LINCOLN, July 23. - The Nebraska board of transportation decided to sit August 6 at Omaha and take further testimony in the case instituted by John O. Yeiser to test the law giving the board power to reduce telephone rates. This sitting is to be held at the request of Attorney General Smyth, notwithstanding that Judge Munger of the federal district has just decided that the act creating the board of transportation is unconstitutional. It is not believed that the board will be in contempt of court if it proceeds with the telephone hearing, because Judge Munger's decision in the form of an injunction relates only to railroad rates.
