The project has been divided Into three phases. For the first. Initial design and development, the AEC has been asked to contribute a maximum of t2.2H.0oo.

Roman Relic Repair Adds To Long Life ROME I - The Eternal City ancient Arch ef Constantine I considered good for another thou sand years now, thsnks to a 20th century repair job. The 1, 176-year-old Colosseum grandest of all Rome's monu ments, is being braced piece by piece for a rebuilding operation that may go on for years. Workmen soon will begin brac ing the massive, 145-foot column of Antonlus, erected y the Em peror Marcus Aurelius in the Ind century to commemorate his vie. tones in battle. Modern times, which brought the vibrations of heavy traffic, have sped the wear and tear on the antiquities of Rome. Rome's department of arts and monu ments observed Sunday the pound of traffic is worse than the rav ages of weather, wars snd years. That's why the 4th century Arch of Corfstantine, bne of the best pre served triumphal arches in the world, was put in splints. Holes were bored through loos ened blocks of granite in a year long operation and metal braces bolted In. To preserve appearances, the holes were pluggi'd with bits of granite: The Arch commemorates Emperor Constantine s victory ov er Msxentius in 31 A.D., when Cor.tantine declared for Christi anity. An official said: "The arch should be good for another 1.000 yi rs now." t An internal metal skeleton will be built lo brace the column of Antonius. standing near the cen ter of Rome in the Piazza Colon' na. " The column, with its spirsled decorations. Is built of a number of circular, hollow marble blocks, stacked on top of one another like empty barrels. The shell is 29 in ches thick. Repairs -on-the Colosseum be gan eight months ago to secure heavy stones shaken loose by traf fic. A main traffic artery sur rounds the structure. Two-thirds of the Colosseum has disappeared over the centuries, aftc- damage by lightning and earthquakes and scavenging of stones to build palaces and churches. The plan now Is to restore the Colosseum completely. s Romans mind well a saying of 7th century pilgrims: "While stands the Colosseum, Rome shall stand. "When falls'- the Colosseum, Rome shall fall. "And when Rome falls, with shall faU the world." Bus Hauling Ball Team Flips; 10 Hurt WALSENBURG. Colo.
