Airing of Complaints on Hayward Telephone Rates
The Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Company presented its case to Railroad Commissioner Richard E. Mikelataedt in Hayward city hall amid complaints from San Lorenzo Village subscribers. Arnold Cassidy testified that subscriber growth in Hayward is eight to one since 1920, rates have not changed since 1919, and extended service tariffs set in 1938. Cassidy outlined expansion plans including Decoto, Hayward, Trinidad and Alvarado exchanges, public booths, and elimination of extended service charges. He noted rising labor costs lowering earnings, a surge in service demand, and 3,387 applications on hand for new phones, with operator count increasing from 43 to 117 since 1940 and the Lucerne exchange to cost about $2,000,000. The commission will issue a decision later after reviewing the survey of the phone situation. Milford Sanford, San Lorenzo Village city manager, accused the company of bleeding ratepayers with a 15 cent call rate to downtown Oakland and implicitly opposing Hayward area expansion.
