awarded in May of this year the fran
chise to operate for the next ten
years the Morgan City Berwick ferry,
sstated to the jury he was unable to
construct a new boat at this time. He
said he had come to this decision
after much investigation, which in
cluded an extended trip through the
East. Captain Drackett reported that
this trip not only convinced him a
boat which would meet the require
ments Of the new lease was not avail
able, but after talks with government
inspectors, shipbuilders, ETC., he
would be unable at this time to build
a new hull. He asked their permis-
sion to remodel his present boat to
meet specifications, and at the close
of the war, when conditions would
permit, he would build a new boat.
He also stated that the rebuilding
would not take him more than five
weeks. According to the contract
the lessee has eight months from the
date Of the agreement to satisfactor-
lily comp with the requirements.
The present lessee thus has about six
months more to make the changes re-
quired.
After considerable discussion a
motion was made and passed author
izing Captain Drackett to proceed
with the remodeling plans he has in
mind, but all changes must be sub
ject to the approval Of a committee
on ferrys and franchises, which
was appointed. It was stated that
this committee would have full power
to reject or accept the complete
changes that will have been com
pleted at the end of the preparatory
period. It was suggested to the com
mittee that the remodeling be ac-
cepted only as a temporary measure,
and if, in their opinion, Captain Drac-
kett was unable to build new boat
an Indefinite extension of time be
given him.
The members appointed on this
committee were: Messrs. Pharr, Kim
brough and Gooch. At the close of
the discussion and after a vote was
taken on the motion, the contract was
signed by President Frost and Cap
tain Drackett.
The officers of the past year were
reelected by unanimous vote. They
are: President, Chas. N. Frost; Sec
retary, R. Emmett O'Neil; treasurer,

Quite a number were disappointed
at not seeing the launching, due to
their late arrival on the scene. On
account of the delay that attended
the first launching these folks un-
doubtedly expected at least a short
delay this time. The boat was ready
for her dive at II o'clock in the
mo1,1ing. The workmen did not COM
mence the final work necessary to
place her in the water until shortly
after 1 80. One Of the disappointed
ones was heard to remark that next
time he would be there a half hour
early instead of late.
No speaking program preceded the
launching. Just as the hull very
slowly started her slide to the water
below the sponsor, Mrs. NJ. P. Palm
