Bride Of q sioux City
Man.

F. r. Bbersol, president OF the Independ-
emit Telephone company. in response 20 an
inquiry of the city council concerning the
intent Of the company toward carrying out
it's franchise contract with the city. sent q
letter which the city clerk received yes
terday, stating that the company would be-
gin the erection of its exchange building
and would complete its conduit system this
spring as soon as the weather settled. He
intimated that the telephone system would
be in working order by the time the two
years limit fixed by the franchise had ex-
pired. The company received it's franchise
by a vote of the people In q special election
held over a year ago. Barly last spring the
conduits were laid ON Twenty-ftfth street
in advance of the paving of that street.
The company purchased a site for the ex-
change building from David Anderson at
Twenty-fifth and NJ streets, opposite the
Workmen temple. Since that time nothing
has been done. Sections Of the conduits
which had been distributed along other
streets were again taken up late last fall
and piled on the vacant lot.
The plans and specifications require that
the company construct conduit systems
throughout the business section OF the city.
In the residence district poles may be used.
south Omaha schoOi Not Dropped.
N. NJ. Graham of the South Omaha High
school is anxious TO correct a rumor to
the effect South Omaha had been dropped
from the accredited list OF the North Cen
trail Association of Universities. Such a
report was printed in Chicago. No such
knowledge has been communicates to South
Omaha, the city most concerned. Mr.. Ora
-. III -
the State Bureau of Accredited High
schools concerning the matter. MI. Reed
said as far as he knew no action had been
taken by the committee OF the assocIa-
ton which would affect South Omaha.
Further he said he thought the standard
OF the South Omaha institution fully up to
requirements and that the city could not be
dropped; but might demand recognition.
The effect of dropping the city would be
that all students OF South Omaha would
have to take an entrance examination upon
applying for enrolment in any of the col
leges of the association.
