The telephone company stands read!
to meet the telephone needs of the
city and the surrounding communl
ties, on reasonable basis as the de-
velopment of the respective sections
justify the outlay of the large amounts
of money represented by telephone
equipment. Expenditure of large sums
in telephone plant in sections where 1t
would not be put into use within a
reasonable time, would ultimately be

guard against these unwarranted eX

IN {. A.
1925 Gain, 800 Stations,
Barometer of Growth
Of Alamo City.
By HARRY MARTYR
District Manager, Southwestern Bell
Telephone Company.

he"phoht NoutlHhs.
The Southwestern Bell Telephone
company ended 1925 with a gain of
$500 telephone stations over the num-
Der it had on January 1. The total
stations at the end of the year was
well over $4,000.
The gain Of telephone stations is
considered a reasonably good barome-
ter of the substantial growth of city.
Gains come from two principal
sources, from new people and bust
ness houses coming into the city, or
from the increase in the number OF
users among the present population
and business houses. San Antonio
has a rather large percentage of non
users but considerable progress has
been made during the past year in de-
veloping new users.
The value of telephone to the mer-
chant depends to a great extent upon
the number of people whom it reaches.
The value to the residence subscriber
depends upon whether he can reach
his friends and business associates.
Thus high percentage of telephone
users is very desirable.

RAPID PROGRESS.

A San Antonio telephone subscriber
can now reach about $4,000 local sta
tons over his telephone while in 1920
he could reach approximately 10000.
In view of the rapid development
of San Antonio, both in new houses
and business institutions, look for
ward to substantial increase in sta
tons during the coming year. The
gain made during 1925 is indicative
of healthy potential development and
1926 should be very favorable.
Plans are going forward for the
placing of cable and wires to relieve
the various sections of the city where
relief is needed to care for additional
requirements. The sections immedi-
ately surrounding the city where de-
velopment justifies will be cared for
during 1926.
The new section of the Crockett
Travis central office is now fully
equipped to care for the growth in its
area for the next few years and the
extension TO the Mission central Of
flee building carries additional equip
ment to meet the needs of the south
