NEW FERRY Sc VICE
DESERVES PATRONAGE

This week the kitsap County
Transportation Co. inaugurated
lb,r new Winter Ferry service
with schedule that gives the
island three round rips into Mar
ion street and five trips to Faunt-
leroy. Three of these trips to
Fauntleroy give the Island much
needed night service, the last boat
leaving Fauntleroy at II, midnight.
Now is the time to use that ser
vice, show the company that the
Islands request for night service
was not merely idle talk. Try that
night service and see how nice it is
to be able to see a show or
make longer trip in your car and
get home within the day.
This week the people of Dock
ION have reason to be glad that we
have a ferry service to Fauntleroy.
On Tuesday the motor that drives
the pump for their water supply
refused longer to run. At II 80
C. l.. Garner went to Seattle for a
new motor. He returned by way
of the Fauntleroy service and by
6 pm. the pump was in operation.
Tonight, Wednesday, the Royal
Arch Masons are in Seattle and the
y o'clock ferry makes it possible
fer them to get home.
If this service is of value to
the island and you want it contin-
ued, use it.
