NORTH SHORE BREEZE. 
Annual Report of N. E. T. & T. 
Co’s. President. 
The annual report of President Sher- 
win of the New England Telephone and 
Telegraph company, shows that in the 
25 years since the company was formed, 
the use of telephones has increased from 
15,000 to 300,000, and that to supply 
this service upwards of 600 exchanges 
are in operation, connecting more than 
600,000 miles of wire, over which pass 
400,000,000 messagesin the course of a 
single year. The gross revenue of this 
company for the year 1907 was $10,- 
679,625.76. Expenses amounted to 
$8,513,422.64. “There was an increase 
in the net revenue of $342,552.72. 
General Sherwin points out very clear- 
ly the threefold responsibility of the dir- 
ectors—‘‘to provide for subscribers and 
the public a service of the highest attain- 
able excellence and value, at equitable 
rates; to care for the well-being and 
reasonable compensation of the thous- 
ands of employees who serve with effic- 
iency and fidelity the interests of the 
company and the community; and to 
secure to stockholders, who have paid 
many millions of dollars into the treasury 
for the building up and extension of the 
system of such enormous utility and 
value to the people of these states, a fair 
return upon their investment.’’ 
“Eastern Yard.” 
“* Eastern Yard, United States Navy, 
Rockport, Mass.,’’ is the title by which 
the national harbor or refuge at Rock- 
port will be known, according to the 
schedule 1092 of the navy department 
received by Postmaster Will Parsons of 
that place. The schedule calls for bids 
for various supplies for the navy, to be 
opened May 18, and to be supplied to 
ships in the outer anchorage at Rock- 
port harbor during the fiscal year ending 
June 30, 1909. 
This wording of the schedule is taken 
to mean that Rockport is to figure as a 
naval depot. Admiral Evans’ fleet was 
there in 1906. The Sandy bay break- 
water, with a depth of water varying 
from 40 to 80 fathoms, affords one of 
the finest basins in the world for a large 
fleet of vessels. 
Busy With Orders. 
With plant equipped with modern 
machinery, and up-to-date equipment in 
every detail, Kimball Bros., of Lynde 
street, Salem, are in a position to furnish 
anything that could be desired in the line
