The Word MstIs

The word Metis, means mixed. It d
nom the French metis, a derivative OF
the Latin miscere, to mix. The term
was first used In this country by the
early French-speaking population OF
the Northwest TO designate persons OF
mixed white and Indian blood. Among
the Spanish-speaking population Of the
Southwest the word mestiZo, Of the
same derivation, Is used, but II applies
more especially to those Of half white
and half Indian blood.

South Amboy Gets z Bids
For New Ferry Line

SOUTH AMBOY, Nov. 1.-The In
PRODUCTION of two ordinances with
Gegard to the proposed ferry service
between this city and Staten Island,
brought to light the application
from a concern known as the South
Amboy & Staten Island Ferry Com
pany and also a communication
from the Jersey Coast Ferry Com
panv.
Both companies are anxious to get
the work started and hope for its
compilation before the rush season
was expressed in the communica-
tons. The old city dock was the
landing place selected by the par
ties soliciting the franchise. and both
asked that the dock in question be
turned over to the companies to do
whatever they saw fit to do with IL
for the best interest of all con-
cerned.
Fifty years was the time set in
both communications. Those who
Perth Amboy evening news., 1921-11-02

have given the project serious
thought are under the impression
that fifty years is too long a time to
bind the city to the successful ferry
bidder. The proposed free port, =
fresh in the minds OF the people of
the city, have much to do with the
turn of things many believing that
this section bound over for such
a length of time might in a way d.
vert the consideration of the water
front as a possible site for the es-
adjustment OF the free port on the
south shore of Raritan bay.
The question of revenue. too, has
also been the topic of discussion. A
goodly portion of those interested
think that the ferry companies con-
cerned are after something for moth
ing and can see but little benefit
from such a project. while others
contend the possibilities are numer-
Gus, and should be encouraged at
any cost.
