<br />5 <br /> <br />TUESDAY <br /> <br />AUGUST 14, 1962 <br /> <br />,,- <br /> <br />the operation of a "CATV" service in this area would jeopardize <br /> <br />the advertising business and income of area radio stations. <br /> <br />Attorney <br /> <br />Douglas K. Frith, representing the R. S. Brown interests (including <br /> <br />theater operations), objected to the advertising and granting of <br /> <br />such a franchise on the grounds that no need for "CATV" service has <br /> <br />been demonstrated and that to grant a franchise for this service <br /> <br />would pose many problems for City Council. <br /> <br />Council agreed to with- <br /> <br />hold action on the proponent's request, pending further study. <br /> <br />Upon motion, duly seconded and unanimously carried, Council accepted <br /> <br />the following report of a Board of Viewers (consisting of Messrs. <br /> <br />J. E. Jones, R. A. Henderson, Jr., and C. C.Donovant) and adopted <br /> <br />the following resolution directing the Clerk of Martinsville City <br /> <br />Circuit Court to mark on his records "vacated and abandoned" that <br /> <br />portion of Sunset Drive lying within the corporate limits west of <br /> <br />the Winn-D~xie Store on Memorial Boulevard South: <br /> <br />TO: <br />SUBJECT: <br /> <br />THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MARTINSVILLE, VIRGINIA <br />CLOSING OF PORTION OF SUNSET DRIVE <br /> <br />The undersigned having viewed that portion of Sunset <br />Drive, which is the subject matter of a petition filed <br />before Council for the closing and abandonment of the same. <br />After having viewed said portion of Sunset Drive, it is the <br />recommendation of the undersigned that said portion of <br />Sunset Drive be vacated and abandoned. The undersigned can <br />see no inconvenience that would result from the closing of <br />said portion of Sunset Drive. <br />Respectfully submitted, this 14th day of August, 1962. <br /> <br />sl R, A.
