The authorities are having trou-
BILE with the City and County
gravel ferry boat. The boat is not
locked to the bank, and it is the
habit of boys about town to make
use of it at pleasure. They take it
back and forth across the river, and
have deal of sport out of the pas
time. The other afternoon when
gravel teams appeared on the west
bank and wanted to cross, the boat
was on the opposite side. The
small boat was also on the opposite
side, and the boys who had taken
both over were nowhere to be seen.
There was wild waste of profanity
and much wear and tear on the
patience before the team finally got
across. The authorities are pre-
pairing trespass notices for posting
and it is the purpose to prosecute
future offenders.
