TELEPHONE GROWTH
EXCEEDS POPULATION INCREASE
CO important a part does the telephone play in the
daily affairs of men, that telephones increase
much faster than the population.
The hundreds of thousands of new subscribers
added to the Bell System annually, require many
millions of dollars for switchboards, poles, wire, tele
phones and other supplies and equipment.
In order to obtain the necessary money from in
vestors to build new plant, it is essential that we
have the inspect and confidence of the public and be
able to pay expenses and earn a fair rate of return on
the value of ^ur property. *
As a telephone exchange grows, the
cost per telephone of providing service
is greater, but the value of the service
to each telephone user is also greater.
