G Jelephone Service is a Vital Service/ q “During the year (1927) 791,000 additional telephones were put in service, making the total number in the United States interconnected in and with the Bell Sys- tem at the end of the year 18,365,000 WALTER S. GIFFORD, President of the American Telephone d Telegraph C i 1O Telephone service has become a vital service to the world of today. Each year sees its hundreds of thoutinds of new tele- phones added to those already served by the companies of the Bell System. | Last year nearly 800,000 were added, swelling the total for the country to more than 18,000,000 — one telephone for every seven of population. At the end of 1927 the aggregate cost of the plant and equipment devoted to furnishing this necessary service to the people of the United States had reached the impressive total of nearly three and one half billion of dollars. Thus the furnishing of relcphoxx'e service has grown to be one of the world's greatest industries. The Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone Company which is one of the associate companies of the Bell System serves 145,000 telephones in the District of Columbia —about one telephone for every three and one-half of the city's population. It represents an investment of more than $26,029,000. Each year brings additions of about 8700 telephones and each year there is asdcd about $2,100,000 in additional plant and equipment. Thus the demand for service in our territory continues just as it does throughout the rest of the country. And just as we have met the demand in the past we shall make every effort to continue to meet it in the future and to give the most telephone service and the best at the lowest cost to the public, Ly THE CHESAPEAKE AND POTOMAC TELEPHONE COMPANY [
