There are a number of important things which go to make telephone service efficient. None may be slighted in providing a worth while service. Prompt Installation of Service Orders to place telephones or to remove them to new locations are urgent orders. To complete them promptly means carrying spare facilities in all our central offices, spare wires in the cables, and large stocks of telephones and installation materials. Last year we installed 35,500 telephones and discontinued 25,500 telephones. Most installations are completed within a Week- Only one in ten takes longer than ten days. Keeping the System in Order The telephone itself is a delicate instrument, but back of it is an equally complicated wire and switchboard plant composed of thousands of small parts, every one of which must be kept in perfect order. Much of the plant is out of doors, and however strongly built, is necessarily subject to disturbance from storms. Last year there was an average of only one case of trouble for each telephone in Maryland. Except for troubles arising from storm damage most of these were corrected in less than half a day. Handling of the Calls Our operators are carefully selected and thoroughly instructed. They work under the best possible conditions and the supervision given them is of the helpful sort. The whole operating force thinks in terms of seconds. Operators are only human, and while calls are generally answered promptly, with the thousands handled hourly there is a negligible percentage of error and delay. Maryland sends 800,000 telephone messages daily. Of these, 225,000 are crowded into the peak of the business day. But it is a twenty-four hour, three hundred sixty-five day service, and midnight finds the force just as alert as at noon. The Telephone Directory The telephone directory must be accurate. As each new issue closes printing and delivery must be expedited. To keeP Maryland's directories up to date means adding and changing 135,000 listings yearly. Each issue for the State requires the printing and delivering of 192,000 directories. The last issues contained only III errors. Development of the System The extent to which the use of telephone service has grown can be measured by a simple test—think how seldom you make a call for someone and find that he has no telephone. Every year brings us nearer to having the telephone in every business place, home and farm. There are 162,500 telephones in the State of Maryland, a gain of 36 per cent in the past five years. Today there is one telephone for every nine people in the State. Telephone service is a matter of infinite detail and there will always be a small percentage of trouble which is unavoida ble. Where we fail it is not for want of trying and if our patrons will tell us frankly when troubles occur we shall be prompt to see that the proper remedies are applied.
