TELEPHONE DEVELOPMENT IN
1923
The activities of the Bell Telephone
Company of Canada in 1923, as des-.
el`osed by the Annual Report received
by Manager Eumball, were on a scale
unexampled in the history of the corn-
. pally-. Perhaps the most significant
development of recent years is the
changed attitude of the public 'to-.
wards: the telephone, As the report
says; "Service is now required oi
as in homes and small places of busi-
ness which a few 'years ago, court
not have been considered a possible
market.. , . Thus, within our present.
boundaries, the telephone field is
broadening daily; therefore, we are o-
bliged to inset demands for a rapidly
growing local service."
Telephone revenues for the year a-
mounted to $22,225,714.24 and expen-
ses $18,044,455.,87, leaving a net of
$4,181,258.87 from which to pay bond
interest, dividends, allotment to the
Benefit -Fund and provision for sur-
plus.

Somewhat contrary to expectations
the by-law authorizing, the payment
of a salary to councillors was passed
by a" vote of 6 to 3 in ,,the Goderich,
council at its last meeting. The mayor,
Reeve McEwan.and Deputy Reeve
Munnings strongly opposed the move-
ment. The by-law grants a salary'
of $5 a Council meeting and" $4for`a
committee meeting. At one time,
owing to the adverse criticism on the
street, it was thought the move would
be dropped, one or two of the council-
lots being rather skeptical. It was
also decided to submit tile by-law, re-
garding the new addition to the :Col-
legiate Institute :to the ratepayers as

passed completely through a•' large

though made by a bullett, and set fire
