HERDMAN HAS 'PHONE PROJECT Talk of Competln Telephone Systems la Omaha Is Becoming; More Plentiful. .Lee Herdmaa has returned from an out ing at Clear Lake, Minn,, with the an nouncement that he proposes to participate In the fight for an independent telephone franchise In Omaha.

Auld, presl dent of the City National bank of Lin coln and reputed to be millionaire. "We are waiting for the situation to clear," said Mr. Hordman, "but I can tfcy that we will have a proposition to present for a legitimate independent telephone busi ness In this city. Tom Blackburn.' repre senting the Stevens franchise application, will be forced to show his hand soon. He will either have to put up a bond to Insure the good faith and genuineness of the con cern or drop out. ' "We shall propose to establish an auto matic exchange, permitting the subscriber to make hi own connections and doing away with the girls In the central office. The Stevens-Blackburn proposition' Is so low that a legitimate telephone business cannot be conducted under It. Further more, it is an offer that we cannot possibly meet, as It Is our Intention, to build the system here and do business." A. B. Hunt says his franchise applica tion is still quiescent. He, like Herdman, 13 waiting for action by the council on the Stevens-Blackburn application. This will come up for hearing Monday afternoon. It is said the council will ask the com pany to file a $30,000 guarantee bond and a $30,000 cash bond before the ordinance Is passed. Harvest Hand Rates To Minnesota and North Dakota.
