price or iimildobuw i put freshness in summer menus difficul ties congestion of traffic or the connecting circuits be came so great that to get an urgent message through was frequently a trying experience sometimes important messages were delayed by prolonged conversations about nothing in 1915 a proposal was made in the executive committee of the telephone union that addi tional circuits should be erect ed to handle the increasing traffic cur representatives stated that our company would invest no more capital in the erection of trunk circuits un less a toll charge was imposed the other companies were agreed that the time had come for toll charges to be made but there was not agreement as to how they should be made in 1916 several companies within our union decided to apply for increases in rates and the union at the same time decid ed to apply for permission to impose toll charges when the matter was argued before the municipal board the applica tion failed partly because there was not unanimity as to how the tolls should be applied and partly because the board felt that an increase in tele phone rentals with a lessening of the free service was too much to ask it was not until 1921 that free exchange be tween systems within our tele phone union came to an end to all telephone companies storms and weather conditions generally are of great import ance a company like the bell co with its farflung system can calculate with some de gree of accuracy what its loss from storms will be in each year because damage from storms is usually confined to a limited area and the law of averages operates a company operating within a small area as most independent systems do operate can make no such calculation the system is hit or it escapes and when it is hit the consequence may be disas trous on one occasion the company of which dr doan was president for many years was all but wiped out by two ice storms that struck within three days of each other the ice from the first storm was still on the wires when the second storm came and when it had passed the poles and the wire of their entire system were ruined and the directors were ready to give up the ghost the poles and wires continued to litter the high ways with no effort being made by the company to begin the work of reconstruction the subscibers began to in quire when they could expect telephone service to be restor ed and were told that as far as the company was concerned service would not be restored as they had not sufficient re serve to repair the damage the subscribers appealed to the municipal board and stated that they were willing to pay any rate that the board might mention up io 2000 per year if the company would rebuild our company has never suff ered such wholesale disaster but we have had some serious losses in november 1909 we experienced our first serious trouble from an ice storm there was no frost in the ground when a drizzling rain froze to our wires which soon heaviest trunk line

erable sum in november 1951 a severe ice storm destroyed two and one half miles of our heavy trunk line on the 9th con of markham this put many lines out of commission for exactly one month this interruption to service would have been of much longer duration had it not been for the friendly assist ance of the bell telephone co and also of the ontario hydro commission the hydro com mission rented space on their poles for erection of our cable and officials of the bel co enabled us to obtain much quicker delivery of cable than we could otherwise have ob tained and they also loaned to us their gang of cable splicers and their equipment about the year 1937 we began to make a thorough and systematic work of replace ment of poles and wires the first such overhaul in our his- tory this work was interrupt ed by wartime conditions and was not resumed until one year after the war closed some of the poles and wire had served for at least forty years before being discarded the recent dyelopments in our growth are matters of com mon knowledge and need only to be mentioned the installa tion of a new switchboard in comfort and grace estate car space and 40 mpg by day the versatile
