JERSEY CITY FERRY.-After a silence OF more
than year in duration, we perceive that this as
sociaton-the Jersey City Ferry Company-have
come forward and renewed their application for
lease of the slip at the foot of Courandt street.
They presented their application on Monday even
ing last. to our Common Council, and in the ordi-
nary routine of business, it was referred to the
appropriate committee, to take it into considera-
tion, aud report at future meeting of the Common
Council.
II may not be known to our present corporate
authorities, that when this company applied for a
renewal of its lease, year or two ago. we SIRE
nuousy opposed It,, on the ground that the rate o.
ferrIage was too high that the rent hitherto
charged for the use of the slip which they occupy
was too low, and that the accommodations which
they furnished to the public were altogether made
auate, and were bitterly complained Of by the
public of Jersey city, as well as that Of New
York. Since that time the ferriage has been re-
duced from SIX and a quarter to four cents, but
the accommodations have not been extended. If
the company will agree TO run boat every ten
minutes, from each side, during the day. from sun
rise TO sunset-ifthey will agree to run boat every
fifteen minutes from sunset to ten o'clock, and one
every half hour from that hour till sunrise next
morning. then, we say, renew their lease at fair
rate II they will not agree to ths,we call on the
Comma n Council to sell the use Of the slip at pub
lie auction, to the highest bidder who will cove
nant to serve the public in the manner which we
have mentioned. We doubt not that the company
are of opinion that the agitation and excitement
which attended their previous application for re-
newal OF their lease, have been forgotten but we
shall undeceive them that respect, and shall call
On the Common Council not to do anything in the
matter. other than that we have mentioned. if they
do not undertake to give fuller ferry accommoda.
lions than those which they are now giving. The
ferrlage is, perhaps, low enough and the boats are
| good enough. Let the company run their boats
otener, and let them have a renewal at fair price.
Would it not be well for the Corporation of Jersey
City to confer with the committee OF our Common
Council, TO whom this application was referred, SO
| that the matter may be thoroughly understood be-
| fore report is made One word to that commit
tee BE careful of allowing the spectators and
monopollsts OF New Jersey TO get footing In New
| York, and beware that you do not give them the
means Of shaving our citizens, they do the far
