The only sound policy which will meet these obligations is to continue to furnish the best possible service at the lowest cost consistent with financial safety. Earnings must be sufficient to assure the financial in~ tegrity of the business. Anything in excess goes toward extending the service or keeping down the rates. .The ideal of the Bell System, of which the Illinois Bell Telephone Company is a part, is the most telephone service and the best, at the least cost to the user.
