Join RED CROSS 5 YEARS f/u' job VOLUME 97 TV Cable Causes Caldwell Council To Take Action County Polio Fund Tops $2,990.19 For Final Tabulation The 22 citizens of the village of Caldwell who converged on the city hall to either register a complaint or to regard! the Caldwell TV cable system a necessity for favorable re-l ception, drew a bye with both forces of thought arriving at a happy conclusion and dispersing in rather a jovial mood. Meeting in special session Monday night, council again was faced with the harassing situation, interference on TV sets, where previous to the in stallation of the cable, recep tion was believed to be fairly good. The special meeting last Fri day night brought the axe on full time reception to TV cable customers. Since Saturday, the cable has been permitted to operate only on a limited schedule. At Monday night's meeting council reversed themselves and by resolution unanimously voted to reinstate the cable service on a full time basis for the next two weeks. In the meantime, however, a letter is to be forwarded to the Federal Communication Com mission, Detroit, Mich., request ing that an investigation be made of the Caldwell TV cable installation.

Drilling to the Clinton sand, a depth of approximately 5600 feet, the show of oil was none too encouraging. However, if the appearance of the sand was an indication of the availability of oil, it would definitely prove a positive factor. The well was completed to the Clinton sand last week and with the poor showing of oil it was decided to fracture the well, hoping for additional results in oil production. Tuesday, the well failed to respond in any appreciable amount to increased production. A great deal of speculation has been centered around this drilling venture 2nd from in formation made available to the press the operation could deter mine the fate of future drilling in the area, especially to deep sands.
