- Y \ 7, / / ( 1 o BACK DOGR MADE FRONT AT LINCOLN Government Has 0dd Way to Re- arrange Plans of Postoffice Building at Capital. AGEE CONFERS WITH BOARD (From a Statf Correspondent.) LINCOLN, June 16.—(Special.)—Lincoln peovle are mad. The new $280.000 addition to the postoffice bullding is the bone of contention and the cause of all the woe. The plans eall for closing up the present front entrance and making the main en- irance at the back door. The Commercial club, Postmaster Brown and others have remonstrated with the construction department of the govern- ment and tried to show them that the place for the main entrance is on the front side of the bullding facing the busi- l ness section of the city, but the latest intelligences indicate that it will be the back street entrance or no entrance at all. No suggestions from the Lincoln Com- merelal club seem to have any ‘effect and the Lincoln postoffice will have its front antrance on the P street side, while the | spacious present front with three doors wiil be closed up and one door only will be used. The south door, which was so handy for the public will also be closed, lcaving the people of the city to travel around to the back side of the building ta zet in Milwaunkee Value Ralsed.

Mr. Meyer said, in part: More Men Ave Needed. For lack of men, ships are laid up at navy yaris, where they rapidly de- teriorate, lfke a vacant house. All small | ships and all cruisers now laid up for lack of men are needed in Mexico and elsewhere, ana should be ready for an emergency cull to prevent, the employ- | ment of battleships at gunboat duty. The complement of enlisted men at shore stations and training stations has been cut down, with a decided loss of ef ficlency; and greatly to the discontent and discomfort of the men. . o ‘To enumerate the ships in the navy | and make a lat_of new ships authorized ! #ives no idea whatever of the true condi- tlon of the navy as to its readiness for war. Ships without men are of little use, and a navy without a policy, and with no well considered organization at the Navy department, will only invite a condition of chiaos In event of war. “The statement of Assistant Secretary Roowevelt that we need 18,000 men is un- doubtedly true.

SO THE PEOPLE MAY KNOW Why Telephone Rates (One of a Series of Talks on Telephone Topics) It costs more per-telephone to operate an exchange in a large town than in a small town, and consequently the rates are higher. / of simple construc- tion, the majority of subscribers live close to the central office, and ‘the number of calls per telephone are less than in a larger town. The telephone switchboard alone in an exchange of 9,000 lines costs nearly ten times as much per line as a switchboard equipped for only 300 lines. In an exchange of 9,000 lines the town subscribers live, on an aver- age, about one and one-half miles from the central office, and those in an exchange of 300 lines average only about one-fourth of a mile away. Thus three times the amount of wire is required per line in the larger cities, Because there are many moré people for each subscriber to talk to in larger places, more calls are handled over each telephone, increasing the operating expense. For example, one operator can easily take charge of all the local calls in an exchange of 300 subscribers, while in an exchange of 9,000 subscribers an operator will be required for about every 120 suhbscribers. In a town like this where there are several cost of operating each telephone climbs stil] higher, as here we have several switchboards located in various parts of town and there is an enormous expense in installing and operating ‘‘trunk’’ lines to handle the calls between the central offices. There is none smaller town having only one switchboard, towns. All these expenses necessitate charging higher rates in large towns thar in small towns, and increasing the rates as NEBRASKA TELEPHON Also higher wages and shorter hours naturally follow in larger central offices, the of-this expense in a an exchange grows.
