BoSToN. March S.-The presentation of
the case OF the American Bell Telephone
company 20: an increase OF capital
10 $50, 900, 600, to the committee on mer-
camille affairs, 10y eX-Gov. Long, brought
out some ~instructiug information regard
ing the magnitude Of the business and
the expenditures OF the company.
Coy. Long, in opening, said IL was sim
ply "A case OF a concern whose business
has so enlarged that IL needs more money.
II Is like a boy who has grown and needs
a new suit OF clothes. Previous 10 1885
the company had expended over S3l, OOO,-
600 by itself and its licensees in construct
ing lines, in materials and labor. Since
1885 II has expended in subways and ca
bles, Sl4. 5000 q in real estate, 81. 900, 600;
in aerial equipment, Sl2 800 900, "A total OF
about s43 100000. which added to the eX-
penditures PRIOR To 1855 make a total OF
about SO 10000. Not "A dollar but has
been expended in Legitimate extension of
business. The bdilding and extension of
the long distance lines mas been a source
OF great expense and $40, 900, 900 is needed
at once to complete the plans OF the com
pany IN that direction.
Some idea of the growth Of the COM
pany's business may b. gathered from the
tact that the number OF telephones in use
has grown from ; 900, when the mpa
started, To 566, OOO ut the present time. In
1884 there were 2l5, OOO. 90 talks over the
telephone; in 1923 there were 600, 900. 900.
In 1898 there were about $1,000, 900 tele-
graph messages sen over the telegraph
wires of tn Western Union company. In
the past ten years the numbe of persons
employed 10y the company has increased
from ] 100 TO 10000.
This is "A Massachusetts corporation in
which the state mould take great pride;
the directors and prominent stockholders
are men OF the highest integrity and the
commonwealth is not asked To put one
dollar into the enterprise, but simply to
allow the petitioners to place their W
funds in it. The state should not 10y a
refusal To allow the increase drive the
company 10 New York where il can in
crease its capital at will. The company
now pays the state nearly SljO,OOO ia taxes
and unde an increase would pay a still
larger sum
In speaking OF the fact that a "tele.
phone" can be bought for -. Gov. Long
said il should be remembered that when
"A person now places the little instrument
costing - to his ear, he has for the mo-
ment, not only the control OF the 8 worth
OF property, but the use of millions Of
dollars of other peoples property.
