/. FOR FERRY
Mayor Says City's
Interests M uSt
be Protected.
IN RESOLUTION

Acting Mayor Ferd. Garretson
stated today that the present lndca-
tions are that the resolution adopted
by the council relative to the grant
of ferry rights to the Perth Amboy
and Tottenville Ferry Company will
not receive his signature, 1t will be
suggested to the Board of Aldermen,
he states, that substitute resolu-
tion, which will better protect the
city's rights, be introduced and
adopted. Mr.. Garretson Is heartily
in favor of a competitive ferry sys-
tenn between this city and Totem
Vile, Staten Island, but declares that
the city should have some assurance
that the proposed line will be con-
Quoted with that intent, which
feature Is not provided for In the
present resolution.
The resolution, as adopted, was
drawn hastily at the last meeting of
the board and received Mr.. Garrett
sons vote In passage. He stated to-
day, however. that he voted "aye" on
the motion because the information
in hand at that time warranted such
action. He has reviewed the facts
and now believes that the board
should take some action to further
protect the city's rights. AS a sug-
gestion, he favors a change In the
present twenty-five-year clause which
gives the company the riparian rights
for the foot of Buckingham avenue
for that period of years. Mr.. Garrett
son states that the proposed line,
under the present resolution, could
consolidate with the Staten Island
ferry company, or any other concern,
and remove the competitive feature.
1t is understood that several alder
men favor a change in the wording
of the resolution as passed; there
fore 1t is considered probable that
the resolution will be vetoed or an
other introduced at the next meeting
of the board on July IA, which will
meet with favor on the part of all
interested.
The Perth Amboy Ferry Company
plans to run a ferryboat from the
foot of Buckingham avenue directly
across to the Tottenville shore.
