filE CANAVIAN STATEMMAN, MUWMAN V1LI~. THURSDAY, JANUARY 10, 1929 PAGE 5EV~ _________________________________________________________ i I .1 The Bell Telephone Company and its Bill in Parliament THE Bell Telephone Company. is bringing before parliament this session a Bil regurding its authority to seek ew capital." No grant or subsidy from parliaunent is involved. It la entireiy a matter of autbority ta offer new shares for purchase by investors, from i Ure to time in the future as new capital is required for the. growth of the system. There are tbree reasans wby the telephone company is askimg parliament for this authority. Eacb of these reasons ia important. the first reason The telephone systemt cannot ext end td meet the growth of the country unless thcre lsaa steady supply of new capital year after year. JN a progressive country like Canada the telephone ~system neyer stands stili. Each year there are thousands of new telephones in uew homes anmd offices. Icor the next five years the definite eeds whicb the systesu is under public obligation te meet mean spending over $120,000,000 in new plant. Year after year, in good tirnes andi bad, new money is needed for more telephones if the system is to keep pace witb the country. And of this morey a great part can be supplied oly througb the pur- chase of new shares b>' investors. the second reason Necesaar>' plans cannot be madie uniesse there ia assurance that mone>' may be obtained iR the future to complete them. TN the telephone business it is essentiel that plans Sbe made for years ahead. There must b. cables and condufts and central ex- changes before new telephomes eau go in. To wait ntil people are clamoring for service is too late. Sucb projects in the pasi. bave been undertaken be- cause the company has been confident of securing nioey from investors to put the ni.w equipment into fulservice. But if the company ta flot able eveai to approach in- vestors, its assurance vaishes and to prepare for thie future becomes impossible. 'Me telephone system does not need, anmd will not seek, ail the seventy-five million of new capital pro- vded for in its ameridment n0w, nor ue-t year, mor the. year after. [t ma>' ot need it ail for a good man>' years. But it doesa eed now the assurance that it will b. ahie li the future to go into the. market for new mone>' wheu it la required. the third reason The company's present autkonit>'t. ueek new capital la aintoat exhansted. W RHEN the telephone compan>' began in 1880 it had authorit> ta sei shares te investors up to half a million dollars, but witb the gnowtb of the system this authorit>' bas been extended b>' parues- ment. This ha happened, on su average, ever>' eight years since180 The iast amendîfient by parliament was in 1920. Another amendinent is uecessary now be- cause, of the seventy-five million of sbares set in 1920, less thanx ten million now remain for the cent- pan>' te offer te investors. Witb over $120,000,000 te b. spent during tbe next five years-a substantial part of which must be pro- vided b>' sale of new shaes-this margin of lessi &han tan milion represents neither the steady supply of new capital nor the assurance of the future which lb.e company must have te serve the public with efficiency. eight years from now TFthere had not been an ameudment in 1920 with teright te raise new capital, Ontario sand Quebec toda>' would b. struggliig with a telephone system so bopelessi>' behind publie requirememt.s that al branches of business would suffer. '1%. telephone compan>' does ot want that staite of affairs e pevl . eip-ht years front now. The Bihla te prevent iLt.4 SOS Don't Take Chancesi Let us do can't afford to that-for that's our business. You carry your own insurance risk, but the solid substantial insurance companies we re- present have able resources and made provision to carry your risk. Are you sure you are carrying enough insur- ance? What would be your position if a fire should visit your place? By ail means don't take a chance when you can have protection at such a very low cost.
