An old question was brought up, that of the city being asked to do grading on private prop exiy, or to open or improve pri vate driveways. It was the opinion of the council that this was not warranted under the law and city ordinances. It was stated by Mayor Rogers that private contractors charged $10 an hour for a bulldozer and one man, and those seeking to have their private driveways worked over, should secure this assis tance as the city could not do this work. The matter of the rock that ( was piled along North 10th street, many weeks ago, was brought up and it wTas stated that these would be hauled away by the contractors on the paving, and placed in places over the city where needed. The council voted to author ize City Clerk Albert Olson to get in touch with the Henning sen Engineering Co., at Omaha to arrange for the equalization of paving districts, as many of the districts have never been equalized, and residents are de sirious of paying their amounts and saving interest charges. The city council received a communication from ' the state department of highways and irrigation, on work on project SF-19902 that the state had paid to the Northern Construc tion Co., the sum of $13,931.46, and billing the city for the sum of $5,572.58, or eighty per cent of one-half of the cost.

The answer is "No!" '"Will present sets be usable if additional channels are pro vided in the future?" The an swer is "Yes!" In support of these facts, Mr. Wayne Coy, Chairman of FCC, stated on March 23, 1949: "There is no proposal to eli minate or discard the use of the present twelve television chan nels ... of the VHF (verv hieh frequency) band. Obviously, tnereiore, present television sets available on the market will get service from these channels continuously." "I can assure everyone that wherever a television sienal is available from a VHS present service transmitter, their set will render fine service for many years and can be converted to renaer line service from them if ultra high frequencies (UHF) are utilized for the present sys tem. The new UHF stations and sets are still in the laboratory. "I would have no hesitancy today in buying a television re ceiver. I would not wrait until the FCC has decided what they were going to do about the UHF (ultra high frequency) channels because that may be some time off and more than that, the time required to de velop transmitters and new re ceivers after such a decision is made means that a considerable length of time will have elapsed before I could get any service from a UHF station." "Until the Commission makes a decision the radio manufac turing industry cannot know, with any degree of certainty, what kind of receivers to make for the future. We, at the Com misison, cannot rush scientific development. Experimental op erations are needed of UHF sets and stations and develop ment of tubes which will give the power needed to get large area coverage in the UHF fre quencies and the development of real power for these frequen cies is still in laboratories." Present sets can be converted for new channels ! ! "If an owner of a television set. tunned to VHF frequencies wants service from the future new UHF stations badly enough, ne can make his present receiv er render service by the addi tion of a piece of equipment known as a converter." "American television today is performing a valuable service. The system as now set up is po tentially capable of serving many millions of Americans and most of the metropolitan areas."
