The council sent the resolutions dealing with the city's cable television service to the council's cable Committee for further recommendations.

In other council business, City Councillors expressed their hope that Healy would look into the spraying of chemicals on grass and trees at the Raymond Park playlot and near the Cambridge Common soccer fields.

City Councillor Francis H. Duehay '55 said that he was concerned that "youngsters playing youth soccer were playing near treated grasses."

"The treatment of the ground should take place apart and away from the playgrounds," Duehay said.

Duehay added, "The Recreation Department and the Health Department need to get together and make sure that the [chemical] treatment....has plenty of time to dry, so that there is no health hazard whatsoever."

However, Healy said that the chemicals pose "no serious or long-lasting health risks" to the children playing near the sprayed fields.

The council also recommended that Healy look into establishing an official Cambridge Pedestrian Advisory Committee. "We need a strong voice for people walking," City Councillor Kathleen L. Born said.

And Cambridge Vice-Mayor Sheila T. Russell said the Committee would be especially important to the senior citizens of Cambridge.

"They really have serious problems in getting around the city," Russell said.
