Telephone Meetin P g Jan. 25 562. independent telephone systems owned by municipalities or private companies (not including the Bell Telephone Co. of Canada) now have a total investment, in Ontario, ex- a ceding $12,000,000.00, says the Can- b edian Independent. Telephone As- $OCiatlell. i Officials of the Association state that Financial Statements to he pre- sented at annual :meetings of these' 562 telephone systems, during Jan- uary, February and March are ex- pected to show an increased overall p investment figure. Gross revenue in p many of these systems serving rural p Ontario have improved during the .O war years. Due mainly to material L and labour shortages of the .paat • few years, most of these systems Ho now, however, anticipate necessary major expelldituree during 1946-47 for re -construction and improvement of plant and service facilities. Because of 'these necessarily in- creased appropriations for plant re- habilitation, and to provide improved service to rural subscribers, C.I.T.A. -officials are urging greater interest and attendance at annual sharehold- ers' meetings.
