85 Regional Stocks By The Associated Press praised company- officials for honoring their promise to locate their plant in Santa Fe if they received federal housing contracts. The 52,000 square-foot plant is already in operation building the wet-cores, or service modules for homes to be built under Project Breakthrough, a low-income housing project financed by the Department of Housing and Urban Development. Alcoa has kept its promise to New Mexico. They should be commended, and I promise to do everything I can to see that this becomes a successful and long range operation, Montoya said. He cited the long delays as New Mexicos congressional delegation battled federal red tape to get the money and final approval for Operation Breakthrough.

"Were still battling the red tape, but we should start getting some results soon to provide the volume of work this plant needs, Montoya said. D.C. (Pete) Mathewson, plant manager, said Alcoa Construction Systems presently has about 20 employes and hopes eventually to have enough housing contracts to employ about 100 people. The plant is presently building wet-cores which will be used for Project Breakthrough homes in Springer and Maxwell. Alcoa has contracts for 892 of 1,300 Project Breakthrough homes to be built in New Mexico.

HUD, however, has been delayed in getting land and construction sites for the project. This plant is not just for federal contracts, Mathewson said, Alcoa has made a long range commitment here and we have already started trying to get into the private housing market. Alcoa Construction Systems, a subsidiary of Alcoa Aluminum, has set up a sales office in Albuquerque to help develop a private market for the modular units in motel, apartment and recreational housing construction. The Santa Fe plant assembles the kitchen, bathrooms, plus all heating, plumbing and electrical hookup in one unit. This modular unit is taken to the construction site and the rest of the house or building is constructed around the core.

Mrs. Alice Daum, chairman of the Santa Fe County Housing Authority which is developing Operation Breakthrough housing in Santa Fe, said a site in southern Santa Fe will be under construction by next spring. ANNUAL RETREAT The Santa Fe Chamber of Commerce held its annual retreat for the board of directors at Rancho Encantado yesterday, a planning session for 1974 goals of the chamber. Present were Jim Chambers, president; Jim Lindsey, executive director; Dale Wood, president-elect, and directors Paul Boushelle, Walton Chapman, Ed Clausen, Phil Houliston, Otis Horn, Joe Lawler, Maurice Lierz, Horace Manzanares, Richard Mares, Doug Peterson, Bull Sauter, Wayne Vann, Wally Weld, Herman Wisenteiner, Wayne Badsgard and Ella Badsgard, president of the Womens Division. City financial ills cited The legislative Local Government Needs Committee heard officials of municipalities tell of their traditional shortage of funds Thursday and got some suggestions on how to remedy the shortage.

Santa Fe City Councilman Clarence Porky Lithgow told the committee that budget requests this year exceeded city revenue by $1.5 million. Touching on the recent resignations of seven policemen, Lithgow told the comhnittee that We have had a large turnover within our police department due to the unavailability of finances to pay these people a decent salary. Lithgow, chairman of the councils finance committee, also said that the city is 20 short of the number of policemen called for by national standards. If you should need assistance from our police department, he told the legislators aUhe state capitol, and their response is not as quick as you would like it to be, please remember thalm Older to balance our budget we had to cut $213,000 from their budget request this year." Lithgow added that As you drive the streets of Santa Fe, you can see and feel the consequences of having to cut budget requests so drastically Lithgow told the legislative members that they are caught between your fellow legislators on the one hand and the needs of the municipalities on the other in carrying out their job. Lithgow asked the committee to recommend to the legislature a statewide referendum to let the citizens decide if part of the (state) surplus taxes they have paid should be returned to their municipalities.

Another suggested referendum also certain to be met by state legislative resistance was mentioned at the session. This suggested referendum, which has been endorsed by the New Mexico Municipal League, would have the voters decide whether 10 per cent of the state income tax should be returned each year to municipalities. Santa Fe City Manager Philip M. Baca told the legislative committee that the city will have $18 million worth of unmet needs in the next five years. Baca also urged that the legislature have a staff review of how proposed legislation will affect municipalities.

Baca noted that many municipalities, for example, cannot really comply with the toxification act because they do not have the funds. By JACK HANDEY Wayward Frisbees tossed by students at the College of Santa Fe may soon be skidding down atop the buildings of a commercial complex located on what is now campus land. Representatives of the college went before the City-County Planning Commission last night for a rezoning and disclosed that some 30 acres at the corner of Cerrillos Road and St. Michaels Drive may be leased to a developer. Were doing this only because we feel we have to do it, the president of the college, Brother Luke, told the commission.

He said the school needs the money. The Planning Commission approved the rezoning of about 6.7 acres from residential to commercial use. The 6.7-acre piece of property squares off the 30-acre parcel, the rest of which is already zoned for commercial purposes. The commission approved the rezoning on the condition that future development plans for the entire 30 acres be submitted to them for scrutiny. The rezoning has to be passed by the City Council also.

Brother Luke said the school-owned land would be reserved for a developer with a total development in mind. He and attorney Robert E. Fox, who spoke for the college before the commission, would not say exactly what type of development was planned but indicated it might be an officeshopping center venture. We do have a number of developers who are interested in this, Brother Luke said. He added that the college had turned down "dozens of offers of commercial development of the land in the past but couldnt any more for financial reasons.

Its a unique situation, said acting commission chairman Don Lithgow, noting that school ownership of the property surrounding the 6.7-acre rezoning eliminated any protesters. The commission, meeting for over four hours, only approved three of nine requests under new business. One was withdrawn, and five were tabled. Under the tabled items were a request for final plat approval of the Dale Bellamah Corporations vast La Paz subdivision and a request for the annexation of about 19 acres southwest of the ty limits.

writer dies in Tesuque One of Americas foremost travel writers, Henry P. Chapman of Tesuque, died suddenly Thursday evening. He was 58 years old. Chapman and his wife, Toni, wrote travel articles which werSyndicated in 19 national newspapers, including the Los Angeles Times, The Washington Post, The Chicago Tribune and the Toronto Star.

Tesuque was our home but the world was our beat, Mrs. Chapman said. He was past chairman of the Western Chapter of the Society of American Travel Writers and considered by those in the profession as one of the most accomplished in the field. Prior to coming to New Mexico, Chapman edited a number of magazines in New York. A book to which he and his wife contributed, The West that Nobody Knows," will be released shortly.
