STEAMER NOTES Traffic conditions with
the Eastern Steamship Company since the
first of the year have been very satisfactory.
For the first quarter of 1908 the company
showed a small decrease in gross of less
than $4,000, while the saving in operating
expenses through various economies was
sufficient to increase the actual net earnings
above operating expenses for the quarter by
about $4,000 The name of the steamer
| City of Key West has been stricken from
| the port list of New York. This craft is
now at the marine graveyard in Perth Am
boy. She was built at Athens, n. Y, in 1865
and operated for year on the James River.
in 1866 she was purchased to run between
Portland and Bangor under the name
of the City of Richmond, where she
remained until 1882. Later she ran out of
New London, and after that for several
seasons in the South, where she received
the name of the City of Key West. Steam
