of Them Out.
There are too many telephones in the
county court house and some of them will
have to be dispensed with. At least this
Is the conclusion reached by the county
supervisors who reconvened in adjourned
session yesterday afternoon. At present
there are Bell and Independent phones in
the Offices of the clerk of the district court,
,ounty auditor, sheriffs and district court
room. There are also both Bell and In
dependent telephones at the county poor
farm and in the court house in Avoca.
The discussion by the members of the
board as 70 the ACCESSIBILITY of dispensing
with some Of the phones led TO the report
that II was the intention of the supervisors
to emulate the example set by the Board of
Education and remove all the Bell phones
from the court house. This. however. was
emphaticaiy denied by Supervisors Bulls.
Spencer and Setz when asked regarding the
rumor last night Chairman Bulls, speak
ing for the other members. said: ut has
never been our intention to remove the
Bell phones and retain those of the In
dependent company Such a course has
never even been discussed or thought of by
the board We are, however, of the opinion
that there is no need for many tele-
phones in the court house and we have
practically decided that some of them must
go. We have, however no intention to dis
eliminate against one company in favor Of
the other We will treat both alike. We
realize that the sheriff"s office needs the
| phones of both companies and possibly the
auditor does. but we think some of the
offices can do without so many telephones.
The expense, in our opinion is I'M
| necessary"
Some action in regard to the phones Is
| looked for at todays session. The session
| Yesterday afternoon was devoted to the al
| lowing of bills and claims left over from
