Long in the speculative stage, the project took definite form as city council yesterday pledged cooperation with the C. A. A.

The cost, the size, and more par. ticularly, the location, remained secret. There was nothing in a form resolution adopted by council which even hinted at any of those prime factors in the plan. City officials simply agreed to cooperate with the C. A.

Officials Confident Hesitant to discuss details of th an beyond tne contents of the esolution. members of council, how ever, indicated they were confident that the airport would soon become a reality.

It was the first move made since city officials last January announced they would sponsor the project under an initial allotment of $327,197 from the C. A. A. That figure, however, is believed to represent only a bare fraction of the cost of the project. Reliable sources have indicated that the original allotment has already been boosted beyond the million dollar mark and that eventually several million dollars will be expended for the airport.

It was understood that while no decision has been made on the location, two sites in the undeveloped wooded section that extends for several miles west of Asbury Park, arc under consideration. Members of city council said they were not at liberty to say so but it was also believed that options already have been obtained on almost all of the ground needed. Early estimates of the size of the field said it would be approximately one mile square. January reports on the plan also said that it bore the stimp of approval of the army and navy bearing out belief that the field during wartime would be used to base interceptor planes and other military equipment. When peace returns the field would then be converted to municipal operation with connections with major airlines.

The permanent ration books will replace cards that were issued to motor ve hicle owners in May. Permanent gasoline rationing becomes effective July 22. Rationing authorities emphasized today that owners of trucks and other commercial vehicles were not to apply at school and municipal building registration places for their ration books, but were to make formal application to the newly-consolidated rationing boards in any one of 17 Monmouth county towns for ration coupons based on their actual needs. Registration of passenger vehicle and motorcycle owners is to take place Thursday.

South Belmar and Sea Girt will hold registration at their boro halls, while the Allenhurst registration is to be conducted in the firemen's club on Hume street. Official Confusion Rationing board heads told The Press yesterday that so far there had been a dearth of official information on the manner of registration, some orders even being either vague or contradictory.

Every where, it will be necessary to use volunteer registrars conscripted from school teaching staffs that might be available. Parent-Teacher groups or others.
