Southwestern Bell Telephone Company district manager N. K. Haverstock says the Hearne city council rate schedule is inadequate and would put the company in the red by about five thousand dollars yearly. A traffic study at the Hearne switchboard will determine local versus long distance usage, with a updated local operations statement to be provided to the council for further consideration. Costs of materials and wages have risen, influencing the company's stance.
