Ferry Village.

10 the Editor Of the Press

oWe Eutt0f OF ule -FTeSS
AS improvement is the order of the day in
your city, and as your columns are open to dis
cussions of new railroads, docks and the Mar
ginal Way, perhaps few words in regard to
Ferry Landing on the Portland side of the har-
Dor would be in order. Business men in this
village are becoming Respondent because Port
land does not take any steps toward furnishing
free landing to one of the most important
thoroughfares leading into the city, While we
admire the enterprise with which Portland has
called within her limits, manufacturers and
capitalists, and loaned her credit to a large
amount to connect her with the cities of the
West, to invite trade to one of the natural sea-
ports on the Atlantic, we can but regret that
her municipal eyes have been closed to the
growing need and demand for ferry landing
Let us look at the question from financial
point Ferry and Point villages pay to Port
land merchants. according to careful estimates,
$3.50, 900 annually for the necessaries of life
There are eight fishing vessels owned on this
side of the harbor that are fitted in Portland,
besides a large amount of stock in merchant
vessels that hail from Portland, of which her
merchants receive their benefits. At present
there are nine grocers, four millinery and fancy
goods stores, one drug store, one stove and tin
ware store, one restaurant, two blacksmiths
shops, two boot and shoe stores, wood and
coal yard, and marine railway. All of these
purchase their supplies in Portland, for which
they pay not less than $15, 900 per annum.-
There are a number of smaller enterprises that
we have not taken into consideration We
know that We can substantiate the above fig
ures. Now in view of these facts wonld it be
wise in Portland to obstuct our bridges, CON
tscate the old town landing, oblige our ferry
company to hire an unsuitable landing at al
most fabulous price and they, the Ferry Com
pany, i'll turn tax the citizens of Cape Eliza
beth for the money thus extorted?
We now pay two cts head money, three cents
for crossing the harbor, two cents for landing
on the Portland side for the privilege of pay
ing Portland merchants $500 per annum.-
We think the time has fully come for us to
raise the Macedonian cry, "Come over and help
as" Cape Elizabeth has already moved in the
matter, she has purchased a site and built a
landing that is owned and controlled by thetown.
Parties are already pledged to put on a line
of substantial steam boats as soon as Portland
will open free landing We have long line
of unoccupied water front available for building
purposes; cheap lands are held out as an in
ducement for manufactures. All the natural
facilities for large and thriving city are ours
by inheritance, and purchase Our interests
are identical with Portland. For every dollar
that she may expend for Cape Elizabeth by
opening free landing, she will receive four
fold from increase i'll population within the
next decade

Railroad is pending, in which damages for four
million dollars are claimed of John S. Eldridge,

were bound to preserve and keep in their hands
