POOR FERRY SERVICE
 IS FREELY DISCUSSED
 BY DOUGLAS COUNCIL

DOUGLAS, Dec. 1S-"And now there abideth faith, hope and char ity; these three, but the greatest of these is charity
 Also-"Charity suffereth long and is kind'
 Residents of Douglas Island have turned the other cheek until both have been spanked red. They have shivered and shook on the inhospita- ble docks while awaiting the arrival of the ferry boat only to find when it did come it was headed in the op- posite direction from that which they wanted to travel.
 Working men who have long made their homes on the Island while be- ing employed at Thane or the Alas ka-Juneau have lately been so per ceptibly delayed in reaching their
 work that their positions have been in jeopardy and these same men
 have been so delayed in reaching home after their days work has been completed that they frequently remark on the growth of their chil- 
 dren during their absence. To ob- yiate this difficulty some have bid fearful farewells to their Island homes and have moved across the channel in order to protect their
 jobs. Others are contemplating nov
 ing or calling off the struggle and going to the outside.
 n. ce
 able ferry service was the feature of last nights meeting of the city council and after a number of plans had been discussed for bettering
 conditions. it was finally agreed to
 start by opening negotiations with the ferry company with the view of having service installed that can be depended upon. Mayor Smith stated that he had been appealing to the ferry management and had been promised a new schedule after the first of the year when the new eight-hour law will alter the work ing schedules at the mines by which the ferry will be required to make {, fewer trips and, having more time, | will ende3vor to maintain a new | lated. The lack of waiting room | accommodations was also discussed and the clerk was instructed to noti- | fly the ferry management that it was | the sense of the council that both | the ferry service and waiting room l lot cb ha upon at once. A telegram from the Canadian
 Club of Seattle, requesting aid for ! Halifax sufferers, was read and or
 dered filed
 A report from the school treasur-
 CT was referred back with the re. quest that it be footed up and de-
 tailed as a copy of the board S 1 books.
 The wharf report showed 25S tons of coal on hand and business for 1 the previous week amounting to $548.
 55. Mayor Smith announced that
 he had placed an order for 200 tons
 of coal which should arrive shortly after the first of the new year, which coal can now be purchased
 at the former price, an advance be- ing probable after January first.
 The finance committee reported cash on hand to the amount of $3,935.07 and from that amount bills amounting to $646.65 were ordered
 paid.
 Two members of the council, J. w. Martin and A. Olson, were ab- sent.
