'7 n York T rogress 1947 A. statement by Carl Whitmore. President T HOUGH 1946 was a year of shortages and difficulties, it was a year of accomplish- ment, too. Here is what our telephone workers, using unusual ingenuity and effort, were able to do to bring more telephone ser- vice to more people, in spite of all obstacles: 370,000 NEW TELEPHONES WERE ADDED This is more than in any previous two years in our history. However, new appli- cations were received even faster than we were able to fill orders, and in spite of record achievements,, we still'have a w'ait- ing list of 436,000. 3 ( pQO,OOfl MORE CALLS A DAY WERE HANDLED —bringing the daily-average up to 18.500,- OOOi^Though there continued to be occa- \ siohal delays during the busiest periods of the day, we are glad to say that most calls went through without difficulty. 84,000,000 SPENT TO EXPAND ANDJMPROVE SERVICE. Material shortages prevented us from spending more. The new switchboards, cables and other equipment that we were able to obtain were rushed into service as rapidly as they coftd be installed. ~ 2,400 NEW TELEPHONE WORKERS WERE ADDED to swell our ranks to a total of 61,000. - - .During the past year we have been greatly heartened by the understanding ami coopera- tion of the public. We appreciate particularly the patience of the many thousands o. c appli- cants who are waiting for service; their orders continue to be a matter of first importance to us. We are grateful, too, for the wide re- sponse to our requests for help in spreading the use of telephone facilities for the benefit of all. THE OUTLOOK FOR 1947 As we go into 1947 the picture, is one of in- tense activity. Our manufacturing organiza- tion has expanded its facilities and manpower far beyond any previous^ levels. In addition, hundreds of sub-contractors are lending ; hund'oh the production job; The manufac tur& of..complicated telephone equipment i.- in full swing, ancLwe plan to spend $140,000, 000 for its purchase and installation, consid erably more than we h'ave spent in any othe one-year period. We look forward to adding more centre office switchboards, cables and telephones at a constantly increasing rate. With your co- operation and the help of all our^ telephone people, we shall make great strides in 1947 toward our basic objectives of giving every- one telephone service when he wants it and in making the speed and quality of that service better than ever.
