Summary Of The American Telephone
and Telegraph Co.'S. Annual Report

long-distance lines, but not in
Guiding the connecting compan-
les, the daily average of toll con-
nectlons in 1912 was about 1885,
600, and of exchange connec-
tons about o5,572,ooo. This
compares with 81 900 and 49,
$4,000 in 1911. Speaking
broadly, this means that the daily
average of telephone conversa-
tions last year reached 6,3Io,-
600, or at the rate of about s.
472, 100000 for the year, as
against "a, 5000 in 1911,
when the rate was 7,77o,ooo,-
900 year.
Theodore n. Vail, president
of the company, gives some
highly interesting statistics COM
pairing the telephone traffic in
the United States and Europe
with the operations of the mail
and telegraph services. Taking
the last available figures-those
for the year I9II-the records
may be thus summarized:
The daily sentinel., 1913-03-19

The report just issued by the
American Telephone & Tele-
graph Company for the year
ending December 81, 1912,
shows that the telephone has be-
come in the United States, to a
greater extent than anywhere
Rise in the world, a houseohld
necessity. There are now 10000
towns, cities and hamlets from
which telephone messages may
be sent. This is 5000 more
than the number of postoffices
in the United States, 10000
more than the number of rail-
road stations and nearly three
times the number of regular tel
egraph offices. There are alto
gether 7,456,o74 telephone sta
tions in the Bell system, which is
an increase over last year of $780,
449 stations. This compares
with an increase during the pre-
vious year of 74o,9o6 stations.

mission as of January I3, last,
directing that thorough inves-

view to the making of COM
prehensive report and to the is
suance of such order, or orders,
as may be necessary to correct
such determinations and make
applicable reasonable rates and

company, as in the past, will be
to cooperate with the examiners
conducting this investigation and
to aid public officials in every
possible way in their effort to
ascertain the real facts respecting
the telephone service of the Unit
ed States. "a.
PresidentVail says in conclu-
sion:
"As to the future Of the com.
pany, it was'never brighter. Busi-
ness indications are normal, our
relations with the public and
with the public authorities on a
mutually satisfactory basis.
"1he organization on the lines
set forth in previous reports is
about complete, and the division
of the work is so clearly drawn
and so closely correlated between
the local administration of the
associated companies and the
central general administration of
the American Telephone & Tele-
graph Company that there is no
duplication of effort or conflict
in administration" [3-I9-It]

These figures show that, while
Europe has three and a half
times the telegraph traffic of
the United States and nearly
twice the flrst-class mail traffic,
it has only two-fifths of the tele-
phone traffic, owing to the
greater efficiency and distribu-
tion of the telephone in this
country.
The Bell system showed a
gross revenue = not including
that of the connected independ-
ent lines of SIoo, 200, 900.
This was gain of $2o,ooo,ooo
Dver the previous year. A very
careful appraisal, conducted by
the engineers of the physical
property of the Bell system as of
August /, last, showed that,
while the book cost was S736,-
900, 900, the cost of reproduc-
ton at that date would have been
$7o7,ooo,ooo. In other words,
the company was carrying the
property on its books at SOL,
100000 below its actual physical
value at the time of its appraisal.
In this appraisal there were in
rluded no intangible assets what
ever, such as good will, patents,
franchises, cost of developing
the business, etc. For the year
there was an increase in assets
of $92, 300, 900, of which S75,-
100000 represented current ad-
dltions to the plant, including the
necessary real estate. During
the five-year period between
1907 and 1912 the assets of tn,

BOTH PRECEPT AND EXAMPLE

Gratifying indeed is the fact that the
young corn growers of Sumter county
are being taught both by precept ami
by example in the carrying out of the
work that they are doing to reduce the
high cost of living and of making the
life on the farms here most desirable
Fridays work by Mr. Wicker and
Mr.. Oliver was typical of the modern
system OF aiding in such enterprises.
By bringing instruction and practical
aid directly home to the one who is 70
be benefited the work of the farm de-
monstration agents and the corn club
supervisors should prove to be work
that is indispensable in its vital in
fiuence upon modern farming condi-
tons. g.
The response that is being received
to the efforts of the instructors of tn al
young farmers is probably the most
pleasing phase of the work, because t
