owned by many persons, none Of whom
has control. y
"The American Telephone and Tele-
graph Company has stated many
times" Mr.. Page said, "that It is q
publicly owned company in that it's
stock Is widely distributed and that no
one owner owns as much as one per
cent Of its stock. The testimony of the
Federal Communications Commissions
Investigator, June 10, that five per
cent of the stockholders own 80 per
cent Of the stock, has apparently been
interpreted as questioning the truth
Of the company's statement.
"The fact is that the five per cent
represents $4,000 stockholders holding
on the average about 280 shares each.
The balance of the stock is owned by
some 1880 people. The fundamental
fact remains that the company is a
publicly owned institution, that its
stock is widely distributed through
$4,000 holders. and that it is not con-
trolled by any small group Of people"

World Telephone Development

try except the United States, but
ranks eleventh in relative telephone
development with 4.69 telephones for

telephones, which is seventeenth in
rank.
More than 81 per cent of the worlds
telephones are operated by privately
owned systems and private ownership
tends to predominant in the countries

ment. In the United States, the best
developed country in the world in
point Of telephone facilities by a sub
stantial margin, the service is wholly

administration of the unit with the
minimum of telephone line mileage
and annual maintenance. The plan is
simple, easily prepared, and readily
understood and accepted by the field
men. 1t was built up on ranger dis
trict basis and the lines were laid out
on the assumption that all points in
the district should report directly to
the ranger.
Elimination so far as possible Of
switching stations in the forests re-
quiring operators, the weighing of CO.
operative use of commercial lines and
the determination of the number of
telephones for each line will be fac
tors in the ultimate forest service sys-
tenn. The maximum length of circuits
was determined by the number of tele-
phone connections and the volume of
traffic. For example, single telephone
line in one Of the national forests is
more than 100 miles in length and has
Is telephones connected with it, the
service being very satisfactory. There
are other lines about half this length
with about one dozen telephone lines
each, over which slow service is expe-
rienced at times. In certain areas
static and electrical discharges must
be considered in the operation of the
lines. In some localities because of
earth currents, grounded lines are not
practical.
Telephone lines in national forests
are plotted on all district maps for
regional Office and local use. Where
this planned telephone system has
been installed, it has resulted in econ
omy and greater efficiency in the con-
struction and operation of the tele-
phone lines and an increasing gain in
protection of life and property.
