budget is now designed to
enable us to maintain ac-
ceptable service and hopefully
a financially viable position
that benefits both the customer
and company," Beck stated.
He continued, Only through
fair and reasonable rates and
constant surveillance of
operating costs can we properly
finance our projected growth. If
we are to remain viable, we
must receive an adequate rate
of return on our investment. If
not, we have no alternative but
to evaluate our service and
growth expenditures and keep
construction coats at a level
commensurate with earnings.
Of course we intend, even in the
face of the present economic
situation, to keep service at a
high level" If the general
economic conditions continue to
deteriorate we will have to
adjust our construction budget
accordingly, Beck added.
The largest portion of the
telephone construction budget
is $37.5 million earmarked for
central office equipment
i COEi. This includes providing
One Plus and/ or Zero Plus
Dialing to 34 exchanges. By the
end of the year, 98 per cent of
the company's customers will
have One Plus Dialing and 70
per cent will have Zero Plus
Dialing.
Other equipment additions
include 45 projects to provide
automatic number iden-
tification of 1 f and 0 f- Dialed
calls for billing purposes for one
and two-party customers,
making this service available in
50 per cent of the company's
offices.
Another part of the central
office equipment budget in-
cludes the addition of five
computer operated switching
facilities to new or existing
offices in larger service areas,
and the installation of four
smaller electronic offices in
smaller exchanges.
Beck said both types of the
new offices provide faster,
more accurate service while
offering new services as well as
being adaptable to offer ser-
vices for the future. The
equipment processes large
volumes of calls at high speeds
while providing greater
flexibility in adjusting to
changing communications
needs.
These offices automatically
perform self-checking func-
tions, pin-pointing trouble or
potential trouble that normally
goes unnoticed until service is
interrupted.
A new electronic office being
constructed in Bryan will be the
company's first toll office
operated by electronic equip-
ment.
Another major portion of the
budget amounts to $29.9 miliion
to cover facilities located
outside the central offices. Of
this amount. $27.0 million is
designated for growth and
modernization which includes
expansion and updating of long
distance and extended area
service facilities and buried and
underground cable.
Beck said other parts of the
budget include $2.9 million for
land purchases and con-
struction of new buildings and
building additions.
Other items in the overall
construction budget total $39.3
million for private automatic
branch exchange iPABXi
equipment, telephones, labor
and materials to connect the
customer's telephone to service
lines, vehicles, furniture and
fixtures, and tools and work
equipment.
