The CAPE ELIZABETH FERRY.-The people
of Ferry Village have taken hold with earnest
ness OF the subject OF the ferry between them
and Portland, and are moving for better
method of communication than they have at
present; and it is matter of surprise that 50
important measure has slumbcred 30 long
For the last ten years the means of getting
across the harbor at this point have been dis
graceful ;and now that movement for the bet
ter has begun, it ought not to be relaxed until
the object sought is fully obtained. And 10
our judgment. our citizens should aid the
work in some way-perhaps by the city in its
corporate capacity-by furnishing conven-
lent, central and safe landing place free of cost.
We understand that the Ferry Company are
now paying $3.50 per year for their present
landing, which cramps their resources materi-
ally; and We learn that the proposition is to
ask OF the city to give them landing place on
Commercial street, either at the Town Land
ing, or by exchange of that property for the
head of the dock in front of the Custom House
now unoccupied. 1t would seem to be for the
interest of Portland to help bring Ferry Vii
lage more closely IN connection with the city
for this is the great center of business, and tt
cons lerabe extent, of the social advantage,
of the people of that part of Cape Elizabeth
The gentlemen who have taken hold of tn,
matter appear to be determined to help them
selves to something better, and with little as
sstauce on this side, the desired improvement
may be effected.
