to lose. 2. It would displace persons rom homes, especially Negroes vho have "the toughest time" finding other homes. 3. Homes aiong a bridge "approach" often become blighted.

Lustig who is a planner for the ''els Institute for State and Local Government of the University of Pennsylvania, said the planning commission did not send a formal statement to the mayor on the matter. He said the commission authorized him to send a draft of a proposed letter which he suggested the mayor would send to the au thority outlining the commission's position. Lustig stressed that the commis sion would not block the bridge if help the woman. He tried sack off the tracks.
