Charles M. Dickson, for the San Antonio Utilities League, urged Mayor G. M. Chambers and city commissioners to apply to the Reconstruction Finance Corporation for a $2,500,000 loan to build a municipal telephone system to compete with Southwestern Bell. He argued the loan would be self liquidating and create about 5000 jobs for a year, with residence rates at $2.60 and business lines at $6 monthly. The old manual system would be easier to adapt, he claimed, and the city would be required by state law to connect long distance to other providers. Chambers said he would consider the proposal.
