During the war the telephone companies, like most other in dustries, wero hit hard by high prices for equipment and by the loss of trained employees. Now our former employees aro gradually being military service and resuming their old positions. Although the price of telephone equipment is still very high, we are able to obtain it more promptly than a few months ago. Our plant facilities, which during tho war were extended only for urgent needs, aro gradually being restored to a normal condition. And telephone sorvlce, too, is steadily improving and getting buck to our pre-war standard. But tho cost of furnishing telephone service is much moro than it was when tho war began. dfl&flft.5 And high prices for equipment and generally high operating ex penses aro problems wo shall uo doubt have to meet for several years. f Nebraska Telephone Company.
