After Visit
Vero Beach, T 1 a. U.R
Mayor Norris Poulson headed
back to Los Angeles today with
the news the Brooklyn Dodgers
may not be far behind.
"Vim are optimistic as a result
of our visit," said Poulson after
a fou hour meeting with Dodger
President Walter O'Malley. "We
G want major league ball in Los
Angeles and we want the
Dodgers."
Poulson, who met with Brook'
lyn -officials "to test Mr. O'Mal
ley's sincerity," added, "I don't
think New York will solve the
Dodgers' problem and I believe
we will propose a comprehensive
program the Dodgers can't re
sist.
Maw StaeUus
The mayor and hla group told
O'Malley and his top lieutenants
Qhat Los Angeles could supply
the Dodgers with a "brand new
stadium" seating about 60,000
"one year from the day we get
the okay for a move to the
coast."
Poulson's group presented the
Dodgers with a plan to clear
Chavez Ravine, a mile from
downtown Los Angeles, at a cost
of about $1.5 million and then
construct a stadium for about
$7.5 million. The experts estt
mated it would take about 60
days to clear the ravine and ap
proximately 10 months to build
the stadium.
Such a stadium, incidentally,
would give the Dodgers the larg
est seating capacity in the Na
tional league.
