latter should come simultaneously
with the other features, for il would
be folly to establish ferry which

or doubtful merit which cause bicker
ings and misunderstanding 1t must
start something that is really worth
while, which must command the
united and active support of all good
citizens; and the ferry proposition
seems to embody all the requisites
called for at this time.
