Dear Mr, Editgr: Through the medium of your paper, I would like to make a few comments regarding the public forum held on Monday, December 8th, The people at- tended ‘that meeting to hear the candidatés, and to assess their qualifications before the coming election, and also to question them on various civic affairs, The TV controversy being one of the big issues did not re- ceive proper clarification, so I wish to state a few true facts ‘to you and your readers, which) were also presented in a brief to the Village Commission on December 2nd. . As the Village Commission- ers are well aware, this TV pro- plemi has been kicked around like .|a football far too long, and to say the least has been very bad- ly mishandled from the start. #f it is allowed to continue, it can only lead to one thing, a disas-} _ trous chaos. Ten months ago the village of Castlegar received a letter from the B.C. Telephone Co. stating that there was not suf- ficient population in this area to warrant two TV cable systems,, and after two motions in council motion with certain provisions, Had the commission stood firm on their original motion, as the Village of Kinnaird has done, then this drastic state of affairs A. EREMENKO and Co. : ao 2 Frayinos9y TERRA vy Vietarta, ByC. qould never have been and if they had assessed and investi- gated the legality and operations of both companies more thor- oughly, an impartial ,board’s de- cision from an outside source should never have been neces-. sary. Three proposals have been recently put forth for our com- pany to buy out the underground system, which could not be con- sidered due to legal technicali- ties and Government restrictions, Our system uses the most moder approved equipment and mater- Yals' throughout, and has been duly passed and approved by the Department of ‘Transport, and ,the Electrical Energy De- partment. To avoid . any further con- fliction .or dissention with the Village, we Kin-Gar Video Ltd. are prepared’ to offer ‘our ‘ry system for sald’ to” any company or corporation so. interested. Thanking you: Mr. Editor, Kin-Ger Video Limited, Mgr. K. Rolph.
