We were left almost destitute of plant reserve. We were left facing the great- est demand for service in our history. We were left in need of more workers, more materials and more equip- ment than we have ever required at any one time, and when costs were higher than ever before. The quality of telephone service is much better than a year ago. Better than six months ago. And six months hence it will be better still, ~ Supplying this city with telephone service under present conditions is the greatest task of its kind in the | world. We have 5,000,000 miles of telephone wire in New York City, 867,875 telephone stations, 94 central offices, 28,000 employees. But that does not meet the demand. There are nearly 77,000 unfilled applications for service on our books, although in the past six months we have connected 66,000 new telephones. Our present plans call for an expenditure of $26,000,- 000 this year to increase our facilities in this city. This amount will not be sufficient to meet all requirements. We must secure and spend even larger sums for new plant during each of the next few years. We must catch up with the present demand and anticipate the needs of the years ahead. 28,000 well trained men and women are bending every effort to meet this city’s unprecedented telephone requirements. Everything that we can do is being done to again give New York City the best telephone service in the world, and meet all new demands for service. We are coming back, but it will take time, money, effort and the public’s wholehearted support.
