Yet the overall price of telephone service has gone up less than one-fourth as much as prices in general. The demand for more and more telephones continues, and Southern Bell hopes to build during 1951 nearly $22 million of new facilities to provide the expansion and improvement of telephone service that is so essential to Florida’s progress, and to national defense.—Southern Bell Telephone and Telegraph Company.
