City Council to Consider Franchise For Television Here
Myrtle Point may seek a television franchise as Carl Hooker plans TV for Coquille. He will apply for a franchise at the next regular meeting and council likely will grant processing authority. Mrs. Mabel Laird again urged opposition to the proposed street improvement in District 3, and the council explained positions while delaying action until questions end. Thirty two property owners signed a remonstrance petition at city hall, and officials will weigh whether this blocks the project. Art Henry of Superior Cheese urged action as a new city ordinance to regulate the plant is drafted to address the issue.
