PHONE DEVELOPMENT

During recent years telephone de-
velopment has far outstripped the in
crease in population. Some interest
ing figures on this subject are pre-
sented by J. S. McCulloh, new presi-
dent of the New York Telephone Com
pany, in Forbes Magazine, IN. W
"In the last ten years." says Mr..
McCulloh, "total assets of the COM
pany have increased from 1854 ,OO0,-
900 to approximately $572,0O0,000. At
the end of 1914 the total number of
stations in the territory of the New
York Telephone Company was 1885,
800, whereas today there are approx
imately 2,200,000-a gain of over 100
per cent. During the same period the
population increased only approxim-
ately 10 per cent.
"On October /, 1924, over 10000
of these telephones were being served
by Misunderstanding central offices
which are being installed to take care
of growth or to replace manual
switchboards that have served their
useful life. These automatic ex-
changes are giving effective service.
1t is expected that by the end of 1929
service will be provided for 100000
stations and that the daily average of
calls will have climbed from the pres
ent figure of between 100000 and
100000 to 14,390,000. Provision is
now being made on that basis"
