ZtAak•Zei.V.k • • • • • • • • Facing a Big uestion T HE success orany business enter- prise, either private or public, is dependent upon two prime fac- tors: First, it must fully serve the pur- post for which it was established. Sec- ond, it must produce adequate revenues. To be sufficient, the revenues must cover all the necessary expenses attend- ant upon the conduct of the business; they must cover the cost of upkeep of the property and must provide a rea- sonable return upon the capital in- vested. Any returns less than this will im- pair the usefulness ofxte enterprise from the standpoint of it's relation to the public, destroy its credit and finally the end must he financial disaster. Since the beginning of the war de- . Fided econTnic changes have taken place. Prices of commodities have in- creased to meet the increased cost of their production. Labor has been forced to charge more for its services in order to adjust itself to the con- stantly rising costs of life's necessities. So adjustments and readjustments of prices are being made - to meet the con- ditions growing out of the war. The telephone business is governed by the same economic principles and is subject to the same conditions that in- fluence private business—except that its charges for service cannot be raised or lowered overnight, like the price of sugar, to correspond with fluctuating costs. So that, while the costs of Libor and material entering into the operation and mainktiance of our plant and busi- ness have increased tremendously, our revenues have remained practically un- changed. This condition has resulted in a deficit of approximately • million and • half dollars at the end of 1917. The big question which we are facing is to wipe out this deficit in order to maintain the plant at a point of high service efficiency and to maintain the financial integrity of the company.
