Maine Telephone aud Telegraph
COmDADy


In the field of the Maine Telephone
and Telegraph Company notable pro
gress has been made of late. The audi
tors report for the period between
April % 1906 and January 20, 1907,
shows a gain of more than 80 per cent
Incidentally it may be SAID that this was
by far the best showing made by any of
the sublcensee companies in the system
of the New England Telephone and
Telegraph Company This system covers
New Hampshire, Vermont and Massa-
chusetts, as we'll as this state.
In the nine months included in the
report the number of Maine Telephone
and Telegraph Company Subscribers In
creased from 1903 t. 2019 This gain IN
Guided the subscribers added through
the absorption of several small local
companies. Thus on May 8, 1908, the
scribers, was transferred TO the Maine
company from the Crosby Telephone
Company; on August the exchange at
Madison, with its 243 subscribers, was
taken over from the Somerset Telephone
Company, and on the same date the OK
change at Hiuckiey. including 213 SUBJ
scribers, WAS transferred from the Cen.
trail Maine Telephone Company. How
ever, the remarkable gam already re-
ferTed to. more than so per cent, was
credited to the old exchanges, those at
al Eav Inn tnn
Livermore Falls. Norway, Oxford, SHOW
hogan and " Winthrop.
Altogether on Jan. 20 of this year
there we're In the four states mentioned
above 81 800 subscribers on sub icen-
SEQ lines, including those Of the Maine
Telephone and Telegraph Company
These subscribers, in addition to having
an up-to-date local service, worthy of
comparison with that furnished any
where in the country, also have the be-
nefit of the long distance facilities Sc
cured by means of the New England
Telephone aud Telegraph Company's
toll lines; and without such facilities
telephone users would feel themselves
more or less handicapped
Throughout the territory covered by
the New England system there WAS a
gain in Subscribers of "a 2 per cent dur
ing 1909. This gain, which included the
progress made by sub lioensee and other
affiliated companies, was he best re-
corded OF any year since the New Eng
land company was organized. New
subscribers brought the total number at
the beginning of the year up to 253, 286
and from that date up to January 20
there was a further gain of 3 1877, making
a new total of 257 023
