Object to the Ferry.
The citizens of town are much astonished
at the action of the Commissioners in re-
porting favorably upon the bill of the WASH
ington, Mt. Vernon and Alexandria rail-
road. as no public notice whatever has ap-
peared in the papers in connection with it.
Georgetown feels that as ferries, etc., af-
feet her river trade she has the right to be
heard ON such questions. The maintenance
of ferry. her citizens say, will keep the
rive. at all times blocked. What will add
to this is the establishment of the proposed
Terry at one of the most narrow points on
the river.
