hope FOR
NEW FERRY
Indications Are Now That
TottenviIIe-So. Amboy
Line Will Start in Spring

SOUTH AMBOY, Feb. 2O-The
contract for the erection of a por-
ton of the bulkhead at the site Of
the proposed Jersey Coast Ferry at
the foot of Henry street on Rose
well street near John, has been
awarded to Gustav Wickberg, of
Perth Amboy, and work on this side
of the river is expected to be start
ed within a short time or as soon
as weather conditions are favorable.
1t is expected that the rest of the
bulkheading will be started late in
the spring.
Thomas f. Martin, president Of
the Jersey Coast Ferry Company.
and William 7. Van Brunt, its vice
nsresident with other persons inter-
ted in the movement at a recent
visit to this city made IN inspection
of the water front. Mr.. Martin with
the well known gestures he is wont
to use in his impressive way said:
We are going to build a ferry here
We are going to spend a lot IF
money and we are going to put
South Amboy on the map"
1t is understood that the company
will disregard for the present the
building of the proposed large ferry
boat to accept an offer to charter
some Of New York city's boats. If
this is done and the work on this
IHide is commenced at ono it viii
be only a matter of four months
when operation of a ferry system
will be established. 1t was the in
tention of the ferry officials to use
their own newly built boats and II
they do carry out the original plans
It will be a matter of at least four
months before the boats could be
built. or even the possibility of a
longer wait. This puts to riot the
rumors that ferry operation would
be commenced in the early spring.
Engineer A. T. McMichaels has
been working for the company for
over a e and has completed the
plans for the building of the por-
ton of the bulkhead at the foot of
Henry street. There seems to be a
dispute about how the bulkhead is
to be built. Some of the members
are believed to be in favor of the
sinking of old barges while others
are in favor of more substantial
methods.
The dredging of the site is ex-
pected to be commenced as soon as
the bulkhead is completed. The
mud will be used to fill in the bulk
heading.
Unless the work is commenced at
he first signs o. good weather and
continued ferry operation is not
