Stor Stoff CORRESPONDENT

MATAPEAKE, Md, July g.
An unusual offering on the mari
time market has attracted pros
pective purchasers from four
continents to this little Chesa-
peake Bay landing. A fleet Of
five Diesel-driven ferry boats in
spic and span condition is being
offered by the State of Mary
land to the highest bidder.
Advertisements asking for
sealed bids by August 6 appeared
in 20 metropolitan newspapers
last week. The boats stopped
operating last summer when the
Chesapeake Bay Bridge was
opened to traffic. In the IL
months since. they have been
inspected by parties from near
and far.
A Turkish group is thinking
of putting them into service,
crossing the Bosporus from
Istanbul to Asia Minor. A party
from the Argentine inspected the
boats, hoping to establish an
automobile ferry on the River
Plata. Businessmen from Three
Rivers, Ontario, and from Puget
Sound, Wash, also have in
spected the ferries, as have rep
resentatives of the Common
wealth of Virginia.
The last were considering US
ing the ferries on the Hampton
ds-Newport News crossing.
Three MOOred at Matapeake.
Three of the ferries are moored
at the Matapeake, or Eastern
Shore terminus; the other two
at the Sandy Point landing.
almost under the bridge.
The ferries would have been
sold Immediately after the bridge
opened, but bills were introduced
into the legislature calling for
establishment of a ferry crossing
in the lower bay, from Crisf1eld
to Point Lookout, or from Taylors
Island to Long Beach.
The State Roads Commission,
which operated the ferries,
studied the economic feasibility
of ferry operation at these points
and reported against it.
B. Frank Sherman, a short,
stccky man with a weatherbeaten
countenance, has been taking in
terested parties aboard the fer
ries. Mr.. Sherman was manager
of the ferry operation. He will
hate to see the boats 60. One is
named after him.

block transfer of the school

c. Melvin Sharpe, board presi-

it was under consideration.
A hearing may be granted
either on motion of the board
president or at the request OF

The School Board voted the
transfer last week by vote
of four to three to relieve over
crowding at the Slowe Elemen-
tary School. The next day the
Noyes parents requested recon-
sideration, but again lost by q
four to- three vote.
Joseph L. Traynor, a spokes-

mittee, has asserted the group
has not had a chance to state
it's case because of the sudden
way in which the School Board

"She cost us more than $780,
900, but you couldn't buy her for
less than SIS million today. And

Frank Sherman has worked
for the ferries since he was mus
tered out at Fort Meade. He got
a job selling tickets at the An
napolis landing. He had been in
France with the 29th Division in
World War I. About 1926, he
became general manager. It was
then the Claiborne-Annapoli
Ferry Co. In 1941, the State pur-
chased it for $1.2 million.
West Terminus Changed.
The west terminus was moved
from Annapolis to Sandy Point,
the narrowest crossing of the
bay. The running time was cut
from Is to Is minutes. It was
then the ferry began to carry
traffic in such volume that made
the bridge possible.
The company had four boats
when the State took over. One
Of them had a wooden deck and
was scrapped as unsafe. A New
York ferryboat-the Northern
New Jersey" which had been
operating from 125th street
New York, to Weehauken, N. j.
was bought to replace it.
Three years later, the new
boat was named the "B. Frank
Sherman" through an act of the
Legislature. She cost $500, 900,
and 100000 more was spent to
recondition her. The "O'Conor''
was built later.
How Ferry Got Its Name.
In showing the John M. Dem
mis-" Mr.. Sherman told how he
named her.
THAT was in 1929" he said.
"Mr. Dennis was treasurer of the
company and president of the
Union Trust Co. of Baltimore
went to him with a sketch of
the new boat with his name
lettered on it.
"'How would you like your
name on this new boat?' I asked
him.
HE had a lot of questions
which I answered. Then he
| asked, How much money do you
need?' I said, $25O,OO0. It will
cost $500,000, but we have the
rest He said all right"
Mr.. Sherman looked up at the
bridge.
II want to tell you one thing "
he said. 1--WE were a going con-
cern and it took $50 million to
