'Look List of Removal
' Order Ar on Haad.
The Florence office of the Independent
Telephone company is now (closed and all
the Independent telephones of that town
are out of service. This Is Oie.result of
the rspld dlacontlnutnce of these 'phones
since the property -gs sold to the No
braska Telephone company. At the Ne
braska .telephone office it is said the
South Omaha office, of, the Independent
would probably be closed about Septem
ber 1. . ,( . . . t
Telephones "are being taken out of resi
dences and business places at the rate of
about 200 per. day. A, long list of ordeis
for removal constantly awaits the work
men. It is estimated .tnere are only about
3,000 Independent telephones still in use
in the sone formerly served , by this
company here. ; : Of ' these, many are on
the list of those ordered out - It Is , ex
pected that by September I. the number
still in service' in Omaha wUI be greatly
reduced, and that. it will not be long
after that until the two offices In Omaha
will be closed." The Nebraska Telephone
company will then sell the four build
ings. ' ' ' ' . . 1 '
Contracts Allowed to Die.
Although there ' were some business
houses tn the city that had long term
contracts with the Independent for tele
phone service at the time the property
. . . . . i . .
was a.old by the receiver, July 1. they
made no effort to have the contract made
good, but many of these were among
the first to order their telephones out.
The Hcnshaw hotel was the first to,
order out the automatic telephone when
it was announced that the federal Judge
had confirmed the sale. The city of
Omaha followed directly after the Hen
shaw with an order for removal. Other
orders have been pouring in from that
date to the present time.
