NEW TELEPHONE EXCHANGE. 
| Beverly Farms Will Move Into New 
Office Tomorrow Night. 
Next Saturday evening the tele- 
phone exchange which serves sub- 
‘seribers in Beverly Farms and a part 
of Pride’s Crossing will be instantly 
transferred from the present location 
on West street, Beverly Farms, to a 
new building erected for the com- 
pany on Vine street. 
The removal from one central of- 
fice to another will be made when 
very few subscribers are using the 
lines and none will be inconve- 
nienced. The change is known 
‘*cut- 
over’’ The new switchboard and its 
equipment will cost about $25,000 
and will be modern in every way. 
After Saturday night it will not 
be necessary to turn the crank con- 
nected with each telephone in order 
to call the central office. Simply re- 
moving the receiver from the hook 
is all that will be necessary. The 
new ottice will be operated by the 
common battery system, m which 
the power is generated at the central 
ollice, instead of a battery connected 
with each subscriber’s telephone, as 
at present. 
The new exchange will care for 
the business in the Farms territory 
for several years. Direct lines will 
run to Salem, Beverly and Manches- 
ter and all:toll calls will be handled 
in the Salem toll office, the center 
for nearly all the toll business of the 
North Shore. 
Over 325 telephone stations are 
served from the Beverly Farms ex- 
change, an increase of about 950 in 
one year. In August approximately 
3000 calls were handled on the 
switchboard every day. During the 
winter months this number is re- 
duced about one half. 
The new central office’is one story 
high and constructed of wood. It 
will contain the operating room, ter- 
minal room and retiring room for 
the use of the operators, the latter to 
be furnished in mission style.
