VAST FINANCIAL OUTLAY PLANNED BY ILLINOIS BELL TELEPHONE CO. Bell System in State Spent $18,000,000 in 1922 for New Construction. Expects to Spend $100,000,000 in Next Five Years

By W. R. ABBOTT President, Illinois Bell Telephone Company During 1922 the Illinois Bell Telephone Company spent in the territory served by it approximately $18,000,000 for new construction. Nearly $100,000,000 will be spent by the company in the next five years, to provide additional facilities in the company's territory. Approximately 54,000 telephone stations were added to the Bell system in the state of Illinois during 1922. The gain in telephone stations in the city of Chicago alone was about 32,000. At the end of the year the company was giving service to approximately 637,500 telephones within the city of Chicago. With this increase in the number of stations there was a corresponding increase in operating expense, due to increased personnel and other charges which naturally follow the company's additional service. Service Steadily Improves. There has been a continuing improvement of our service. The improvement in employment conditions has enabled us to choose more carefully our operating employees, and this has had its good effect on our service. This company was one of the pioneers in Safety First and Accident Prevention work. We now maintain a regular department devoted to a study of methods of safety and the education of our employees in safe methods of performing their work and regulating their daily actions. The results obtained have been very gratifying and will be surprising to many persons. In the year 1917 the company employed. 15,477 persons. During that year telephone employees suffered 587 accidents, which caused them to lose time from their work. This record does not include minor accidents, which showed no lost time. The total number of days lost by employees for that year was 7,159 and the number of lost-time accidents, per one hundred employees, was 3.81. In 1922 the company had an average of 22,299 employees. Up to November 30, there had been 306 lost-time accidents with a total of 2,290 days lost. This was at the

Dinner and supper was served to forty people, everyone members of the family. Those present were Mr. and Mrs. W. Smittle and family, Mr. and Mrs. N. Simon and family. Mr. and Mrs. A. Kubeck and family. Mr. and Mrs. J. LaPert, Mr. and Mrs. Dick Ferman and family, Mr. and Mrs. N. Ferman and the mother of all, Mrs. C Simon. A most wonderful day and evening was spent by the happy family. A Watch Party will be held at the Evangelical church on Sunday evrate of only 1.44 accidents per one hundred employees. This record has been made by the employees themselves, who have co-operated most willingly and intelligently with the management in its effort to minimize accidents. It has been said that accidents will happen, but our experience shows that they may be reduced by intelligent effort and the willingness of all concerned. We have good reason to hope that the number of accidents will be still further reduced as time goes on. True Public Ownership. The Bell System represents public ownership of utilities in its best sense. There are more stockholders in the Bell System than in any other corporation. During last year more than 22,000 shares of American Telephone and Telegraph Company stock were sold to the public of Illinois. The American Telephone and Telegraph Company has more than 235,000 stockholders, of whom 46,000 are telephone employees. In addition, there are about 100,000 employees buying stock on the partial payment plan. During the year the whole world was saddened by the death of Dr. Alexander Graham Bell, inventor of the telephone, whose death took place in Nova Scotia, August 2. Dr. Bell was unique among inventors in that he lived to see the results of his invention spread over the world. In 1876 there was one telephone that which the inventor and his young assistant had made with their own hands. At the end of 1921 there were in the world more than 21,000,000 telephones in service of which about sixty-four per cent were in the United States. Employees Assist. During 1922 the Employees' Association suggested a routine whereby every employee in any department becomes a representative of the company with the public. Employees carry with them a small printed blank, pink in color. When an employee, in conversation with a telephone user, learns of any criticism or failure of the service, he reports it on this blank, which goes immediately to the proper department and steps are at once taken to remedy the matter
