Pacific Tel & Tel Terms 1959 'Year of Progress' The Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Company described 1959 as "A Year of Progress" in its annual report released today. A gain of 509,000 telephones made during the past year was topped only by the 513,000 recorded in 1956. The company reported a gain of 178,000 extension telephones and 550,000 color sets. Total telephones in service at years end approached 7.5 million. LONG DISTANCE CALLS ran more than 12 per cent above 1958. The expansion of Direct Distance Dialing now makes it possible for about 50 per cent of Pacific Telephone's customers to dial their own long distance calls, according to the report. Overall construction — new buildings and equipment to take care of growth, and replacements to keep service and facilities up-to-date—cost the company $341 million. The 1958 figure was $333 million. Gross plant on the company's books averaged $3.1 billion last year against $2.8 billion the year before. Average capital for the two years — stock, debentures, short-term borrowings and surplus — totaled $2.5 billion and $2.3 billion respectively. Earnings per share of common stock were $1.47 compared with $1.28 in 1958. Dividends in 1958 amounted to $1.07 per share compared with $1.00 in 1958. Fees reported are adjusted to reflect a 7-for-1 split of common stock made last August. The percent return on gross plant was 5.75 per cent compared with 5.3 per cent in 1958. Revenues in 1959 totaled $040,706,377, compared with $938,435,557 in 1958. But operating expenses, taxes and interest all were higher in 1959. Car Insurance Down Premiums for comprehensive automobile insurance on private passenger cars in Orange County were reduced by an average of $7 March 1, the National Automobile Underwriters Assn. has announced. ANAHEIM Conversation Pieces Area Abounds In Parks Experts agree Orange County looks after its own where recreation and parks are concerned. County officials say there is about one acre of land set aside for recreation purposes for every 240 local citizens. Planners say ideally there should be one acre per 300 persons set aside for parks and recreation facilities. IN ORANGE COUNTY there are 1,055 acres devoted to recreational pursuits—not including private enterprises such as Knott's Berry Farm and Disneyland. There are a total of 54 county and municipal parks in addition to a number of state beaches and forest areas. But population growth is necessitating government leaders to look for more and more acreage for park purposes and it is estimated that 6,800 acres of playland will be needed by 1980. He Got Ahead!
