IDEAS AT
FERRY HEARING.
Continued from Page IL

City Clerk Macmillan to read the
lease.
Mr.. Wight, after the lease had been
read, went to the front of the room
and said that he represented about
seventy-five demonstrators against the
granting of the lease.
WAS there any advertisement Of
this lease in the papers?" asked MI.
Wight.
There was not" replied Mr.. Pfeif-
fer.
Mr.. Wight then quoted a few points
of law, and said that the hearing, in
his opinion, could not be carried any
further, as it was illegal because the
application had not been advertised.
He said that it would be also illegal
for the council to grant a lease of the
foot of a public street to a private
corporation.
what do you think about that,
Mr.. Silzer," asked Mr.. Wight, ad-
dressing the new company's counsel.
Il don't think there is anything in
it," replied Mr.. Silzer.
Perhaps, Mr.. Mayor" continued
Mr.. Wight, you might ask the city
attorneys opinion Oh the subject
Mr.. Hommann vas questioned and
in spite Of Mr.. Nights protests, said
that the council had thus far pro-
ceeded properly.
Well said Mr.. Wight, Il don't
think it proper to give away public
streets for purposes that are not pub
lie purposes, and this is a private en-
terprise."
Are you advocating municipal
ownership" asked Mayor Pfeiffer.
81 am not as fighty as that yet"
replied Mr.. Wight,
Petitions Favoring the Lease.
Lawyer Joseph =. Stricken follow
ed Mr.. Nights speech by presenting
a petition signed by a number of
merchants on both Smith and State
streets, asking that the new company
be granted a lease for the foot of
Fayette street. Mr.. Stricken read an
other petition signed by a number Of
people who use the present ferry con-
tinually. but who are anxious to see
some competition.
The second petition requested that
the council grant a lease to the Perth
Amboy and Staten Island Ferry Com
pany on easy terms.
After Mr.. Stricken had closed his,
short speech, Acting Mayor Pfeiffer
requested some of the other citizens
10 say Il few words.
This hearing is not entirely for
the benefit of the lawyers" said the
acting mayor. II want to hear from
the public at large"
Favor Washington Street Landing.
Lawyer Leo Goldberger then pre-
scented two petitions signed by a
large majority of the property own
ers in North Amboy, who asked that
Che council grant a lease for the foot
OF Washington street. Mr.. COLDER
ger said that the people of NORTH
Amboy are the people that use the
ferry, and they are the poor people
and should be considered in the mat
ter.
DO something that will benefit
both the city and it's citizens, pleaded
Mr.. Goldberger, who said that Wash
ington street is the only proper place
for the new ferry anyway, as it is
not right to have two ferries within
q block or two of each other.
Il wish to strongly protest for my
clients against the ferry being at the

The people Of Wilmington will learn
with much pleasure that the crew Of
the Seminole which is stationed at this
port, for six months ending on June
Both, had the highest record N the
service for small-arm craftsmanship.
Last winter the Seminole under the
command of Captain J. H. Quinan
made a fine record; it is to be doubted
if another cutter in the service aided
S o many vessels in distress within the
same length Of time.
The following special was sent Il
in regard to the matter from Wash
ington on the 31st:
The revenue cutter Seminole, Cap
tain J.. H. Quinan, stationed at VIII
mingtOn, \. c., had the best record
for small-arm craftsmanship during
the six months ended June 80, last.
The officials of the t. eaSury depart
ment have just completed the averages
of target practice, and they are graf
flied that the officers and men Of the
Seminole showed CuCh a high standard
Of efficiency.

: Wilmington is to have a new cigar
store and it is to be located at No.
III Princess ~street, in the store now
occupied by the S. A. Schloss Music
company. The store will be opened by
Messrs. D. Leon Middleton and James
Oldham. 1t is understood that the
building is to be vacated on October

soon afterwards.
The location chosen by these young
men is a most excellent n and they
have every reason TO expect a large
business. Wilmington already has
several cigar stores but the town is
growing 80 rapidly that another ought
70 do a first class business and no doubt
will. Princess street is rapidly becom-
ing one Of the important streets of the
