Foley. Of CovIngton. KY. concerning the charges
and Profits or losses as he makes them, Of the fer

for writing Is SAID by the Covmgton paper to have

between that city and Cincinnati. In his letter the
Treasurer SAYS that the rates IN are IN sew

deemed safe upon an increase ofbuSness when the
South Ferry was established 1896, the ferrage for
foot passengers was reduced from four cents to three
cents, but 1t was soon found impossible to sustain
the ferry at this price and the old rate of four cents
was restored lie says. 1t may not be, perhaps amlss
