ADD NEWFERRY
NEXT SUMMER
Order is Placed by Saten ISL
and Railroad Company for
New Boat
READY IN SIX MONTHS
Will be a Duplicate of "Perth
Amboy' With Some I'M
provements

A new ferryboat will replace the
''Tottenville" in carrying on the
service between this city and Tct-
tenville in about six months time,
according to an announcement just
made by H. B. Voorhees,, vice pres
ident and general manager of the
Staten Island Rapid Transit Rail-
road Company. The railroad COM
pany has already authorized the
purchase of the new ferry boat
which will be duplicate Of the
"Perth Amboy" with some minor
improvements, including steam steer-
Ing gear.
In commenting upon the acquisi-
ton of the, new ferry boat Mr..
Voorhees, said: 'It is felt that the
new boat will enable us to afford
adequate and satisfactory ferry SER
vice between Tottenville and Perth
Amboy at all times" The vice pres
ident explained that experience had
proved the Perth Amboy" to be the
type OF ferry boat suited for SER
vico in Staten Island Sound be-
tween Tottenville and this city.
The order for the new ferryboat
will be placed just as soon as the
necessary plans and specifications
can be prepared and it is expected
mat the new DOdt Will De cOIlpleteu
and ready for service in about six
months. Vice President voorhees,
does not state at this time whether
or not both boats will run at the
same time or whether the present
method of using two boats only
during the busy season will be con-
.inued.
First reports were to the effect
that an oil burning ferry with a
large automobile carrying capacity
was to be purchased to replace the
Tottenville. These reports were de-
MED by Mr.. Voorhees,. The addi-
tional length made necessary to ac-
commodate more automobiles inter-
feres so with the maneuvering of the
boat that it has been deemed advis-
able to have the new boat about the
same size as the Perth Amboy.
The work of remodeling the ferry
landing bridge here so as to pro-
vide separate walkways for passen-
gers entering and leaving the boat
is being carried on. this having been
authorized following an inspection
made by Mr.. Voorhees, land other

neers at he request of Mayor Will
