E. Yost of NebrasV'oA i ne Company Says ' tfo INDPEi t aSTEM TO ME P.: Nebraska Does Not Expect to Oper . ate It to Any Extent , WILL ABSORB THE EQUIPMENT Stockholders Will Not Get Over Thirty Cents on the Dollar. MANY ORDERS FOR REMOVAL Say Low Ratea Forced Independent to Do Bnalneaa at a Lose Bell Company to Sell Buildings. ."The Independent telephone exchange won't last thirty days in Omaha," said President C. E. Tost of the Nebraska Telephone company yesterday after the sale of the Independent system to the Nebraska company had been confirmed by Judge Munger of the federal court. Mr. Yost said the Nebraska company did not expect to operate the Independent system to any great extent when it pur chased It but much of the property of the Independent will be of value to the Bell company. He said there are great quantities of wires and cables, both above and under ground, as well as poles and other equipment necessary to the opera tion of a telephone system that are of value to the Nebraska company. "While we do not need it just at pres ent," said Mr. Yost, . "we are going to need It in the near future If Omaha keeps on growing and expanding as It has." Mr. Yost said the company eventually will sell the buildings, of which there axe four, two in Omaha, one in Florence and one In South Omaha. Many Phones Ordered Ont. In the office of the Independent com pany there are at present over 1,000 orders for the removal of telephones, according to Mr. Yost. He says he cannot say how many subscribers there are on the system in Omaha and the suburbs, but he be lieves all soon will turn in orders for removal of the telephones. , He declares that no company could operate a system on a paying basis on such rates as those of the Independent in Omaha. The rates were $2 per month for business and SI per month for residence telephones. It Is the opinion of Mr. Yost that, Judg ing from the price the Independent brought at the sale, the stockholders will not receive more than 25 to 30 cents on the dollar. The receiver's certificates, of which there are $300,000 worth, are to be paid for at par with interest This prob ably will be done some time during this week. . Lysie L Abbott, receiver, yesterday relinquished the management of the plant to the Nebraska TelepkoW-eernpany, SIe will distribute, .the proceeds' of hesale after WBico ms amies wui ena. , "I suppose if another group of pro moters should come tomorrow with a proposition for a new telephone system in the city the people would vote for it. remarked Mr, Yost in his office. "The Promoters of the Independent proposition came from California and no one knew much about them. They sold a quantity of bonds and establishes tne plant The plant has gone Into the hands of a re celver and is sold and the people are no better off than they were before they had the two systems. -' As to rates of the Nebraska company, there is no increase contemplated unless they should keep on taxing us so highly that we will have to raise the rates in order to survive. This system, of which I am president Is operating under lower rates than almost any similar system I know of In the coun try. In Denver, for example, they charge about 25 per cent more than in Omaha.1 The development of the Bell system In Omaha, the president said, is among the very best In the country, the company having between 27,000 and 28,000 telephones in Omaha, where the population Is 124,000.
