In the company's annual re- port, President George M. Welch cited net operating income of $9,- 884;000 compared with $10,674,- 000 in 1939—the last year of pre- war activity. Michigan Bell earnings repre- sented a return of 4.1 per cent on the company's plant invest- ment against 5.6 per cent in 1939. Pointing out that shortages of materials have resulted in over- loaded facilities and a heavy backlog of service demands, Welch emphasized that "as soon as ma- terials and manpower are avail- able, satisfactory margins of plant must be restored. This will re- quire an increase in capital in- vestment with relation to the vol- ume of business 'which will add to the net revenue requirements to cover the fixed charges of the additional plant." The company paid dividends of $5.74 per share of $100 par stock, 25 cents above the 1942 declaration. Operating taxes of $13,858,000 were $2,408,000 above those of 1942 and were the equiv- alent of $12.83 per telephone. Operating payrolls increased $5,- 322,000 to $27,965,000. Despite the shortage of tele- phone materials for civilian pur- poses, the number of telephones in service increased nearly 75,000 over 1942, reaching a new high of more than 1,110,000.
