NOW FOR A FREE FERRY.
That May BE the Rapid Transit
Companys Next Move.

A free ride to Staten Island may be
the result of the present ferry war, as
a sequel to the purchase of the fran
chise by Howard Carroll ct al.
A. r. Boardman. counsel for the Sta
ten Island Ferry Company, made the an
nouncement that such action has been
ter he said:
THE officers of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad met at my office yesterd' J and
resolved that the railway company could
not afford to lose the ferry business. So
1t was determined to give a free service
temporarily. This will be done to pre-
vent legal complications with the city.
We cannot be prevented from running
free boats. We expect that Mr.. Carroll
will pay us $4,000 for our prop
erty at the Whitehall street slip. He
must pay actual money else he will not
get this property. We have made ar
ranSements with the Thirty-ninth street
ferry people to enter our boats at their
slips. This is but 100 feet east from our
present location.
I'VE shall have to rearrange our fares
on the Staten Island Railway, If we are
to run free boats. ] call them free boats
because legally a free ferry there can
not be. Persons going to st. George and
coming therefrom VII pay no charge
whatever No one will be put off the
boat, and any one will be allowed to ride
free as long as he or she pleases. The
war between the ferry companies will
be fierce, and ii is going TO be a question
as to which has the longer purse"
