The above is from Official Rec- ords furnished for the Government by George Baird, Stanley Town- ship. Record net income of $38,899,289 for the year ended December 31, a steadily increasing number of telephones and shareholders, and a "notable increase in productiv- ity" are revealed in the 79th an- nual report of the Bell Telephone Company of Canada issued this week. This expansion was reflected in the Clinton area by the addition of 186 telephones, W. W. Haysom, Bell manager for this region said, bringing the total in service here as of December 31 to 2432 (in- ludes Telephones of 1VIcKillop and Tuckersmith companies). The report states that net in- come was $2,862,120 higher than in 1957. Earnings per share am- ounted to $2.15, the same as in the previous year, as there were more shares outstanding. The regular dividend of $2 a share was paid and surplus• was increased by $2,718,860. The increase of 185,465 tele- phones brought the total in service at the end of the year to 3,140, 349. Some 75,000 colored tele- phones were installed during the year. Referring to the increase in productivity, the report notes that more service was provided for more customers than ever before and that this progress was achie- ved by fewer employees, 39,321 Former Clinton Girl, Pat Scruton, Appears In Financial Post Feature In this week's issue of the Fin- ancial Post, which includes a fea- ture, Construction 1959. a picture of Miss Pat Scruton is published.
