A television repairman from Willlamstown presented to the City Council last night a complaint about television reception in the city.

It's up to you people to press this point." He did net identify who allegedly wasn't care of the system. Split Vote "The Council finally tabled the matter for two weeks so the city's legal. department could render an opinion. The vote was split, W. For awhile Council reception as to just why Mr.

Beaudreau presenting such a complaint was almost as fuzzy as the alleged poor reception on Channel 6.

Mr. Beaudreau said the interference 1 occurs in sections of ths city where, there is cable TV only.

Councillor Koloc said the implication as to the culprit was rather clear. "Definitely not," Mr. Beaudreau said, "I can't corrfemn htm openly." He did not identify "him." "How else can you luke it?" Mr. Koloc asked. Earlier Councillor Fred B.

Windover objected to the Council even considering such a matter. There had been some talk of referring the the city solicitor to determine if the Council could or should play any role. He had asked Mr. Beaudreau why he hdn't gone to the FCC, Mr. Beaudreau askaj, "Why can't we handle it ouselves?" Because it Is a highly technical mailer beyond laymen, Mr.

Windover said. "There are capable people here," Beaudreau replied. Councillor Windover said the Council shouldn't act as referee in such a dispute. Tile FCC has policing he said. Councillor Edward J.

Konopka suggested the public go to the Massachusetts Electric Co. to check it out. City Solicitor Bernard Lenhoff walked in and was asked what role, if any, the Council would have. The solicitor said he would' have to look it up. He suggested tabling for two weeks so he could render an opinion.

Qutslions Action Councillor Windover maintained the Council had no right, to even ask an opinion of the legal department simply because such an action would imply that, a condition of interference existed and is caused "by a man in business." He said the Council, composed of laymen, had no right to pass judgment on such matters. It is matter for the Federal Communications Commission, which. PARAMOUNT Phone MO 3-529S I he noted, has policing authority, "We shouldn't be fussing around with this. I don't see why we're involved," he added. Councillor Kotoc said, "I with Fritz we can't pat the bee on anyone." Councillor Donato F.

Dagnoli said that the Council should go on record "to let the FCC know that a complaint has been to us about interference and would they check it out." Mr. Windover indicated he would go along with that reasoning buy The council then moved tabling the question ior two weeks. Herringbone Patttru Mr. Beaudreau's letters to the Council said herringbone patterns were formed on video screens in area cable TV He listed Meadow, Corinth, and Ashland and "Others" as such areas. He also termed it a "public nuisance" and said that the Berkshire Chapter of the Electronic Technician's Guild (ETC) is acting as "referee."
