companies, the purchasers would be compelled to
buy also the boats and other ferry property OF the
companies which had been operating the ferries.
The Pennsylvania Railroad Company declined TO
make bids for ferries while the proviso remained in
the agreement. and the Commissioners went before
the Sinking Fund Commission and had the objec-
tionable clause stricken out. The Long Island Rail-
road Company when It learned Of this action. pro-
tested against the retention OF the clause IN Its
agreement and declined fuhl its bid Owing to
