Governor Says State
Ferry Seems Certain

Prospects are good for the establish
ing of State ferry between Annapolis
and Claiborne suitable steamer has
been offered the State at price that
appears reasonable and which meets the
requirements of the case in that il is
open at both ends and has deck space
sufficient for storing II automobiles.
For quite a while the Board Of Public
Works has had a man investigating the
problem Of getting a boat suitable for
the purpose. The last Legislature
authorized the State Roads Commission
to establish ferry and operate it in
connection with the State highway sys-
TEN. As part Of this plan it IL pro
posed to reconstruct the road between
Claiborne and Easton.
The idea. as frequently stated in The
Messenger. is that the ferry and the
road would provide a quicker means Of
communication between Baltimore and
Washington and the Eastern Shore. At
Annapolis the ferry would connect with
two electric lines one to Washington
and Baltimore and the other to Balti
more only. Annapolis is also connected
with both Baltimore and Washington
by improved roads
