.5BT Report Shows
Growing Economy

The 1861 Annual Report Of
the Southern Bell Telephone
Company, just issued, spot
lights a growing, changing
and improving" southern
economy.
The report reveals that
while Southern Bell operates
today ir substantially the
same geographic area as Is
years ago, it serves rs mil
lion telephones compared
with one million then. In the
past ten years, Southern Bell
telephones in service have
doubled. President Ben S.
Gilmer in the report attri-
butes the telephone growth
to economic progress in the
South. Our growth" he said,
"is evidence of the increasing
Requirements for communi-
cations services associated
with the growth of cities and
eburban and rural areas.
"The economy of our region
ir the past ten years has in
creased at a higher rate than
the nation as a whole. Ac-
cordingly, there are today
more business opportunities
and opportunities for employ
ment of talents and Skills by
our citizens than have ever
existed before. All of these
thirgs resulted in the need
for convnient telephone serv-
ice in homes, additional and
specially designed service to
meet the technical require
ments Of modern business and
industry and government ser
vices. including national de-
fense."
Mr.. Gilmer in the report
pointed out that the econo-
mic slowness prevailing in
the nation If. 1861, including
the South, caused telephone
growth to be lower than in
1860. The Company added
$40 600 telephones, compared
with 429, 600 in 1860. AT years
end subscribers could call 1873
million or 91.6 per cent of all
the worlds telephones.
In expanding and improv-
ing telephone service in 1861,
the Company spent 1898 mil
lion - about the same as for
other recent years.
The increase in investment
IN 1861 raised the Compary'S
total investment in plant, at
cost to $2,817, OOo, 900 at the
end of 1861. "This large sum-"
Mr.. Gilmer declared, "is a
measure of the cost of the
millions of telephones, the
millions of miles of wire, the
millions of poles, the thou
sands of motor vehicles, the
hundreds of buildings ard
all of the apparatus involved
in complex central office and
switching equipment neces-
sary to provide today's serv-
ice. 1t is also a measure Of
the tremendous amount OF

required.
I'VE have a big service job
to do and it cannot be done
without adequate facilities.
These facilities must be in
good working order, they
must be replaced as they
wear out, and new facilities
must be added as required.
