Oregon Yes, it is an unusual fact, but the greater the number of telephones in our system, the more it costs us to operate each one of them! In most modern industries it is the other way around—the more units involved, the smaller the cost per unit. The telephone industry is perhaps the only major field where it is more expensive to operate a large number of units than it is a smaller quantity. With two telephone subscribers there is only one possible connec- tion. With three subscribers the system must provide for three connec tions. How many connections are required for twelve?* The answer is 66, and for 100 subscribers we must provide facilities for 4,950 possible conversations! As the telephones increase, the necessary wires and con nections multiply astronomically. Even with the most modern switch boards and equipment, the cost per telephone rises as the facilities grow larger in each exchange. Telephone rates in almost every7 exchange of the West Coast Telephone Company are from 20 to 28 years old, and are based on A system much smaller than the one we operate today. Our maintenance costs, installation costs, equipment, wages. . . all of our operating costs have increased until we have found it an economic necessity to request a moderate increase in our rate structure. f *) H ork out the telephone puzzle for yourself.
