They may be told that compliance with their desires is imme diately impossible owing to lack of "telephone facilities" in a particular locality. "Why," one will say, "the poles and wires are on the street and the house is already wired." We wish that the problem were as simple as it sounds. There may be poles and wires, but every wire may be in use in giving service to others. There may be cable, but every circuit in it may be assigned to telephones already installed. There may be a telephone in the vacant house or apartment to which you move but no spare wires and circuits from your location to the central office. There may even be sections of switchboard in the central office but not available for operation on account of the lack of necessary switchboard apparatus such as ringing keys, relays, etc. The reason for the shortage of telephone equipment is simple. During the war period we were unable to maintain our reserve or stock plant as the same materials we use were required and taken for Government purposes and for industries proper ly favored by the Government. Since the war, with the unexpectedly prolonged prob lems of reconstruction,, production and delivery of materials needed to meet even current demands have been delayed. Every business concern is having similar ex periences. The manufacturers of telephone equipment have been bending every effort to fill our orders, but they, in turn, are meeting the same difficulties in securing rubber, paper, silk, glass, porcelain, tin, thread, shellac, metal parts and other articles not generally associated in the public mind with telephone service. At the same time with this abnormal situation with reference to materials there exists an unprecedented demand for telephone service, and even under these circum stances our record is one of fulfillment of demand. , In the first nine months of 1920 we made a total net gain of over 7300 telephones in the State of Oregon. A fact worthy of consideration in our operations is the large number of telephones handled in proportion to net increase. In those nine months we disconnected, connected and moved 41,140 instruments to secure the net gain above mentioned. We desire to give service as much as a patron wishes to receive it. We desire to promptly comply with the suggestions of public authorities who have taken a proper interest in the situation. We are facing abnormal conditions but we are trying to overcome our difficulties.
