Christopher delays cable hike request in Christoper
The April 5 city council meeting will consider a rate hike sought by Jones Intercable Inc after the company delays in extending service to Steinmetz and Simion subdivisions. Division Manager Willie Horton pushes a $1 monthly increase from 7 to 8 to offset costs, while aldermen demand a written agreement with start and completion dates. Other towns hesitate, Benton may act in March, and Buckner has approved the increase. Mayor Regis appointed Judi Hudgens to the zoning board and Tom Stephens to the planning commission. LPS Associates explores a Sohio Foundation grant for a new city hall fire station complex as no state or federal funds are available.
