City Seizes Ferry Lines
For Disregarding Orders
Municipal Operation of Union
Co. Boats to Brooklyn Will
Begin Of Midnight

Commissioner Grove 4. whalen OF
the Department OF Plant and struc-
lures announced yesterday that the
city would take over and operate the
Atlantic Avenue and Hamilton Avenus
ferry lines Of the Union Ferry Com
pany, beginning at midnight to-day.
He served notice 10 that effect upon
the ferry company. The Commissioner
based his proposed action on tho fail
ure OF the company TO comply with his
orders OF December requiring the
transfer Of the operation OF the two
ferries from the present terminal at
the foot Of Whitehall Street, Manhat-
tan, 20 the terminal adjoining in South
Street.
Commissioner Whalen said the mu-
naturalization OF these ferries had been
urged By civic organizations in Brook
lyn as far back as April. 1918. The
fares we're excessive and had been In
creased several times. he declared. de,
spite orders issued By him 90 cancel
the Illegal rates. The ferry company
charged 10 cents The city condemned
the privately owned ferry terminals OF
the company and took title 70 the prop
erty in January. 1922. The city could
not take over and operate the ferries
at that time. the Commissioner ex-
plained, because OF the lack Of ferry
boats. The city tried 10 purchase the
nine boats belonging to the Union COM
pany, Offering s350,0o0 for them, but
thl company demanded 81 100000. The
city now has enough boats TO operate
the ferries
Commissioner Whalen said that he
intended 10 give places TO all the old
employees OF the Union Ferry Com
pany In the new service. so they will
not be thrown out OF work on the eve
OF Christmas. The ferries will be
operated on scent fare.
