WE'VE HAD TO BUILD or enlarge 100 telephone
buildings in the last three years. We were
obliged to do this at a time when building costs
were about double pre-war costs. Yet, up to •
now, despite rising costs on all sides there has
been no increase in the basic telephone rates
established 22 years ago.
To meet unprecedented post-war demand
for more telephones, our expansion and im-
provement of service have of necessity taken
place in a period of rapidly rising costs. Most
businesses have offset their higher costs by/
higher prices for their products. We have not
yet done so.
You can be sure we will keep on„ doing our
best to provide you with adequate and con-
stantly improving telephone service and to
provide it at the lowest rates consistent with
a fair return to our investors and employees.
