No Callaway Bonds.
Attorney General Grant Martin haa
given out an opinion that the railway
commission has no authority to au
thorize the issuance of bonds to the'
Callaway Milling fnd Kiectrlc com
pany of callawliy. The company",
which is a consolidation of the milling
and electric companies, had no right
to consolidate, or, at least. Mr. Martin
questions their right so to do and
holds as the electric light business of
the company is to be a small part of
the entire business it cannot be called
a public service corporation, and,
therefore, the railway c Miiaiission had
no right to authorize an issue of bonds

days (n Omaha." said President V. K.
Yoat of the Nebraska Telephone com
pany. after the sale of the Independ
ent system to the Nebraska company
had b.en confirmed by Judge Monger
of the fedeial court.
Mr Yost said the Nebraska com
pany did not expect to operate the In
dependent system to any great extent
when it purchased It. but much of the
property of the Independent will be
of value to the Bell company
Mr Yost said the company pventu
ally will sell the buildings, of which
there are four, two in Omaha, one In
Florence and one In South Omaha.
In the office of the Independent
company there are at present over L
Oon orders for the removal of tele

Clares that no company could operate
a system on a paying basis on such
rates as those of the Independent In
J Omaha; The rates were $2 per month
for business and $1 per month for reBi
denre telephones
It Is the opinion or Mr. Yost that.
Judging from the price the Independ
ent brought at the sale, the stockhold
ers will not receive more than 25 to
30 cents on the dollar.
