The disastrous fire which swept
the business district of Weeping Wa
ter on the morning of Saturday,
January 22, gave the Lincoln Tele
phone and Telegraphy company's
emergency facilities the first severe
test they have had in many years
a test which was met successfully.
The company was one of the
heaviest losers in the fire, all its cen
tral office equipment being complete
ly destroyed.
Destruction of the switchboard
left Weeping Water without means
of communicating with the outside
world and Manager Joe Abrams
found it necessary to climb a pole and
tap a line, at a little after 2 a. m.,
to get word of thed isaster to com
to get word of the disaster to corn
emergency switchboards, which had
been in readiness for years in anti
ciptation of just such contingencies,
were loaded into trucks at the Lin
coln warehouse. They arrived in
Weeping Water an hour later. At
the same time, crews of cable splicers
and switchboardmen began to pour
into Weeping Water.
With the fire still raging, prepar
ations to re-establish Weeping Wa
ter's telephone service were begun.
Temporary central office quarters
wre secured in the small frame
building which serves the town as a
city hall, the emergency boards were
placed and the work of making cable
connections was started. Toll ser
vice was established about 5 a. m.
Full service on rural lines and par
tial service on town lines was estab
lished by 2 p. m., Saturday, and by
3 a. m. Sunday, full service was es
tablished for the Weeping Water
exchange.
The Lincoln company is proud of
the manner in which its emergency
plans met this test. It is proud of
the members of its repair crews, who
cheerfully worked long hours under
trying conditions, and it is doubly
proud of Miss Shirley Bates, night
operator, who gave a remarkable ex
hibition of courage by remaining at
her post to give warning to inmates
of the burning buildings.
