publisher jas thoxaj asaoc editor notes and comments the warm may sunshine which quickly dries out the earth and makes the roads in stouffville and sur rounding townships major contributors to air pollution has been getting in some fast work during recent days and dust is again a problem in the town when we think of dust we usually feel rather secure about it providing we live on a paved street or sufficiently far back from a dirt road but it is false security dust carries for great distances and often remains suspend ed in the air for long periods of time therefore distance from dust does not spell immunity the dust may settle on a paved street only to be raised again by passing vehicles stouffville has quite an extensive dirt road system to maintain and it is desirable that the dust nuisance be dealt an effective blow early in the season ups and downs of ds coud from froai front page the begtolng of 1906 we were again pressed for capital and decided to conduct a system atic campaign to bell more stock but before doing so took action to protect the in terest of those who had been the original shareholders lp to that time every cent of profit had been expended in that our

books showed that these ac cumulated and reinvested pro fits amounted to at least 25 of the paidup capital in ad dition a large amount of vol unteer labor was invested in our plant to protect the orig inal shareholders a stock dividend of 25 was declared our campaign to sell stock wis unsatisfactory but during the years 1909 and 1910 we ex perienced the greatest annual percentage increase in the number of telephones in serv ice that we have had during all our history from 200 tele phones in service the number rose to 520 this required capi tal and on march 1st 1910 we floated our first issue of bonds s15000 bearing 6 interest and maturing after five years after retiring the mary c bruce mortgage we had suooo remaining long before that bond issue fell due we were in dire need of more capital and on march 1st 1913 made a second bond issue of 23000 our plan was to endeavor to retire the first issue by re deeming the issue by exchang- ng bonds of the new issue and in this we succeeded in making the exchange for all but an insignificant percentage but we were disappointed in the sale of the surplus from the new issue the bonds sold slowly in fact 4500 were nev er sold but lay in the vault of the standard bank until oc tober 1922 within less than five months of their maturity date when they were stolen by the bandits who blew the banks vault those bonds were payable to bearer they had been signed and counter signed by our proper officials and might have been cashed in some faraway place had our company been widely known and had our credit stood high our obscurity saved us sometimes it is an advant age to be unknown and pover ty stricken to this day we have never heard of those bonds but when they matured in 1923 we were inconvenienc ed and put to some expense ere we could obtain a discharge from the trust co that held the mortgage for the bond holders but let us return to the year 1913 during that year our fin ances reached a critical stage our bonds had not sold as we had hoped a special meeting of shareholders was called for nov 22nd upon reading the minutes of that meeting i am reminded of some circumstan ces that may be interesting according to the minutes 20 shareholders attended in per son but not one by proxy pro bably no proxy forms had been circulated in the hope that this might result in greater at tendance avhen the hour for the meeting arrived the secre tary announced that a oheck of those who had registered upon inquiry at the switch board one of the operators said that she believed she could locate mr smith this was successful mrs bruce was located and the meeting was able to function incidentally mrs luisa e bruce was the first woman to make the ven ture of attending a meeting of our shareholders how custom has changed during the 42 years that have passed having obtained a quorum the directors presented a for mal report the substance of which was that our company had reached a crisis in its fin ancial affairs that all the mo ney received from the recent bond issue had been expended the directors had reached their limit in borrowing money upon their personal security and there were only two alterna tives open sell more stork or sell the plant and wind up our business after much discus sion the meeting appointed a committee of ten shareholders who were not directors to act along with the directors in a campaign to sell more slock on december 1st this special committee met with the direc tors to plan our campaign it was decided that the objective would be to sell sufficient stock to bring the total paidup stock to 25000 at the annual meet ing held feb 25 1914 we were able to report that the paidup capital had reached 28150 thus had passed the most ser ious crisis in our companys history for the time being the directors felt that by compari son they were living on easy street but world war i was drawing near although we were blissfully unconscious of the fact with the outbreak of war at the beginning of august 1914 there was an immediate rise in prices of all materials and very soon wages began to rise fortunately for us almost ev ery mile of our possible pole line had been constructed and for some time we were able to carry on without increasing our capital but by 1917 we had revived our old custom of borrowing money upon the laff of the week ii j modernism im still

our to tal paidup capital to s350co in january 1922 we ventured to apply to the standard bank for a short term loan on the credit of the company we succeeded to the point that our application was forwarded to the head office where it appar ently was killed or on feb 3 all the directors signed a note that was cashed by the stand ard bank but easier days were not far distant at the annual meet ing in feb 1923 a resolution was passed at the request of the standard bank authoriz ing the directors to borrow on the credit of the company such sums as in their judg ment may be required also on march 1st of that year a new issue of bonds was float ed for 10000 due ten years after date after retiring the preceding bond issue the bal ance was available tfor further expansion and that issue did sell as and when we were in need of money after 19 years of stress and strain the b s tel co had really established a fair credit standing in 1923 there was a business recession that passed and we
