aid.
 By the act of emancipation, the Rus sian peasants received something like half Of the land, as the property of the various village societies About 35O,O0O 600 acres were thus set off for the peas- ants, an average of about seven acres for each freed serf. This averaged about B acres to each family, so it is estimat- ed. For this land the villages had to pay a fixed price in small instalments to the nobles. which payments were spread over 50 years. This sum was ad- vanced by the government so that it became the creditor of the peasant com munes. At various times, when the sea- son has been poor, the imperial gov- ernment remitted some of these pay ments and reduced taxes. The last pay ment was made about five years ago. Since the allotment, the population of the villages has greatly increased, al- most doubled, but the holdings have re- mained the same. This is what has driven the young men and women to the cities.

WOULD OPERATE
PASSENGER BOAT
Board of Trade Considers
Proposition of New York
KeanSbLEg Line for Winter

Prospects for a passenger steam
boat line between this city and New
Y DIRK were discussed at the meeting
of the traffic group of the Industrial
Bureau of the Board OF Trade yester-
day afternoon, as was also the ques-
ton of having the Staten Island Rail
way Company rebuild. the ferry
bridge in this city so that trucks
/ carrying loads weighing over five tons
can use the ferry.
The group was informed through
the acting secretary that Charles
Carr, of West Keansburg, is-desirouS
of operating a steamboat line for pas
sengeR service between this city and
New York. which service will be
maintained throughout the winter
months. Mr.. Carr owns and operates
the steamer CIermonf from Keans-
burg to New York throughout the
summer season. and for the past sew
eral weeks has been making daily
trips from those two points, passing
through Staten Island sound and the
XIII Won Kull.
The Clermont is a swift boat. and
1t is understood was originally a
private yacht, having been trans
formed into a passenger steamer.
Acting Secretary Odiorne was in
structed to communicate with Mr.
Carr and n out what arrangements
can be made for the boat service here
and to report to the committed.
Tho attention Of the traffic group
was called to the fact that since the
order given by the Staten Island
Rapid Transit Railway Company,
stopping the traffic of all trucks over
the ferry bridge here weighing yer
five tons, the men at the bridge have
refused to- permit some trucks weigh
ing less Than that amount to cross
into the ferry.
The committee began action to
have his matter investigated and see
If there is not some way trucks
weighing less than five tons can be
recognized. The group also decided
to taxi up with the company the
matter of rebuilding tho bridge or re-
pair 1t as soon as possible SO hat it
can be used by all trucks again. The
group were of the opinion that a
bridge which will hold twelve tons
should be built in order to accommo-
date the heavy travel through the
city.
