A CORRECTION

In the article published yesterday
Ferry Service, etc. the sentence be-
ginning "our city grade", the word
NOT was left out. The sentence
should have read Our city grades,
the various roadways leading to the
ferry are sometimes bad by reason of
washing and for money, but just CEN
sure can not fall upon Council for
this faulty condition.
