There, has never been finer cooperation between the 6,350 inde¬ pendently owned telephone companies in this country and the Bell System compainies. All these companies, together with more than 60,000f rural or farmer lines and systems, make possible nation-wide universal telephone service, offering to the telephone user the ability to talk to anyone, anywhere, promptly and clearly,. This cooperation is more imoprtant now under the stress of total war than ever before. Bell System Facilities—The great expansion of telephone service,# both local and toll, reduced the margins of unused plant held for future growth and resulted in some cases in shortages of plant facilities, particularly on-xertain long distance routes where growth was the most rapid. As a result, it was necessary to construct large amounts of additional plant of all types.. Every effort was made to do this with a minimum use of strategic war Materials. Expenditure^ for new construction were High, approximately $420,000,000, as com-t pared with $290,000,000 in 1940. The investment in telephone plant At the United end States, of 912 at ' THE COMMERCIAL & FINANCIAL CHRONICLE the end the of year $5,047,880,000, was against which there were depreciation and amoitization Over many , 1,000,000 1940 in as important reserves of $1,444,262,000, or 28.6%, of long distance circuits were added—twice as and the most ever added in any one year. An miles factor in the ability of the Bell System to add great num-- bers of long distance circuits to its plant rapidly and without excessive draft upon supplies of copper and other scarce materials has. been the large scale application of broad band carrier systems, which provide great numbfer of telephone a Anticipating the importance in the the and able a single circuit. transcontinental iacilities were circuits provided prior to Dec. 7th. Addi¬ now being rushed to completion are is anticipated that about 36 more will have been made avail¬ the time this report is issued. In the meantime, work on by transcontinental all-cable underground cable, which will provide the first telephone line and which will double present facilities, is being pushed forward rapidly. Service transcontinental transcontinental this on channels over increased 60 additional transcontinental circuits, increasing War, by about one-third, transcontinental it the of event total tional of cable is route being given as far west as Denver and completed to the Pacific Coast via Salt by the latter part of 1942. Altogether, about 4,000 miles of toll and long distance telephone -cables were added during the year, raising the total mileage of these cables in service to about 36,000 miles. Over two-thirds of the cable added was placed underground; most of it by using the recently perfected method of plowing the cables into the ground to a depth of 30 inches or more with heavy mechanized equipment. Development of coaxial cable,, which can carry several hundred telephone conversations simultaneously in two pairs of specially de¬ signed conductors, reached the point of regular commercial use when the 200-mile cable of this type between Minneapolis and Stevens Point, Wis., was placed in service in 1941, The extensive use of coaxial cables is planned on the longer heavy traffic routes as an economical means of providing long distance circuits. Coaxial cables are suitable also for use in inter-city networks for the transmission the cable is expected now to be Lake City of The first installation of was circuits placed follow across Saving Strategic carried was miles in value of the war point War Materials—The 1941 large construction pro¬ under conditions of increasing difficulty due to combined effect of these effort is shown by measures the stand¬ from the large reduction in the use of For example, Bell System aluminum has been reduced to less than one-fifth of which otherwise would be required, use of magnesium has been reduced to one-sixth, rubber about one-half, an<J, zinc to copper and ' two-thirds. about to Telephone several-fold.

Anticipating these shortages and beginning over two years ago, early in the emergency, steps were to reduce the Bell System use of strategic materials. Those responsible for the design and manufacture of telephone apparatus and supplies have carried on continuous and extensive studies of the use of alternate materials and as rapidly as possible substitutions have been made to meet imminent or prospective shortages. Also, throughout the Bell System, emergency engineering and oper¬ ating practices were adopted in 1941 to reduce as far as possible the use of strategic materials. These emergency practices included the deferment, wherever practicable of plant construction for the purpose of betterment by continuing in service plant which normally would have been replaced, and by repairing and reusing a large proportion of plant removed from service. Where new plant was built, 5t was engineered to take care of growth: for a relatively short period in the future by greatly reducing the size of cables and of additions to central office equipment and other plant. These necessary changes in design and in engineering and operating practices added to the load at a time when all hands were hard pressed by an unusually large manufacturing and construction pro¬ gram, including much special work for the armed forces and other defense agencies. The substitutions and the emergency practices which have been adopted involve some economic penalties in the form of increased costs, either currently or in the long run.

The request for authority to increase inter¬ state passenger fares, except special fares for soldiers and sailors on furlough and extra fares applicable to certain trains, was granted Jan. 21, 1942, and the increase was made effective Feb. 10, 1942. Intrastate fares were increased correspondingly in Oregon, Arizona, and New Mexico, on Feb. 10; and in California, with the additional exception of commutation fares, on Feb. 11. Decisions by the regu¬ latory commissions of other states are expected shortly. Hearings on the freight rate increase have been held by the Interstate Commerce Commission and an early decision is anticipated. As mentioned in last years report, filing of land grant claim releases enabled company to apply full commercial charges for transportation of persons and property for the United States-, except for military or naval forces and property of the United States moving for military or naval purposes. Differences of opinion have arisen as to what con¬ stitutes military and naval property of the United States, such prop¬ erty not being defined in the statute.
