EGGS FOR FERRY TOLL.
TWO IN EVERY HUNDRED.
City Had Complete Monopoly in
18O1-Oaeer Ld1oS

The Corporation Counsels office last week. in
examining the Laws of 1901 found that the city
collected two eggs out of every hundred eggs
transported from Brooklyn tosNew- York as a
ferry toll, bat nothing that the searchers have
dug up as yet sheds any light on what became of
the eggs. The law careful to state the
schedule of fares. but there is tracing the
eggs that the early Mayors collected every day
that a hundred eggs from the Long Island hen
neries brought across the river
The Mayor and the aldermen who were
charged with responsibility for conducting the
ferry may have had the eggs for graft" al
though it is a more reasonable assumption that
they were sold and the proceeds turned into the
city treasury. Mr. Rivess assistants have
found however. that the city has complete
ownership of the ferries between New-YOrk and
Brooklyn. Under Chapter 1O6 of the Laws of
1901 entitled IAN act to regulate the ferry and
rates of ferriage between the city of New-York
and the Island OF Nassau" the Mayor and alder
men of New-York were empowered to charge as
follows:
For every horse, mare or geldng, with or with
out saddle. 1914 cents
Every OK, l512 cents .a

Every one-horse chaise, 81 cents
Every full trunk or chest 9 cents.
Every writing other desk, 10 cents.

Every piece of oznaburgs or duck. cents.

shall be paid for a sucking child or for such
small articles not before enumerated a
woman carries in her apron, man or boy in
his hand or under his arm"
If any one kicked" at the toll the law en-
powered the company to hale him before a
magistrate and collect treble the regular price.
If the ferryman charged more than the schedule
rate he subject TO a fine of 50 30.
The law compelled the company, wind and
weather permitting, to have boats each side
of the river at least one-half hour before sun
rise and to continue through the day till
O'Clock.
1t was made lawful for Brooklynites to trans
port their own goods by boats if they chose but
they couldn't carry any one elses, under a
penalty OF 81 30
That the city had hard and fast monopoly
Of the business is shown by the following clause:
VIII. And be it further enacted That no per
commonalty shall erect keep a ferry between
the said city and Nassau Island for carrying or
bringing of any passengers horses, cattle, hogs,
sheep goods. mercha ndise or other things what
