THE KE\ WEST CITIZEN Friday, November 14, 1952 Bell Telephone Co. Compiles Top Safety Record The highest tribute paid by the | National Safety Council, the Award of Honor, was recently presented to Bell Telephone Companies in Recognition of an accident fre- quency less than one-fifth that of industry in general. The communication industry has topped all major industries in sa- fety performance in each of the Past eight years, according to the president of the Council. During | the past two-year period, 1950-51, telephone employees established a frequency rate of less than one ac-| cident for each half million hours | worked, compared with more than four for industry in general. In Dade and Monroe Counties, | Southern Bell operated 385 vehicles, and the outstanding safety record of telephone employees in this area has played an important part in the winning of this award. Based on a comparison of the safety record since 1930 with that of a 1926-36 base perift, C. F. Craig, president of the A. T. and 'T. Company, credited an improving safety program with preventing 700 fatalities and 57,000 injuries | in the Bell System in the past 21 years. Dr. J. A.

This involves the type of pipe to be used, method of laying mainten- ance, etc. The first and most important, of course, is the type of pipe. He explained that after much consi- deration and investigation that vi- treous clay pipe would most likely jbe used, as this has proven out jin many other locations to have | stood up with less deterioration |than other types. _He also explained most of the lines would work on the gravity system, with a few lift pumps loca- ted in various parts of the system. He also explained about the city streets not being repaired and re- |mewed too extensively at the pre- ; Sent time, because this would | mean the tearing up of same and relaying after the sewer system | has been installed.
