Comptroller Fitch has notified Corporation
Counsel Scott that tho Central Railroad Of New
Jersey contemplates running a new ferry within
a few days from Communipaw to the foot Of

Mr.. Fitch said, would seem TO be q clear viola

doayor OF. the municipal officers to secure for
such privileges the greatest compensation af-
iorded by public bid and public competition.
1t seems to me- concluded the Comptroller,
which will not only stop the proposed manner OF
securing such valuable ferry privileges. in utter
disregard OF tho provisions of law. hut will also
prevent similar Attempts in future"
The Central announced last Wednesday that
IL had rented from the owners tho right to make
use OF the slips of the Staten Island and Bay
