FERRY TRIPS
ARE CUT OUT
Passengers Complain OF the
Service to Tottevills.

possor oers who use the ferry be-
tween this city and TottenVllle uul-
ING the past week or more since tne
foTrvboat %Tottenville has been u
ming in place of the Perth AmouS,
are very much incensed over Tue
schedule that is being malntalhe9'
There is some talk of sending a petl-
tion to the Public Service commas
sion of the first district OF u
of New York In the matter, because
of the number of trips that nave
been cut out during the past rev
DAYS. Last night the boat was scneu-
MED to leave Tottenville at Z o'clocR
and 1t is said it did not leave uhtii
neal 8, upon the arrival of the f:4o
train from st. George. There were
several automobiles, together with
many passengers waiting to come 10
this city, who were up for nearly an
hour.
One of the autoists declared to a
NEWS representative that he was OIL
his way to see a sick relative In an
swer to a telegram that it was a case
of life or death and 1t was an out
rage that he was compelled TO wall
almost an hour to get across the
sound.
Shoppers in this city Saturday
from the lower section Oh
Staten Island, were compelled 10
wait in the same manner because OF
the $3.50 o'clock trip being u out
and they had to wait until 800.
When the crew of the boat was ap-
peared to in regard to the cause OF
the delay, the only reason given was
that the ferryboat could not be Turn
ed without much difficulty. Ever
since the Tottenville was purchased
by the Staten Island Rapid Transit
from the d. l.. and w. railroad for an
extra boat to run across the SOUND
between this city and T~ottenv1lle,
men In the vicinity nave
regarded the craft as a huge JOKE.
The boat Is more than fifty feet
longer than the Perth Amboy and In
coming out of the slip at TottenVllle
each trip a hauser must be maze
fast to the front of the boat in order
to swing it around SO that 1t can start
for this city. This operation requires
an extra man to pull in the haWser
after the boat gets under way. Many
times when the boat is leaving the
slip on this side it goes nearly to
Browns shipbuilding plant on the
other side and the boat must back up
before it can start for the Totem
Vile slip. Several extra men are re-
1uired in the crew to run the boat.
This also causes a delay of several
minutes.
