Municipal Television Service. A Closed Circuit Television Network

摘要

In an attempt to establish better communication and greater cooperation among local, state and Federal government officials in the tri-state area, the Metropolitan Regional Council, Inc., proposes to construct and operate a closed circuit television network connecting major urban and suburban municipalities. The network will serve as a vehicle for bringing together not only the elected officials of the region but department heads as well. Regular meetings will be held between local, state and Federal officials to discuss common problems and develop unified approaches to solving them. Training of municipal employees will also be conducted on the network. The facilities are planned for 24-hour use, including the instructional television needs of the many educational institutions contained in the area. In addition to creating improved communication and greater cooperation among government officials, the system will also be made available to community groups and professional organizations for joint regional meetings. Included among this group would be the region's anti-poverty agencies, educational administrators and school boards, medical and dental societies, bar associations, legal aid groups, etc. (Author)
