lieves it would be economically disastrous to al-
low a separate cable franchise for the black com-
munity located in the city's northeast quadrant.
The city’s paid cable consultant, meanwhile,
has recommended against awarding a separate
franchise in the geographic area advocated by a
group of black businessmen.
St. Louis consultant Robert Brooks was sched-
uled to arrive in Oklahoma City today with maps
he has drawn dividing the city into halves and
quarters to allow for more than one cable televi-
sion system.
In both tentative divisions, the northeast qua-
drant is lumped in with the predominantly white
areas of southeast Oklahoma City, city officials
said.
The council is expected to discuss the multiple
franchise issue Tuesday which must be resolved
before bids can be solicited from cable television
firms.
Sewer rate vote delayed
A final decision on proposed increases in munic-
ipal sewer rates has been delayed for at least one
week, city officials said today.
The delay came at the request of Ward 3 Coun-
cilman Jack Cornett, who said he desired more
time to study the possible effects of the sewer rate
hikes.
The council finance committee will take up pro-
posed changes at its meetings Friday, and a final
decision could not come before the May 30 council
session, officials said.

about. I’ll make a public announce-
ment. "
Oklahoma City officials took spe-
cial note last year of developments
in Columbus, Ohio, when that city’s
Union Station Arcade, also a Nation-
al Register site, was razed. The
demolition caused immediate can-
cellation of a $6.24 million federal
grant for a new convention center.
Union Station was built in 1930-
31, and opened with elaborate cere-
monies in July. 1931. The building
has 20 foot vaulted ceilings, solid
masonry walls almost two feet
thick, massive ceiling beams of
poured concrete, intricately deco-
rated. Walls and floors are solid
marble and granite, and original
chandeliers, weighing about 900
pounds, remain in place.
Also known as Chief's Knoll, the
Fort Sill cemetery has been in use
since 1869, and is the final resting
place for hundreds of militarymen,
early civilian army workers, Indi-
ans and Indian scouts Among them
are the famous Comanche, Parker;
his white mother, Cynthia Ann Par-
ker; Chief Satank, also known as Sit-
ting Bear, and Kicking Bird, a
Kiowa.
historic designation
By Mary Je Nelsen
The long-abandoned Oklahoma
City Union Station has been official-
ly recognized as a national historic
site. Dr. Harry Deupree, Oklahoma
preservation officer, announced
today.
The building’s listing in the Na-
tional Register of Historic Places
came as a contract for the build-
ing's sale was verified by a Rock Is-
land Railroad official in Chicago.
National Register status was
made known at the same time for
the Post Cemetery, Quanah Parker s
burial place at Fort Sill, Dr. Deu-
pree said.
The stone and marble train sta
tion at 300 SW 7 is jointly owned by
Rock Island and Frisco Railroads,
and has been deserted since 1967,
when passenger service was termi-
” nated.
Owen Thompson, Rock Island
spokesman in Chicago, confirmed
that a contract has been signed for
sale of the tile-roofed building with
its distinctive tower. But he refused
to disclose any other information.
Thurman Magbee, head of a devel-
opment and investments firm re-
ported to be the buyer, would only

Groves, however, said he is strongly opposed ti
dividing the city into more than two separata
franchise areas.
He said more franchises probably would lead to
higher subscriber rates because of certain "fixed?
costs that remain the same no matter how large 4
franchise area is. »
Assistant city manager Scott Johnson said
Brooks has recommended slicing the city int$
halves along a north south line that runs basically
up Pennsylvania Avenue.
