The meeting, which lasted until nearly 11:00 p. m., was one of the longest regu lar meetings of the year. Meeting with the Board and Mayor Bridgers were S. L. Wil son of Raleigh, a League of Mu nicipalities attorney, who advised The Zebulon Record the Commissioners as to their pow ers under the zoning ordinance. The board voted to hire a sec retary for the town office to han dle paper work for the town, so that town manager Willie B. Hop kins can have more time outside the office. Present at the meeting with Mayor R. H. Bridgers were Com missioners R Vance Brown, How ard Beck, Bob Sawyer, and Barrie Davis. ATLANTIC SERVICE STATION We Never Close GAS & OIL EXPERT WASHING AND GREASING FIRESTONE TIRES Always Ready to Serve You In the past three years $30,000,000 of new construction in North Carolina for More and Better Telephone Service Since V-J Day more than 97,000 new telephones have been added, bringing the total to more than 252,000 Southern Bell telephones now serving the State The phenomenal growth of telephone service in North Carolina since 1945 is a story of unceasing, all-out effort of telephone folks to meet the increas ing needs of this growing state. There are today 62% more telephones in ser vice in North Carolina than in 1945. But that’s only part of the story ... the number of telephones doesn’t just grow by itseli. Look at the associated growth that had to take place in order to add and serve these telephones. Since V-J Day, 9 new buildings have been constructed and 10 other buildings substantially enlarged, pro viding nearly 200,000 square feet of additional floor space. And central office equipment has been installed that has made possible a greater ex pansion of facilities throughout the state. Long distance service has also been expanded and improved by the addition of 661 new circuits, enabling us to handle more long distance calls more quickly. More Calls Made Every Day Our North Carolina customers are now making a daily average of nearly 2,000,000 local calls as compared with 1,200,000 in 1945, and long distance calls have increased to 1,400,000 monthly, a 31% increase over 1945. Yes, North Carolina’s telephone ser vice has really grown not only in size but in value as well, for you can now call many more people and many more can call you. But in spite of the SOUTHERN BELL TELEPHONE ANB TELEGRAPH COMPANY FOR THE BEST IN DRY CLEANING - DIAL 4856 DIAL - We Call For & Deliver THE BEST IN MODERN EQUIPMENT Fast Service Have You Got Our Number? GAY & WATKINS DRY CLEANERS increase in business, telephone earn ings continue to be dangerously low. This is because the amount of money paid out to furnish you service has increased at a faster pace than the amount of money taken in. Still More Facilities Needed Southern Bell’s greatly increased in vestment in North Carolina is evi dence of our faith in the state and its people. Future expansion and im provement of the service will require many more millions of dollars of new money. This will have to be financed, as in the past, with money furnished by investors who may be expected to provide the necessary capital only so long as they receive a fair return on their money. That’s why it’s so neces sary that telephone rates be sufficient to pay today’s increased operating costs and provide a reasonable return to those who have invested their savings in the business. Telephone rates in North Carolina are not sufficient to meet today’s costs and assure the Company’s abil ity to render good service. That is why we are now before the North Carolina Utilities Commission seeking such rates as will enable us to con tinue to provide you with good and dependable service. Manager INCORPORATED Page Five
