The Committee on Streets and Sew
ers on the petition to have the Ferry
company pave Buckingham avenue, re-
'lported as follows:
would recommend that the petition
be not granted for the reason that It
tasks for a special benefit for n limited
number of citizens. We do not believe
in making any more demands at the
present time upon the Ferry Company
than those In the resolution passed on
IJuly 18th. While the term proposed OF
either twenty or twenty-five years
seems a long time to many of us, 1t Is
lreally a short time In the life Of our
city. and If the grant to run a ferry
proves valuable. at the end of the term
the city can ask a fair return for the
right Ito run a ferry) based on the
amount of business that has been De
yeloped, and such income should be for
the benefit Of our city as a whole: An
lother reason is that the establishments
of a ferry at Buckingham avenue Will
lin all probability Increase the value of
the property along the street and the
property hould bear its due share OF
paving and other improvements the
same as the rest of the property In the
'ity has had TO bear its share of the eX-
oense of ~pavements. etc.
