The mayor said that the negotiated between the city land Denver-based United Cable Television Corporation calls for the city to be paid a franchise fee of approximately 5 percent of the system's annual gross receipts.

President Reagan is expected shortly to sign into law a bill that includes a provision excusing the city from paying off the debt, Timothy Coyle, a deputy assistant secretary of the U.S.

Department of Housing and Urban Development, said yesierday. Although the administration opposes that provision, which also would absolve the city of Denver from a similar debt of $25 million, Mr. Coyle said the measure contains other sections considered so valuable to HUD programs that the president is willing to take the loss. "Congress won," he acknowledged, "and those two cities won." "We're delighted," said Stephen D. Kaiser, a spokesman for Baltimore's Neighborhood Progress Administration, which was technically the debtor.

"We never thought we should have to pay that back, anyway." It took Senator Paul S. Sarbanes (D, Md.) two attempts to clarify the situation, however, before the dunning letters stopped, and in the delayed process HUD lost the $25 million to Denver. HUD had provided the $16.3 million to Baltimore in 1979 on an emergency basis to finish four urban renewal projects, including three near Harborplace. City officials acknowledge there was an initial understanding that the money would be paid back from profits on the eventual sale of land in those areas to private developers. But they say their understanding changed last year when Senator Sarbanes persuaded Congress to add to an omnibus spending bill a stipulation that the city could keep the money if it were reinvested in similar renewal efforts.

HUD countered that the Sarbanes amendment was "technically deficient," making its meaning unclear and thus unenforceable. By mid-July, the federal officials had already made several attempts through letters and phone calls to claim the money from the city.

According to Jerome B. Richman, who represents the Tarquinios, the new fence line cut off part of the backyard deck the Tarquinios had built as well as the annuals and perennials they had planted on what they thought was their property. The agreement on the visitation rights saved one or two days of court time and was "a way of keeping the peace and status quo" by lawyers representing the Tarquinios and their Westport lane neighbors, Mark and Kimberly Lamb, plant visits are allowed from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m.

The Tarquinios will be allowed into their neighbor's yard through a gate on the side yard, where a fence is to be built The Tarquinios also will be permitted to remove any annuals, such as the begonias, and tend the rose bushes and evergreens. In case of inclement weather on Sunday mornings, the two parties have agreed to "be flexible on arranging other times." The thorny issue arose in August when a until the suit is litigated, Mr. Richman said. He said the Tarquinios, who moved into the Crofton home they purchased for $90,000 in August, 1982, "did not want to file suit against their neighbors, but it was the only way to protect their interest." In their suit, the Tarquinios contend that the home builder, the Richards Group of Washington, misrepresented the property line to them.

It is an allegation the home-buildtr denies. Once the fence was moved reducing by 180 square feet the Tarquinios small property their 20 shrubs, rose bushes and begonias ended up in the neighboring yard. Michael J.

It appears he will use Social Security cuts to reduce the deficit Some of the people are really worried about that," he said. 1 Mr. Lyte and about 100 other seniors waited to hear the Democratic message yesterday from a team of top elected officials in Maryland.

Seka looks a little like Tuesday Weld with a Rod Stewart haircut. Kay Parker could be somebody's glamorous mom getting the school-kids together for morning car pool. They are stars in the billion dollar hard-core pornographic movie industry. "Not pornographic," says Parker, 40, auburn-haired. "Murder, robbery, vandalism that's pornography.

Two consenting adults having sex? That's erotic. I put integrity and love into my work. I'm only interested in films with character, with depth. I'm an actress." Uh, OK. Kay Parker's films have names like "Seven into Snowy" and "Dracu-la Erotica," "I Want To Be Bad" and "Taboo." Seka's movies have spawned entire sideline professions for her.

The raincoat crowd doesn't exist much any more. Most have bought videocassette recorders and rent the tapes and watch them at home with their wives.

"Guys you're dating?" "Guys I'm out with for the night. I mean, I am a single woman." All of this begs the main question, however: What do their mothers think about what they do for a living?
