~ n TUESDAY MAY 10, 1966 - ordinance inviting CATV franchise bids. It was pointed out, however, that the franchise holder has been unable to file required copies of pole attachment agreements inasmuch as the form of agreement involving City-owned poles and lines remains pending. Mr. C. Harry Anglin, t/a Clearview Cable Television Company, appeared before Council and protested proposed terms of suggested agreement for the use of the City's poles and lines; whereupon Council continued -, this matter for further study, pending additional conferences between City officials and Mr. Anglin in the interest of developing agreement terms. The Reverend Duke Harrison, Priest-In-Charge of St. Paul's Episcopal Church (Mission), Martinsville, and a number of other interested citizens appeared before Council and presented a resolution requesting the appointing by Council of a "Community Action Agency" committee to function under the Federal Govern- ment's Anti-Poverty Program under guidelines established by the Virginia Office of Economic Opportunity. Council indicated that it would name such a committee not later than May 17th. Council acknowledged receipt of a certified copy--from Martinsville Corporation Court--of the abstract of votes cast in the April 19th School Bond Referendum as well as a certified copy of the Corporation Court's order confirming the results of said referendum, indicating overwhelming approval of the question voted upon.
