L___� <br />M <br />Chairman Lyons noted that the Board members only <br />received these figures last night and have had no time to <br />analyze them. He again stated that he did not feel the <br />Board has been supplied sufficient information to give an <br />intelligent reply, and he was disappointed and a little bit <br />insulted that this has been handled as it has. <br />Victor Hart of Gifford did believe Jones <br />Intercable is trying to improve the situation, but stated <br />that he would be disturbed if the Commission granted a rate <br />increase based on the information presented tonight. He <br />also emphasized that it is the service that is the problem, <br />not the amount of the rate increase, and believed that is <br />everyone's complaint. <br />Chairman,Lyons asked for a show of hands to indicate <br />that the people would not object to a rate increase if the <br />service were improved and all present raised their hands. <br />Mrs. Verney stated that she would have to have better <br />service before she would approve any increase, and she felt <br />canceling their franchise would not be a bad idea. <br />Commissioner Scurlock stated that he did not feel he <br />was in any different position tonight than he was back in <br />July, and he would like to see some satisfaction in the <br />community and more financial information before he would be <br />willing to vote for a rate increase. He wished to see a <br />specific program outlined for improvement. <br />Chairman Lyons felt Jones Intercable has indicated that <br />they have a program for improvement, but he also wished to <br />have something concrete to demonstrate this and stated he <br />would not vote for any rate increase until he could have the <br />people tell him they have satisfactory service. <br />Clifford Rice commented that he had pictures on his set <br />of varying quality, but about a month ago, they lost Channel <br />2, and he wished to know if this was taken away from all <br />subscribers. If it was, he felt this is less service than <br />they have been getting. <br />01 <br />9 <br />OCT 15 1981 MOK 47 P,,,E 759 <br />I <br />
