Here is what this act mass to the j telephone -using public" More and Better Telephone Service A Period of Unequalled Growth In the 34 months since V -J Day we have added 350.000 telephones—many more than in the preceding ten years. We now serve 1,360,000 telephones -22 for every 100 persons throughout Ontario and Quebec. We have never before provided so much new service in so short a time. This unprecedented pace has been maintained with the aid of new capital from Canadian investors. More will be required. The Continuing Demand for Service Yet, despite this rapid growth, we still have 96,000 unfilled orders for tele- phones and another 69,000 requests to change parry lines to individual service. Thousands of new orders are coming in every month. Long Distance calls are three times pre-war levels. Many new buildings, switchboards, lines and other equipment must be provided as rapidly as possible. The next decade may well see more telephone construction than during the preceding 68 years of our history. Rural Telephone Service Rural telephone service has expanded, and will continue to do so. In the terri- tory we serve, 55 of every 100 rural homes and businesses have telephones. In 1945 only 39% had service. Vast Construction Program Continues Parliament has given the Bell Telephone Company permission to increase its authorized capital by $350,000,000. The Company can now continue to go to investors for the money necessary to further the greatest expansion and improvement program in its history. This construction program is neces- sary if the Company is to carry out its obligation and satisfy the public's con- tinuing demand for more telephones and more telephone service. Our objective is to extend and improve the service so that ultimately we can, give every applicant the kind and quality of service he wants, when and as he wants it Our -farm program calls for still more telephones, for fewer parties on each line, and for more new switchboards. Dial Telephones New dial equipment is being installed in tremendous quantities. Today we have more dial telephones than the total of all our telephones in 1942. Now 70 out of every 100 telephones are dial. More exchanges will be con- verted. to dial operation. Financing the Program Much of the new money necessary to extend the telephone system must be obtained from thousands of people who wish to invest their savings. The principal means of securing this new capital will be by issuing additional shares of our stock from time to time with the approval of the Board of Transport Com- missioners. k waster this purpose that the authority of Parliament was obtained. Best Service —lowest Cost The skill and enthusiasm of telephone workers will be devoted to turning the materials obtained with the new capital into service of the highest standard. . The public can be assured that The Bell Telephone Company of Canada will coliitinue to provide the best telephone service at the lowest possible cost.
