Mr, tured dueips ‘a Increased Telephone Rates . Are Necessary A Statement to the Public of New York City by Howard F. Thurber, President of the New York Telephone Company HE New York Telephone Com- pany is charged by the public with the responsibility of furnishing telephoneservice to the people of this 1. Pay necessary operating expenses. City and the State of New York. We are your service agents. To fulfil our obligations to you we must do three things:— 2. Pay to investors a fair return on the money already put into telephone property. ' 3. Earn sufficient net revenue so that investors will continue, by the purchase of telephone securities, to furnish the large amounts of new capital required each year for the extension of the system. For years New York City’s telephone service has been recognized as the best in the world. It has been furnished at the lowest reasonable rates. We built our system, trained our workers, and introduced improvements and economies into the system—all with the aim of being prepared to furnish efficient service at all times in any required amount. Until recently our revenue has been such as to enable us to keep our facilities and organization always ready to do these things) But our revenue no longer is equal t. the demands you put upon it. We are facing the greatest demand for new service in our history, and at the same time, we are trying to still further improve the handling of an abnormal volume of traffic. This effort has resulted in a heavy increase in expense that has not been met by increased revenue. Our net revenue has dropped so rapidly since the first of the year that unless we receive financial aid through increased rates we cannot enlarge our plant, continue to improve the service and attract the new money required for constructing new telephone facilities. Because: All materials and supplies have increased ¢normously in cost. Increases in wages of our employees during the past twelve months to enable them to meet the high cost of living amount to $8,295.868 $4,739,837 more has been added to our payroll by the employment of ad- ditional workers. Our 1920 expansion program calls for an expenditure of over $26,000,000 and we must expend equally large amounts annually during the next few ycars. Public necessity and public safety demand the main- tenance of adequate telephone service. Business men realize this particularly. In many states they have urged the adoption of increased rates to insure the con- tinuance of good service. Adequate service depends upon adequate revenue, In- sufficient revenue means a repetition in the telephone business of what has happened to the railroads. Inade- quate rates stifled their development and every com- munity in the country is suffering as a consequence. It is unthinkable that you would permit your telephone service to be crippled in the same way. ui The telephone is New York’s first assistant. It is our task to make it serve not only as well as before, but in a far larger way. We have done what we could to ac- complish this task in the face of rising costs and the delays and difficulties due to after - the - war economic conditions. We want to carry the work to completion. We believe you want us to do so. . Therefore: We have filed with the Public Service Commission, Second District, a petition asking for an increase in rates in the City of New York. The situation deserves your most Active consideration and support. It vitally affects you and every other person in this community. All the facts relating to our need for increased revenue will be given to the public. operation.
