GR0TON FERRY IS NOT
 TO BE DISCONTINUED

Final arrangements were made Tues day for the maintenance of the ferry be- tween Groton and New London when Borough Attorney Charles F. Willard in conference with Director of Finance Me Guire of New London drew up provisions whereby the service which was proposed to be discontinued by the city of New London would be kept running with the responsibility on the opposite side of the river.
 There will be slight cut in the op- erating hours of the ferry, of the op- erating force and of the rates of travel to motor vehicles.
 New London reserves the privilege of selling the ferry boat Mohican if they find satisfactory customer but they agree that they may do so only after two wees notice given to the Groton people.
 Notices were put up Tuesday in the ferry houses and on the boat to replace those posted by the city insuring the maintenance of the service which would have been discontinued on Thanksgiving Day had not this step been taken by the people of Groton. The undertaking is made possible through the efforts of the committee ap- pointed a week ago who have secured a list of guarantors of the expenses of the ferry.
