Telephone system capitalizes growth outpacing revenue gains
The system expanded plant investment by 184 between 1945 and 1954, driving higher depreciation and interest on government investment. Government capital grew from 17,047,264 in 1945 to 2,898,090 in 1954, with interest rising from 737,977.66 to 1,801,350.31. Employee numbers rose 98 percent as payroll tripled, while annual grants in lieu of taxes reached 211,851 in 1954. Revenues from rentals and long distance traffic do not cover these combined costs and grants.
