| see done by the City and other
public boards, but the small added
cost would be practically nothing
compared to what we now pay.
From the figures in the possession
of the Honorable Commissioner of
Public Property, you can readily see
how easily practicable and profit
able is municipal ownership of the
Ferry System.
The City has had and has many
difficult problems to solve. The
Sewerage and Drainage and the Belt
Railroad problems are solved, while
you are about to solve the garbage
disposal and the railways problems.
The ferry problem compared to any
of the subjects mentioned, is a mere
bagetelle-a cent among hundreds
of 90 dollar gold pieces, for the prob
lem has been worked out for you by
others. The ferry proposition in my
lifetime has made for its various
lessees three large fortunes. All
other problems have come before you
coupled with a vast amount of .un-
certainty. whereas this problem
comes before you solved. with the So
luton showing large revenues to the
City and immense profits TO the
! lessees. You know before hand the
result of the problem in this case.
1t is a certainty of large profits.
We ask the Council to give care
full consideration of this matter from
our point of view, as the deep seated
conviction is in on us, that the moral
side of the question is with us. as
are also equity, fairness and justice
