SUGGESTED THAT WE ALLOW JONES INTERCABLE POSSIBLY 90, 120 OR 180 DAYS <br />TO TRY TO CLEAR UP THIS PROBLEM AND CONTINUE THE PUBLIC HEARING UNTIL <br />THAT TIME. <br />COMMISSIONER SCURLOCK AGREED WITH THIS SUGGESTION AND <br />FURTHER FELT THAT THE MIDDLE OF THE SUMMER IS NOT THE MOST APPROPRIATE <br />TIME TO HEAR A RATE INCREASE. <br />COMMISSIONER WODTKE DISCUSSED THE FINANCIAL FIGURES PRE- <br />SENTED BY .JONES INTERCABLE, NOTING THAT SINCE .TUNE OF 1980 THROUGH <br />DECEMBER OF 1900 THEY HAVE INVESTED $211E,000 EXTRA CAPITAL. HE <br />ASKED IF .JONES INTERCABLE WAS WILLING TO PUT INTO THE RECORD THEIR <br />INTENT TO IMPROVE THE SYSTEM IN THE AMOUNTS SET OUT IN THEIR REPORT - <br />$182,000 IN 1981 - $181,500 IN 1983 - $196,500 IN 198LI AND $2.07,500 <br />IN 1985; MR. COLLUSO CONFIRMED THAT IS THEIR FIVE YEAR PROJECTION. <br />COMMISSIONER WODTKE STATED THAT HE IS AS CONCERNED AS ALL <br />THE REST ABOUT IMPROVEMENT IN THE SYSTEM AND WOULD LIKE TO GIVE <br />.JONES INTERCABLE AN OPPORTUNITY TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEMS THAT HAVE <br />BEEN PRESENTED TONIGHT.

COLLUSO STATED THAT THEY HAVE PROBABLY INCREASED BY <br />300-400 CUSTOMERS, UP TO 2,800, BUT THIS DROPS OFF DURING THE SUMMER <br />MONTHS BY ABOUT 257. <br />COMMISSIONER BIRD WISHED -TO KNOW HOW THEY CHOSE THE COMPA- <br />NIES USED IN THEIR RATE COMPARISON CHARTS, AND MR. COLLUSO STATED THAT <br />IT WAS BASED ON COMPARABLE SIZE, RECEPTION AREA, NUMBER OF CHANNELS, <br />ETC. <br />COMMISSIONER BIRD ALSO FELT ,JONES INTERCABLE IS TRYING TO <br />DEMONSTRATE IMPROVEMENT IN THE SYSTEM, BUT APPARENTLY THERE ARE <br />RESERVATIONS HERE TONIGHT ABOUT WHETHER IMPROVEMENTS ARE BEING MADE <br />AND POSSIBLY IF WE CAME BACK TO THIS IN 90 OR MORE DAYS, THEY WOULD <br />NOT HAVE THESE NEGATIVE RESPONSES.
