Excerpt from Proceedings of the Bostonian Society at the Annual Meeting, January 17, 1911

The Committee considered during the year a proposition to place two bronze memorial tablets, one on the building at 109 Court Street where the telephone was born, on June 2, 1875; the other at the corner of Harrison Avenue and Exeter Place, to mark the site where, on March io, 1876, in a dwelling house then standing there, alexander-graham Bell transmitted to Thomas Augustus Watson the first intel ligible Spoken message by wire. The Committee reported further, that at the request of the New England Telephone and Telegraph Company, the name of that Company would be joined with that of this Society on the tablets.

The Directors approved of the proposition, and the con sent of the owners of the buildings has been obtained, and the Society expects to unveil these commemorative tablets on March loth next, the fortieth anniversary of the second of these events.
