REPORTS or COMMITTEES.
From the special committee on ferries:
To the Honorable the Director and Mem
hers of the Board of Chosen Freehold
ers of Hudson County:
Eentfeman-YoHr committee aDpointed

ern Railway Company. asking for further
time which was granted: lastly. one from
Robert bloomsbury. the superintendent
of the Jersey City ferries. in which. wifh-
cut coneeding the legal right in your
Board to PROFOUND the Inquiries presented.
be saws that he Is not possessed Of any
data which would enable him to make
reasonable answers thereto.
~ That the other ferry eompanfes
touching in the county of Hudson made
re response to said inquiriese.
"a That an examination into the affairs
Of the Port Richmond and Bergen Point
Ferry Company satisfies Us that the btsi-
nsss Of said company is now being con-
docfsd at 2 Joss and that no attempt
should be made to ~egulate the rates If
ferriage to be charged by said company
at this time.
% n view Of the failure of the various
FERRY companies, with the one exception.
ritttee was not possessed of exact data as
to the volume Of business. or the nrofts
made by said ferry companies on the
capital invested, and was, therefore driven
to make such other suitable inquiries 81
were within the power Of the commjftee
and the conclusion reached. after sTlcb
INQUIRY ls-that a fair and reasonable rate
ef ferfiage TO be charged upon ferries ply
ing between the cities Of jersey Cifv s1d
Hohokens in the county of Hudson and
the city OF New York. would be two cents
for every person on foot above the ace af
ten years. and that a fair and reasonable
rate of ferriage from points within tbs
County of Hudson. Outside Jersav cftv
and Hoboken. to the CITY Of New York
would be three cents for every person On
foot, above the age Of ten years.
Isl And the corpFnittee further rannrss
that the Counsel v your Board called lis
attention to an Act of the LEGISLATURE Of
New Jersey. passed in 1858, fixing tha rates
of fer'age which might be lawfully
chareed by the propr5etors of the ferries
st fFohoken and Jersey CITY. This set
may Be found in the pamphlet laws Of
1873. At page 800. and stands in full force
at his date.
This being the situation. your commit
tee IS advised that the chosen Free
holders Of the county of Hudson have no
power to regulate the rates Of f~erriage
IN the cities Of Jersey City and Hoboyen
SO long as said law remains unrepsaled.
ii Is. therefore, unrecomaaendea mat
fhe attention of the public be called to
this act: and that the net Legislature
ct the State of New Jersey be reuested
to repeal the same, to the end that your
Roard may reduce the ferriage in said
cities to proper and reasonable rates.
We further recommend the a6ontson Of
a resolution fixing the rates nf ~ferrfage
on ferrias p1v:ng between the fitv ~ New
York and points IN the COUNTY, of Hudson
nrtsiaa Of the cities of Jersey City and
Hohoken. at three cents for every person
or foot above the age of ten years.
