Cable
(Continued from page 1)
Media. Tom Keaveney, president of
Dallas Cablevision, has already for-
warded information to Potzer and
meetings should be scheduled
shortly.
“From what I understand, this is
a small company compared to Cen-
tury,” Potzer explained. ‘But unlike
Century, who also deals in insur-
ance, this company is strictly in the
cable TV business and they have a
very good reputation. They service
a high tech area out at State Col-
lege, and people that I've talked to
say they are a reputable outfit.
Potzer said all the leg work has
already been done as far as specifi-
cations and where the lines would
have to be run, and that, hopefully,
there wouldn’t be much more, if
any, time delay in installing the
system.
“The ordinance is already writ-
ten. All we have to do is amend it
for a new company,” Potzer noted.
“But we remain committed to get-
ting cable television to the outlying
areas. That’s our number one objec-
tive.”
Flood
(Continued from page 1)
and that he spoke on behalf of the
bill on the Senate floor.
The Senate initially amended the
bill to provide $20 million in aid, but
on Wednesday was amended again
by the Appropriations Committee to
allocate only $15 million for victims.
The bill was changed to some
extent from its original form, with
assistance now being extended to
Tornado as well as flood victims.
Many individuals suffering losses
were not adequately covered by
private insurance and federal pro-
grams. Now, with the help of the
newly passed legislation, they will
receive additional aid to supplement
their compensation.
“This was our first opportunity to
vote on a realistic and considered
piece of legislation and we have
done so promptly. I have been
unwavering in my commitment
during this period of intense nego-
tiation to seeing that help is pro-
vided to the residents of Northeast
Pennsylvania and those in other
areas of the state.”
The grants would cover losses to
personal property but not for items
used for recreation.
