Ferry in connection with the Peck Slip Ferry we are cor
ecty informed this Association propose 10 build as many
as snglekcecd boats, two on the Peck Sp
Ferry the Grandstreet Ferry and the other on either
Ferry, occasion may require ALSO to exrend all the net
receipts beyond per in the improvement and ~
of Ferry facilities. Verify, tins wo-ld be new era
for Williamsburg and the adacent And why should
this Association succeed in their pu1c-sPrited enter
prise? We believe they will, because their application Il
just But what objection there possibly be to 'he'r APP
