United Press International DALLAS — A curfew must be placed on some night flights at Love Field, reports a team of con sulting firms hired by the city to study the noise problem at the controversial airport. With a total curfew at night, “the noise (problem) would im prove significantly, but the econo mic dislocations would be se vere,” the consultants reported Friday. Instead, they recommended a curfew be placed on aircraft flying in and out of Love Field at night — eventually covering flights from 10 p.m. to 7 a.m. “It is proposed that a more moderate approach to night noise be adopted through limiting night use to aircraft that can meet speci fied noise limits,” the consultants reported. The curfew would go into effect over a 5-year period, beginning with a midnight-to-6 a.m. curfew in January 1983, an 11 p.m.-to-7 a.m. curfew in January 1985 and the 10 p.m.-to-7 a.m. curfew in January 1986. The noise limits for night air craft operations would not begin until 1983 to allow “a breathing space that would permit (airline companies) to meet the restric tion” by buying quieter airplanes, modifying their existing fleets or rearranging schedules. The Dallas City Council has wrestled for years with the prob lem of weighing powerful corpo rate interests in any restrictions against the opinions nearby resi dents, many who strongly object to the constant whine of jets flying over their homes at low levels. Under the team’s preliminary recommendations, 50 to 60 per cent of the airport’s corporate tenants would have to operate elsewhere.

In presenting a status report on the exposition, Spurney said he told federal officials about the cre dit guarantee, leasing of land for the fair, completion of a master plan for the exposition and near completion of an environmental impact statement on how the fair will affect New Orleans. A group of banks from across the nation was pulled together for the funding agreement by three New Orleans banks, Spurney said.
