EXTENDING FERRY SYSTEM.

Dock Commissioner Bensel Is at
work on a plan for the betterment
and extension of the city's ferry sys-
tenn. He has said that experience has
shown that ferries can be installed
and operated at one-tenth the cost
of bridges. He also said that the de-
ficiency in operating the municipal
ferry is only about $250,000. The
city is now getting ready to operate
ferries to S%tapleton. The Robert
Garrett and Castleton, of the old
Staten Island ferry, have all been
painted and overhauled for the SER
vice and their names changed to the
Stapleton and Port Richmond. The
increase in values on the island has
been marvellous and the public is
reaping a benefit of many millions
for the deficit Of $250,000. The
commissioner said the ferries have
much more than met all expectations
and he believes the public will recog-
nize in them a factor in upbuilding
this borough.

THANKSGIVING QUIET.

The borough's first Thanksgiving
was celebrated in true Roosevelt
fashion. People remained at home
and enjoyed dinner with their fam
lilies and friends. There was no
scarcity of turkeys Notwithstanding
that the birds came high this year.
The people of Roosevelt are prosper
Gus and the smiling faces seen all
through town proves that the Giver
of all gifts has not bestowed prosper
ity on an ungrateful people. All the
churches were filled at the morning
services and the day passed by rend-
ering thanks for the good things of
life. 1t was particularly noticeable
that the saloons did not do a flourish
ing business, an indication surely
that the great day is observed in a
manner BETTING a grateful populace.
