Jnnunry 10. `I929 The Bell Telephone Company - and its Bill in Parliament The telephone system cannot extend to meet the growth of the country unless there is a steady supply of new capital year after year. IN a progressive country like Canada the telephone system never stands still. Each year there are thousands of new telephones in new homes and offices. For the next five years the definite needs which the system is under public obligation to meet mean spending over $120,000,000 in new plant. Year after year, in good times and had, new money is needed for.more telephones if the system is to "keep pace with the country. And 'of this money I great part can be supplied only through the pur- chase of new shares by investors. THE Bell Telephone Company is bringing before parliament this session a Bill regarding its authority to seek new capital. No grant or subsidy from parliament is involved. It is entirely a matter of authority to offer new shares for purchase by investors, fromitime to time in the future as new capital is required for the growth of the system. There are three reasons why the telephoneicompany is asking parliament for this authority. Each 01' these reasons is important. Necessary plans cannot be made unless there is assurance that money may be obtained in the future to complete them. IN the telephone business it is essential that plan: be made for years ahead. V . There must be cables and conduits and- central ex- changes before new telephones can go in. To wait until people are clamoring for service is too late. Such projects in the past have been_ undertaken be- cause the company has been confident of securing money from investors to put the new equipment into full service. , But if the company is not able even to approach in- vestors, its assurance vanishes and to prepare for the future becomes impossible. The telephone system does not need, and will not seek, all the seventy-five million of new capital pro- vided_ for in its amendment now, nor next year, nor the year after. It may not need it allfor a good many years. But it does need now the assurance that it will be able in the future to go into the market for new money when it is required. ` ` DISTRICT The company's present authority to seek new capital is almost exhausted. ' I-IN the telephone company began in 1880 it had authority to sell shares to investors up to half a million dollars, but with the growth of the `system this authority has been extended by parlia- ment. This has happened, on an average, every eight years since 1880. The last amendment by parliament was in 1920. Another amendment` -is necessary now be- cause, of the seventy-five million of shares `set in 1920, less than ten million new remain for the com- pany to offer to investors. With over $120,000,000 to be spent during the next five years-a substantial part of which must be pro- vided by sale of new shares--this margin of less than ten million represents. neither the steady supply of new capital nor the assuranceof the future which the company must have to serve the public with efficiency.

Mr. Adair and family were away at the time and the place was in charge of a young boy of 13 or 14 years. He was doing the chores about six o'clock and in some manner the lantern fell from a hook or nail and immediately the basement was in flames. The alarm was spread by tele- phone but when help arrived it was impossible to get anything out of the buildings. However, the boy managed to get the horses and some cattle out before the fire made it too hot to get near the burning structure. The sea- son's crop, which was all threshed ex- cept a quantity of red clover, was all in the barn and would amout to about 1500 bushels of grain. Out of about 500 bushels of wheat, probably 200 bushels will be saleable. There was also a grain separator. a clover huller and a trac- tor destroyed, besides a number of implements, harness, etc. The worst feature was the heavy loss of live stock, as 14 head of cattle, 28 hogs and 25 or 80 sheep\perished in the ames. up- A.:I..J..v.. bum in not-dvnnfn of fr-nrn "il ':'z."c3'."'i~i;5.{u;.'e&1a'Ji-he Guam. is mayor or Bracebrtdge by Icolunation. ll-1 ' II YJAAJ Inn: ugucnnad Inn OBITUARY G.
