The Williamsburg Ferries-Are the People
to Have RefOrme


1t has been such common trick of the men
known as ''strikers" at Albany to introduce
resolutions of inquiry into the affairs of ferry
companies and other similar Institutions, for
the purpose of levying black mail upon the
parties interested, that all movements of the
kind are looked upon with suspicion. But the
bill now before the Assembly, to regulate the
Williamsburg ferries and the investigation to
which it has given rise, come from the efforts
of members who are personally concerned in
the description of accommodation afforded to
the public upon those boats, and are not open
to any suspicion of corrupt or improper mo-
tives. The proposed law does not appear to
do any injustice to ferry company honestly
managed in the interest of the people who are
compelled to use the line, and it is proper that
any other management should be irterfered
with and legislated against. The bill GER
tainly embraces genuine and needed re-
form, for it Is notorious that the Williams
burg boats are not such as the people
have right to expect from wealthy, money
making corporation, and the fares are higher
than they ought to be, Judging from the enor-
nous profits realized by the shareholders.
The citizens accustomed to cross on that line
almost unanimously concur 10 the statement
that the boats. with very few exceptions, are
old, slow, small and dirty the ferry houses
mere shanties, unfit to accommodate the peo-
pie; the rates of fare from forty to sixty per
cent more than those charged by the Union
Company. In consequence, it is asserted that
the entire Eastern District of Brooklyn finds its
prosperity hampered and its business almost
paralyzed by the continuance Of what they call
an odious and oppressive monopoly. The
people are certainly unit in demanding re-
form, and the Legislature may open itself to
grave suspicious should it fail to grant it if,
upon fair investigation, the assertions are
found to be true.

RAILWAY ACCIDENTS are plentiful enough
now for the most morbid admirers Of these
horrid disasters; but with the breaking up OF
hard winter, and the washing away and
undermining of bridges, embankments &C.,
and the dislodging of the rails, we fear these
disasters will be greatly increased. Let all
our railway companies, East, West and South,
be warned In time of the needful precautions
with the breaking up of hard winter.
