DALLAS — The head of a
company that holds the cable
television franchise for Dallas
asked Monday for a subscriber
rate increase and permission to
cut the number of local access
channels it must provide.
Drew Lewis, who resigned as
President Reagan’s administra
tor of the Federal Aviation
Administration to become chair
man of Warner Amex Cable
Communications Inc., said with
out changes in the contract the
company will have no opportun
ity to recoup its investment dur
ing the 15-year life of the fran
chise.
Warner Amex did not specify
the size of rate increase it wants
or how many public access chan
nels it would trim.
Lewis went to Milwaukee last
week and told city leaders there
that Warner Amex wants to
build a 54-channel one-way sys
tem instead of the 108-channel
two-way system it originally
agreed to build.
Industry leaders have said
the actions by Warner Amex —
, jointly owned by Warner Com-
, munications and American Ex-
, press — reflect a national trend
of problems in metropolitan
cable systems.
At a news conference with
Lewis, Dallas Mayor Starke
Taylor said he would appoint
three members of the City
Council to a task force to meet
with Warner Amex officials and
consider their requests.
Bill Morgan, a member of the
Dallas Cable Board which over
sees the system for the city gov
ernment, said, “I could think of
no worse time to ask to cut ser
vices and increase rates than
right now. That’s awful poor
timing.
“He (Lewis) said there will he
no lessening of services. But if
they cut the number of channels
it is, of course, de facto lessening
of services.”
Lewis said Warner Amex to
date has invested $150 million in
the Dallas cable system and has
62,000 subscribers. He said con
struction is more than a year
ahead of schedule with 2,800
miles built.
However, Lewis asked that a
different formula for extension
of service be allowed in remain
ing unserved areas with low re
sidential densities. Again, he was
not specific.
“Further, we propose that the
city confirm our view that con
struction of remaining apart
ment units be based on agree
ments with the owners to assume
installation costs or provide for
bulk-billing to all residents,”
Lewis said.

“The low tornado death rate
in 1983 can be attributed in part
to the lack of major, killer torna

Otsby, director of the National
Severe Storms Forecast Center
in Kansas City, Mo.
Texas led the nation in 1983
with seven tornado deaths.
Louisiana had five, Florida four
and New York and Alabama had
three deaths each. Two tornado
fatalities were recorded last year
in Delaware, Illinois and Ohio,
while Kansas, Michigan, Mis
