The New Ferry.

Active preparations for the improve,
ment of the ferry line recently acquired
by the Norfolk and Washington steam
boat Company were begun yesterday
when work on the tearing down OF the
old ferry line building on Water stree.
in Washington was commenced Ii
when specifications for bids for the me-"
steel hulled ferry steamers were gwen
out to various shipbuilding contractors
A new ireproof, steam-heated, electric
ferry house piers for both the steam
hoafs and ferry line, covered by COM
modious sheds, and a wharf with berth
room for two steamers are to De CON
structed. The bids for the construction
of the ferry boats will be placed within
the next ten days. The steamers, which
will be completed within the next lew
months. will be handsome and entirely
modern. They will be double end boats,
175 feet long over all, with 81 feet over
the guards. They will have a draft OF
nine feet. Room for teams will be pro-
yided in the center.
The plans for new steamers have been
sent to the Newport News ShiPbuilding
and Drvdock Company, the Harlan q
HolIingsworth Shipbuilding Company, OF
Wilmington, Del, and the Maryland
Steel Company at Sparrow'S Point, near
Baltimore. The steamers will be
equipped with compound engines and
will have propeller wheels at each END
ON one shaft, so that while the wheel
at the stern is showing the boat ahead,
the forward wheel will be pulling Inc
hulls will be built of steel, extra heavy
at the water line, as a protection against
the heavy ice in which they are ex-
pected to run in winter, as it is proposed
to keep the boats in service the year
through. They will be electric lighted,
and will have both steam and hand
steering gear, and will be modern IN
every respect. Mr.. Callahan has asked
for bids on sixteen mile boats, but 1t Is
possible they may be made to exceed
this speed.
The Norfolk Ledger of yesterday says:
THE Newport News S~hipbuilding and
Dry Dock company will have an oPpor-
tunity to compete with the Spsrrow's
Point (Maryland) and the Hollins q
Hollingsworth Wilmington shipyards
for the building of two.new ferry steamers
to be ordered by the Norfolk and Wash
ington Steamboat Company for use be-
tween Washington and Alexandra.
Each of the new ferry steamers will cost
in the ~neighborhood of $3.50, 900. Plans
for the boats have already been SUD
mitted to the Washington line man
agement. The new 5000, 600 side
wheel steamer which is to be built at
once for the Norfolk and Washington
line is not designed particularly rs a
Potomac river boat for Norfolk, but Is
meant to be used for the most part as a
river boat between Washington city and
Colonial Beach, and intermediate points
ON the Potomac river. She will only DE
used as a day boat to Norfolk when the
occasion requires. River steamer com
petition on the Potomac promises TO be
spirited when the new Washington line
side-wheeler is completed"
