For the careful handling OF auto
mobiles the Fall River. Providence
and New Bedford lines of the New
England Navigation Co have made
especial provision at their New York
and eastern terminals. There are
no restrictions TO harass AUTOMOBILE
lists. After delivering their cars to
the attendant at the wharf. owners
are saved all annoyance. The only
requirement made Is that automo-
blles must be delivered at the wharf
three hours before the advertised
time of the steamers departure
This is necessary that the tanks Of
the cars may be drained of gasolene
before they are taken on beard. BY
this provision owners have .he use
Of their cars up TO the afternoon of
their departure. The machines are
placed on the main deck and due
care is exercised in storing them so
that they meet with no mishap on
the voyage. AS automobiles are the
first cargo discharged from the
steamer upon arrival at port. the au-
tomobilist may step directly from
the boat To his car. The increasing
number of automobiles transported
by these lines is proof of the growing
attraction that the smooth, hard
roads and picturesque scenery Of
New England hold for automobile
tourists.
