Protest Follows Transportation Decision By Chamber of Commerce
The Harvard Area Chamber of Commerce unanimously condemned the Stile Railroad decision granting Key System augmented service through San Lorenzo and Castro Valley. They urge the Railroad Commission to review as inadequate and unfair, arguing that only a fuller integrated system benefits both residential and industrial development and that the current ruling expands a transportation monopoly. The group asserts the Warren plan is feasible with proper schedules and criticizes the commission for not fully evaluating operating profitability.
