so gentle and kind to them. He pos

for his church and the cause ofChrist
at ali times. He was always ready
and willing to help those in need, so
gentle and patient that he won
friends wherever he went. Having

of his splendid Christian character.

Of the hotels lowering their
charges. Until they do so we must
pay the present high charges.
Electric Power and Light; Street
Car Fare.
We spend many thousands of
dollars every year for these ser
vicesrendered to employees en-
gagged in the maintenance of the
property. Practically every year
the rates charged by these COM
panies have been substantially in
creased, and there is no thought of
any reduction. The Telephone
Company like all others must pay
these increased rates.
Paper, Printing and Stationary.
We consume tons of paper for
bookkeeping, correspondence and
directory purposes, and pay many
thousands of dollars for printing
annually. This item of expense
has increased in percentage more
than the others, and no one has
suggested that any reduction in
these costs is probable.
Coal Bill.
The Telephone Company pur-
chases coal in large quantities to
heat the buildings occupied by it's
employees in rendering the service.
We, Of course nut pay what
ever price is necessary to secure
the coal for this purpose.
Insurance.
Even where the actual rate per
one thousand dollars has not been
increased we are compelled to car
ry a larger amount of insurance
than in prewar days in order to
protect ourselves in the reproduc-
ton of any Of the property which
may be destroyed by fire, and this
is reflected in very large increase
in the total insurance bill.
Taxes.
This expense, both Federal,
State County and City, has in
creased every year we have been
in business; the increase this year
being unusually high. There is no
probability Of this expense being
reduced.
We do not pay any excess profit
tax because We have never earned
enough to be subject to that tax.
Buildings.
1t is common knowledge that the
cost Of erecting any kind Of build
ing now as well as making altera-
tions an drepairs which constantly
confront the Telephone Company
and which involve material, labor,
freight and hauling is on an enor-
mously higher plane than ever be-
froe. Insofar as the cost Of ma
terials may be reduced will this
total cost be reduced.
The only way we can furnish
adequate facilities for your use
from year to year is by construct
ing the buildings in which to house
the central Office apparatus in the
larger centers; as well as enlarging
existing buildings to serve the in
creased needs, and this work must
be carried on from year to year
without delay. This involves hun
dreds of thousands of dollars in
expense to the company.
There are Of course many other
items of expense, all of which are
now at the highest level in prices,
and none Of which show any sign
Of reduction for fundamental rea-
sons.
Until these necessary costs Of
