The present North Platto telephone company has been in business sixteen months and during that time it has in creased tho number of phones in uso in the city to 564, and in addition has en couraged seventy-four farmers, living along lines running into North Platte, to put in phones. This increase more than doubles the system as it existed prior to the pres ent company taking hold, and Iho sub scribers are thus getting tho benefit of tho increased number of people with whom they can communicate without additional cost. During the past sixteen months tho company has strung 10,042 feet of cop per and lead cable weighing 14,240 pounds, which gives an additional 600 wires to the central office. ' It has shipped in four cars of poles for tele phono work, and replaced 174 old phonos with new instruments. All of theso improvements add, of course, to the efficiency of the service rendered. This is certainly a most excellont showing and certainly reflects credit on Manager Warner and his company and is evidence that they are anxious to do anything and everything reasonable to givo the patrons tho best possible service, and there is no question but that tho service at present is as good as will be found anywhere. One thing especially commendable about Mana ger Warner is tho promptness with which ho attends to and rectifies any complaint mdo by patrons, thus evi dencing his desire to satisfy everybody with tho service.
