By the Grant County Telephone
Co. 400 Miles Of Wire
Strung Since May LIST. A
Bit Of History.

niS OA history.
That the rural telephone lines
are good thing no one ever dis
puted-but to organize a compa.
ny and have 400 miles of wire
and 400 phones in use is a record
few, if any com m unities can boast
of doing in the same length OF
time as did the farmers and
others in this county-eight
months.
When the subject was first
talked OF by Henry Cunningham,
of Melrose, last winter, some
were inclined to make light of it..
But Mr.. Cunningham was not to
be SO easily downed and kept
talking. 1t was not long until
others could see what a nice
thing it would be, and they put
their shoulders to the wheel, so
to speak, and began pushing the
matter with all possible energy.
Soon the matter had shaped it.
self SO that meeting was called,
from which time the Grant
County Telephone Co., has exist
ed.
And what a success it has
proven is known to all who have
had anything to do with the
company. The first poles were
set aud wire was strung in May
Since then over 400 miles have
been strung; over 400 phones
connected .and 100 more will
have been added within another
month. The county is covered
by a network of wire by the
company-its members talk
from one town to another with
out extra charge-the farmers
can talk to the merchant in town
and find out just what he can get
for his produce before hitching
up his team, or talk to friend
or relative in town, and have
them attend to any little errand
that he may wish to have done,
thus many times saving a trip to
town. On the other hand the
people in town may do the same
thing and thus save much
trouble-not enumerating the
mum Der of times that the mem
bers may use the lines to chat
with friends and relatives.
To build the line thus far has
caused an expenditure of over
$4,000 No small sum of mon
ey to be put into circulation by
one concern, and large part of
which has been handled with
profit by Mnbank parties. All
this must be taken into consid-
GRAFTON.
Central offices have been or
will be established in all the
towns and villages in the county,
and within short time the com
pany's line will be connected with
the Tri-State at Big Stone. The
members will then be able to
talk from their homes toany place
in the country, to the cities and
other towns on that line.
All in all the citizens of the
county are to be congratulated
on having such a good system in
SO short a time, and Mr.. Gun
bingham is to be congratulated
on having been the first man to
see the feasibility of a rural tele
phone system throughout the
county.

water company was to raise and rebuild
its settling basin. In consideration the
city would extend the franchise, which
would expire in April 1897, for period
Of six years. and during the siX-year period
the hydrant rentals were to be at the rate
of SIS per year. An ordinance was passed
TO this effect.
1t is now held by the water company
that this agreement is in full force and
effect and that the city is therefore
estopped from denying the validity of the
franchise of the water company for the
extended period.
1t appears, however that on February
70, 1906 tho city council Of Plattsmouth did
pass an ordinance declaring the franchise
of the water company created under the
original ordinance of 1856, would terminate
ON March II. 1906 the twenty years for
which the same was granted elapsing
March II. 1906.
The petition of the plaintiffs asks that
