Miss McClure Retires After 10
Years' Service With Tele
phone Company.
Elizabeth' L. McClure, 2405 South
Thirty-second street, one of the pio
neer telephone women' of the United
States, retired from the service of
the Nebraska Telephone Co. last
Saturday, after a record of 40 years
with this company.
She entered the service of the Ne
braska Telepphone Co. in 1880, at
the time of its organization, and she
quit pulling plugs the day the Ne
braska company vas merged with
the Northwestern Bell Telephone
Co.
On September 1. 1880. when she
was 16, "Miss Mac," began her
service in the Union block, Fif
teenth and Farnaui streets, with
Revel France a"s manager of the
company. The telephone business
was in a primitive stage at that
time. Miss McClure served as chief
operator for 35 vears and during
Lihe last three years she was assign
ed to special work tn the general
offices, 9
A farewell banquet was given for
her in the toll operators' rest room
on the day of retirement. President
W. B. T. Belt. Manager A. A. Low
nan, L. M. Holiday and other of
ficials of the company responded to
toasts'. Miss McClure was given a
watch by some of her old associates.
This veteran of the switchboard was
a memher of the Telephone Pioneers
of America.
Board Prevented by Court
From Closing Road Contracts
The three democratic county com
missioners were frustrated yester
day in an effort to obtain a modi
fication of a restraining , order
against awarding $1,500,000 founty
paving contracts at this time.'
John P. Breen, representing sev
eral clients, stated that the action
of the commissioners was "a strange
movement," which' probably meant
that they wanted to include the con
tractors as parties to the restraining
order.
The restraining order will be
heard before Judge Sears Thursday
morning. A. . D. Compton. demo
cratic commissioner, will be suc
ceeded on Thursday by T. F.
Stroud, republican. .
