One Of the oddities OF the speed masia
about New York Ia the rush to get on board
the Pennsylvania ~ferryboats on the Jersey
City side. There are no gates to hold back
the people desiring to board the boats as
there are in all the New York ferryhouses,
and the moment the boat ties up the people
bound for New York hustle down the land
ing bridges and get on board the boats
without waiting for the crowd to got off.

causes serious blockadss. There are from
1000 to 1900 people trying to disembark
from each boat and as . rule not even 9
hundred to get on beard, But the hundred
by crowding into the passages render the
Decentralization slow and difficult, while
their own progress Is equally difficult.

twenty seats for every one who Is trying
