The Facts of the Telephone Situation in Florida
By j. EPPs BROWN, President
SOUTHERN BELL TELEPHONE TELEGRAPH CO.
Florida's Telephone Service Needs

The Company has 600 untitled applica-
tons for telephone service in the state of
Florida today.
We IAN not furnish this service because
we do not have the facilities. During 1919
our forecast for 1920 warned us to expect
and prepare for this demand. This we did.
During 1919 adequate facilities to meet
the 1920 service demand were planned, the
necessary money arranged for, their imme-
date construction authorized and orders for
material and equipment placed with the
manufacturers.
To complete this 1920 construction pro-
gram for Florida, now under way, requires
the expenditure Of $500, 100000.
The 9th and 9Th advertisements of this
series give the details of this construction
program and the reasons why the material
and equipment orders have not been filled.
Until these orders are filed, sufficient IA
cilities TO supply this service can not be pro-
vided.
The demand for service continues to
grow.
Modern conditions and business methods
have made telephone service basic unit of
commerce.
AS the population and business of the
country grow, the need for telephone serv-
ice grows
No one doubts that the population and
business of Florida will continue to grow.
Our forecast for the next five years serv-
ice requirements shows that, at the end Of
1925, there viii be net gain of $500 tele-
phones in this state.
These forecasts are based upon popula-
ton, present and prospective, and an analy-
sis of business conditions, present and pros
pective. The Company's present plant in
Florida was built upon such forecasts, and
experience has proven their accuracy.
To meet the almost certain demand for
telephone service in Florida during the next
five years Tin addition to the 1920 construc-
ton program now underway, plant must
be installed and expenditures must be made
as follows:

New buildings and additions TO present
buildings planned and working specifica-
tons prepared. This yhe Company has

Orders for the necessary telephone ma
terial and. equipment must be placed with
the manufacturers, and contracts for con-
struction of the buildings made. This the
Company will do as soon as it can secure the
money needed to pay the costs Of this con-
struction.

cured Twelve months time is required to
construct the facilities needed to meet the
known 1921 service demand; assuming that
the necessary material and equipment are
promptly delivered.
The present manufacturing and trans
portation conditions make it imperative for
the orders for this material and equipment
to be placed without delay. The service de-
mand for 1921 can not possibly be met ex-
cept BY authorizing the 1921 construction
program and placing orders for the neces-
sary material and equipment at once. This
the Company can not do now because il has
no money available for this work.
These extensions and additions must be
paid for out Of the capital account Of the
Company they are never paid for out Of the
earnings of the Company II for no other
reason, because the earnings of the Com
pany are not sufficient.
The entire net earningsofthe Company in
Florida for the past four years ale less by
S517 ,2S8.00 than the cost Of the additions
and extensions needed in Florida for 1921
