Near Million Mark In State Auto Licenses A total of 973,791 automobile li- censes were issued during 1923 and $14,363,000 in fees collected, Secre- tary of State Emmerson announced this week. It constitutes the most remarkable record in Illinois' history, he said. Comparing the figures with those of the preceding year, which had hitherto 'held the record, it is shown that in 1922 the total collections were $11,943,376, for which 786,190 licenses were issued. The vast increase in the volume of business handled by his depart- ment has by no means overwhelmed it, Mr. Emmerson said. He pointed out that already there have been issued 92,787 automobile licenses for 1924, with collections of more than $1,000,000. Exauisitely Embroidered Linens in Swatow and Grass Linen.

PHONE GROWTH BREAKSRECORD Illinois Bell Adds Stations In 1923 73,000 . By W. R. ABBOTT (President, Illinois Bell Telephone Company.) A net gain of 73,280 telephone sta- tions in 1923 in the territory served by it is the record of the Illinois Bell Telephone Company. All previous records for telephone station growth were broken in the new mark set by the company. The 1923 figure was 13.3 per cent greater than the highest previous year. To obtain this new high mark the company made a total of 197,361 tele- phone installations, and discontinued a total of 124081 telephones. The station gain in Chicago alone was 51,951. At the end of the year the number of telephones in Chicago was 692,645. During 1923 the company spent for extensions to its plant approximately $18,000,000. For 1924, for similar work, the company will spend approximately $19,500,000. The additions are necessary to meet the demands of the public, and also to take care of added use of the tele- phone. In 1922 the daily average num- ber of calls handled by the company was 4,154,931. This was increased to a daily average of 4,635,101 in 1923. With the added telephone stations must be provided additional plant. Every new telephone must have facil- ities for connection with every other telephone. During the war the demands of the TS A PI FST TR RYT RE ----_ government for both material and manufactured goods used in the elec- rical industries was greater than for almost any other class of commodities and this demand took precedence over any other needs. The result was that for some- time after the close of the war there was a shortage of equip- ment needed by telephone companies. This shortage and the rapid growth of Chicago and many other places in the state has made it difficult for us to keep up with the demand for ex- tension of our service. But we are making great efforts to meet this de- mand, as evidenced by our récord of growth for 1923. The year has been an active one in every department of our business. The large growtl as outlined above has called for the most active work on the part of the Engineering and Con- struction Departments and the in- crease in the number of our tele- phones has naturally brought increase in the Traffic, Accounting and Com- mercial 'work. The number of em- ployees in telephone work in Illinois is steadily increasing. The Illinois Bell now has on its pay rolls more than 24,000 persons. Although the station growth and the additional number of calls were large, our service, both local and long distance, has been good throughout the year. In June and August we placed in service in Chicago the first machine switching offices--Central and State, serving about 23,000 telephones in the down-town district of Chicago. The operation of these exchanges has been very satisfactory and the subscribers are pleased with the service. During the year we offered and sold common stock of our company of a par value of $10,000,000, also an issue of $50,000000 first and refunding mortgage 5 per cent bonds. From the proceeds, of this sale we retired the first mortgage bonds of the Chi- cago Telephone Company due Decem- i WINNET] For Investors having securities maturing during the month of Jan- uary of this year and those that have funds to invest, we submit the highest grade of FIRST MORT- GAGE 6% Bonds, on com- pleted homes in our com- munity.
