Cable TV Pact Near In Newark The Newark city council reviewed the list of possibilities for a cable television (CATV) system for Newark last night and possibly edged closer to agreement with Fremont on the hiring a CATV consultant.

In a worksession prior to the regular council meeting, councilmen agreed that no demand for CATV had been expressed by Newark citizens. However, there were different nterpretations of the significance of the lack of public outcry. Councilman James Balentine, argued that there is no demand )ecause there is no local cable television to be demanded. BALENTINE SAID that he would be willing to hire a consultant on the question with the contingency that the consultant would be paid only if Newark adopted a CATV system. councilman Dean Campbell and an associate in he CATV firm of Mascom, said he council was "short-sighted" basing arguments against CATV on present adequate television reception in Newark.

Campbell said that the council was failing to consider the possible educational benefits of two CATV channels that would be left open for public use.

SHE IS the lirst woman to For Fremont Explained An extensive report on teacher-student ratios in Fremont schools was presented point by point to school board members a i regular meeting Wednesday night.
