Southern Bell
Has 1972 Gains
The Athens District, which
includes Cumming, continued
its boom telephone growth in
1972 with over 11,900 new
telephones installed, Southern
Bell Manager Walter Stapleton
said.
“Last year was the sixth
successive period that Southern
Bell’s Athens District had
grown by more than six per
cent,” he added. “In 1972 we
had an 18.7 per cent growth
rate.”
“We are proud to be a part of
this tremendous development,”
Stapleton said. “We believe this
type of growth is a very valid
indicator of the great drawing
power this area has shown."
With this one-year gain, the
Athens District now has a total
of 122,259 telephones; and
Southern Bell spent $9.3 million
on new construction in the
district last year.
With over 19,000 employees in
Georgia, last year Southern Bell
paid $195 million in salaries and
over $72 million in taxes.
In Georgia, over 867,000
telephones were installed in
1972 for a net gain of 224,500 and
over $207 million spent on new
construction.
“Even with this vast amount
of money spent on construction
during the last 12 months,”
Stapleton said, “in 1973 we plan
to spend almost sls million to
meet the demands of the 13,000
new telephones we expect to be
in service by the end of the
year.”
Not only is Athens District
growing, he added, but all of

SINGING

beginning at 7:30. The follow
ers & The Lake City Fishers
are the special singers. Every
one is Invited to attend.
Georgia is going through “a
period of staggering develop
ment.”
It took Southern Bell from
1879 to 1960 to gain its first
million telephones in Georgia,
but only 10 years to gain its
second million. “We expect to
have our third million in five
years, by 1975,” Stapleton said.
“The money it requires to
keep up with this type of growth
is hard to comprehehdn. In the
three years from 1973 to 1975,
Southern Bell will spend over
$906 million on new construction
in the state,” he said.
“Our total investment in the
state,” he added, “amounts to
one and one-third billion dollars
and is expected to reach $2
billion by the end of 1975.”
