This speculation apparently has been stimulated by the recent advertising and solici tation campaign by 1 of 4 present applicants. The Board of Works has no control over any solicitation campaign. We should like, however, to make it perfectly clear to those who are. being asked to subscribe now for CATV servide that no franchise for CATV has been issued by the City of Richmond. It also should be clear that under the law no franchise can be issued until a public hearing by the Board of Works and confirmation by Council. A public hearinm is now scheduled for 10:00 a.m. March 24, 1966 at which time all citizens and applicants will be heard. There has been no rejection or approval of any apolicant. There are presently 4 applicants and there may be more. Until a non-exclusive franchise agreement or agreements are issued by the Board of Works and approved by Council, no one is in a position to deliver the intended service. /s/ Edward L.
