SUPPLYING TELEPHONE SERVICE
Occasionally subscribers move and ask us for a continuance of telephone service
at their new location. 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. '
