NOTICE
to Customers
f
Hay Municipal Telephone System
Since the birth of the Hay Municipal Telephone
System in 1911, the officers and employees of the
System have endeavoured to provide the best poss-
ible service available to it's customers and our aim
is to continue improving telephone service with the
interests of our customers in mind.
Our construction program for the next ten-year
period includes numerous cable programs ; whereby
old lines will be replaced by new underground cables;
new cables installed will enable us to provide extend-
ed area service to neighbouring communities as war-
ranted; additional office equipment will have to be
installed to meet the requirements of old and new
customers and in some instances extensions to ex-
isting buildings will have to be made, all of which
will exceed a cost of $250,000.00.
The proposed construction program will take place
in all three exchanges of the System, namely Dash-
wood, Grand Bend and Zurich and we are certain
the proposed programs will benefit all our subscr-
ibers, however, in order to help us achieve our goals
it has become necessary to take a look at our rate
structure. Our rate structure has not changed since
our exchanges were converted from manual oper-
ation to dial operation and since the material req-
uired in our construction program is increased in
cost; we feel a rate increase at this time can be
justified. The rate increases we propose are in line
with the major telephone companies.
Application has been made to the Ontario Teleph-
one Service Commission for authority to make the
following charges for telephone service effective
July lst, 1971.

scriber.
This application will be heard before the Commis-
sion at its next regular meeting in Toronto. Any re-
presentations to be made to the Commission with
respect to this application should, therefore, be sub-
mitted on or before May 31st, 1971, and addressed
to The Chairman, Ontario Telephone Service Comm-
ission, Department of Agricuture and Food, Parlia-
ment Buildings, Toronto 2, Ontario.
If you desire any further information in reference
to the need for increasing the telephone rates, you
may apply to the undersigned either personally, by
telephone, or by letter.
