No Bids for the Ferry Lease.


Last Thursday noon was the hour
fixed for the reception and opening of
bids for the river ferry franchise, and
the members of the joint committee of
the police jury and town council were
at the courthouse ahead of time, pre-
pared to perform the duty devolving
upon them. They we're disappointed,
however, because there was no work for
them to do, as the hour Of II passed
without bids or bidders putting in an
appearance.
1t was agreed that the police jury
and town council will meet in joint ses-
sion on Wednesday, the 9th instant,
at the courthouse. for the purpose of
considering the ferry situation in its
new phase and deciding what can be
done next towards finding solution
of the troublesome problem.
The sureties of the ferry lessee, who
are operating the steamer W ashington
pending the sale and transfer of the
franchise, were hopeful of being able
to relinquish the boat and go out of
the ferry business Immediately after
the anticipated adjudication of the
lease on Thursday, and there was
some talk of their letting go whether
any bid was accepted or not, but they
have agreed to continue the operation
of the ferry until next weeks joint
conference of the parochial and mu-
nicipal authorities shall have deter
mined what further steps are to be
taken in the premises.
The chances are that pending the re-
advertisement and sale of the fran
chise, the sureties will be permitted to
put the new tariff into effect, which
will probably be beneficial arrange
ment for at least two reasons: it will
not only increase the receipts of the
sureties, who are subjected to almost
daily loss under present conditions,
but will afford a practical demonstra-
ton of the approximate revenues to
be derived from the lease, thus en-
abling possible competitors to bid
more intelligently than if they were
without anything tangible upon which
to base an estimate of the ferry 5
earnings. It is reasonable to believe
that the franchise can be made to
yield a profitable return upon the in
vestment with competent and prudent
