A Few WORDS TO THE Fulton FERRY Con-
PANr.-Now that this Company is about to suild
new and splendid ferry house. we suggest that i
build tower, on which to erect weather-vane
with elock-face indicator similar to that on the
building occupied BIZ L. & G. w. Blunt in Water
street. Another Improvement would be hard rubber
passenger tickets. Tie paper onea now in use break
and spt and should not be used by this enterprsing
Company. We are sure that a neat, thin, hard rub.
Der ticket could be got up which viii prove cheaper
and more convenient than the paper ones Let the
public l7ye those really needed improvements.
