II Doesn't Matter

Editor Review: Is there any
thing in the rumor that the land on
the west side of the river used by
the present ferry company with
approaches is not county road
and is liable to be withdrawn from
usage for this purpose at any timer
Subscriber.
II is our understanding that the
land in question has been dedicated
as a county road. But It makes no
difference so far as getting a free
ferry is concerned. According to
the bill passed the only obligation
upon the part OF the city OF ST.
Johns is to provide the approaches,
slips and pontoons. Land was not
mentioned. II the west side land
ing place is not on a county road II
is no affair of this city's We have
fulfilled all our requirements when
the approaches, slips aud poutoons
have been secured aud the fran.
chse surrendered. The county
eau then wrestle with the land
proposition. There is no particular
landing place designated on the
west side in the bill, but the foot of
Pittsburg street on the east side S
specified. II may be moved later
At the option of the county commits.
sioners, II deemed advisable.

would be allowed on letters. But
the president OF the Society has
received information from the de-
partment that the design OF the
Red Cross stamp has been ap-
proved and the use Of the stamps
will not be interfered with.
1t is said that the new design
for the red cross seals is as far
away as possible from the postage
stamp idea. The design is to be
included in a heavy red circle
