COMPANY
ASKS EXTENSION
OF war CHARGES
Lincoln Firm Alleges That Ex-
ira Expense Has Caused
Them to Operate at Loss
During Past Six Months.

Lincoln, April 26.-Alleging that
the company has been unable to pay
expenses and that lack of labor
has kept it from keeping its lines up
to the standard, the Lincoln Tele-
phone company has made applica-
ton to the State Railway commits
sion for permission to extend its
war rates for a period of six months
longer.
The company claims that it has
operated during the past year at a
deficit of $24 ,767, but the present
rate, if continued, will enable them
to recuperate their loss in FIVE
months. They also claim that be-
cause of lack of help that their
lines have been allowed to run
down. They cite as an example the
exchange at Geneva, where in
ordinary times they keep three line
men to keep up the efficiency of the
exchange. At the present time they
have but one man and boy to do
the work.
1t is understood that the Nebras-
ka Telephone company will make
the same application for a continual
ton of the war rates.
