AT MERCY OF FERRIES?
They Night Charge City Big Price
Under Bill.
GBy Telegraph to The Tribune

Albany March I'm an amendment pre-
sented tonight by Senator Cooper. of Brooklyn.
to his bill relative to the condemnation of docks
and ferries in preparation for a municipal ferry
service between Manhattan and Brooklyn. there
IS concealed a clause which, In the opinion Of
many here would place the city absolutely at
the mercy of the ferry companies. 1t provides
that the city must have agreed with the ferry
companies before it may acquire their property.
In other words. it compels the city to pay what
ever price the ferry companies may exact.
The bill in its present form specifies with re-
gard TO properties within certain specified
bounds that ut shall be necessary for the said
Commissioner of Docks to make an attempt to
agree with the owner owners of such prop
erty. rights, terms, easements, privileges, up
lands, or lands under water or other real and
personal property, upon price for the same"
amendment inserts the words "and in case of a.
ferry, to nave agreed with the owner or owners
thereof that the city may acquire the same"
This clause. watchers of legislation declare,
would allow the owners of some of the unprofit-
able East River ferries to unload their property
on the city at much profit, The Union Ferry
Company has recently served notice on the city
that it would go out of business on the opening
or the subway tunnel under the East River
Senator Cooper, when asked about his amend
ment, said that it was merely to correct the
verbiage of his bill It had no Importance or
significance, he declared.
