It is rumored that - thc stock-
holders of thc Nebraska Telephone -
phone Co have appropriated
$25,000 for improvements to their
in Nebraska City. trhe il11prO\'e-
Inents will consist of a central
energy systcm. All of thc wires
will run through cables and no
exposed wires uscd. After thc
new system is installed patrons
of the exchange will not have to
ring central to get a conncction.
When the person using the phone
takes thc receiver from the hook
a tiny electric light will indicate
thc number calling. After thc
person is through talking the
hanging up of thc rcc'cr extinguishes -
tinguishes thc light and central
disconnects thc linc. The light
remains burning til the parties
are through talking and it is not
necessary for central to cut in on
the line to determine when thc
user of the phone has finished.-
