{"value"=>"<p>Items in this section address the general operation of the Fair, with special consideration of the upkeep and protection of property, as well as matters related to public safety and welfare during the Fair period. Included are New York City Department of Public Health Reports [Public Health, M1.0] addressing plumbing, food handlers, meat inspection, and insect control in the reclaimed marshland; files on the first aid stations, which treated sprains, heat exhaustion and gastric discomfort - the latter being the most frequent Fairground malady [Medical Services, M1.02]; fire protection procedures including transcripts of a hearing that took place to investigate a warehouse fire [Fire Protection, M1.10]; and the Lost and Found files dealing both with missing property and wayward children [M1.12].</p> <p>The flow of vehicles and pedestrians through the Fair was a significant concern of Fair officials and discussions on how to alleviate congestion of walk-ways can be found under the heading of Intra-Mural Traffic [M1.42]. This unit of Central Files also contains material related to the closing of the Fair, including recommendations from the public about possible future uses for Flushing Meadow Park [M2., Demolition]; and information about the removal of sculptures and murals [M2.20, Sculpture; M2.21, Murals] can be found here.</p>"}
