Borough Council considered a letter
from counsel representing Mr. and

Road, stating they wished to estab-
lish a small confectionery store,
with some groceries, at that address
which lies between Elizabeth and
Jackson Streets.
Council referred this to the prop-

calls for a variance with the zoning
law.

to groups for religious, political, or
propaganda meetings.

Question Hang
As Cablemen Posit 30 Days Study
Frenchise No “Must,”
But Still In View
President of Back Mountain Tele-
cable and his lawyer told Borough
| Council this week that the cable TV
| company was ‘not necessarily seek-
| ing” an exclusive franchise on its
proposed operation in Dallas, but
| it would like one.
Atty. Theodore Krohn then sug-
| gested that thirty days would be
| adequate time for the council to
decide whether or not to grant a
| permit for operation, even if a fran-
| chise did not enter the picture.
Atty. Robert Fleming, Borough
| solicitor, said the fact that the
| cablemen were asking council's per-
| mission to do business in the bor-
{ ough implied that they wanted a
franchise.
Krohn came up with the some-
what startling observation that
Council's permission may not even
be necessary, and the cable could
do business without it, unless Bor-
ough had power of regulation by its
In any
case, Krohn said, the cable prefer-
red to operate with Council's sanc-
tion.
The agreeability of the cablemen
to ‘reason together,” as President
Johnson would say, came as a mild
surprise to Council and the handful
of spectators attending. It had been
assumed that the meeting would be
a melee of charges, counter-charges,
TV cameras, and angry citizens, as
a result of the recent Nanticoke
debacle.
Instead, the Council came away
from the meeting with the feeling
that the matter could be settled in
an honorable fashion. To the Dallas
Post, however, one source close to
Council sentiment said: ‘‘they’ll
never get an exclusive franchise.”
Mayor Thomas Morgan asked

ployee of WBRE, also.
Outlined by Matthew Gillis, presi-
dent of the Telecable, was the struc-
ture of the company and officers.
It is a family enterprise, Mr. Gillis
explained, and named officers on
request of Council. (See Lehman
story, this page.)
The company will merely amplify
and relay signals, from its receiver
in Dallas Township, he said. System
does none of its own initial broad-
casting, and plans to sell no ad- |
vertising, he said. Twelve avail- |
able channels will include the three |
local channels, several from New |
York, and educational channel, and |
programs from Baltimore and Wash-
ington for sports. There could be |
a $10 installation charge, with $5 |
or $6 dollars rental monthly.
Krohn added that Herman Balti- |
|
more, of Dallas, originally a stock- |
holder, has since withdrawn his in- |
terest. |

Mrs. Turner asked if the Back
Mountain Telecable Company could |

it sought to do. Basically, the ex-

relay and amplify existing broad-
casts, including local stations, ed-
ucational channels, and programs
