Slnco the pttrchnso of tho prcsont ferry buttt hus been turned down at the polls, what next? Docs tho gen eral public dcslro n free ferry, or doeH IL not? Docm It want a now ferry bout, or does It deslro thu pur cliasu of tho present bout at n fur ther reduced cost? These aru ques BtreetH, nnd tho usual answer Is, Hons that aro being asked on thu "Search mo." Wo bcllovo, howover. thnt tho pcoplo do want a freu ferry but it Is quite obvious thnt they aru unwilling to purchase, tho present boat at any prlco. They don't want It. Too mnny objections nru offered whenever thu question Is raised, so that It seems to us thnt It would b futile, to over bring It tip again eve If tho prlco was split In two. And from 11 financial viewpoint thu com puny would ho foolish to very mater' tally rcduco tho price. That they will have n prosperous and profit' able summer Is n forcgonu conclu slon. And tho chances nro thnt freu ferry cannot bo placed In com mission before next summer, nnd It Ik doubtful If It will happen then. If thu proposition of building 11 new boat rontes up to bo voted upon we do not believe enough voters so lack' lug In thu spirit of fair play could be found who would ho In favor of freezing tho present company out It Is not the American nplrlti Kven If n now boat was built It Is n tines Hun whether It would moot with thu approval of thu county commissioners Thu bill which passed thu legislature calls fur u "fit, safe and commodious ferry.". How this would bo Intorprot ed Is a matter of conjecture. Judgu Webster nnd thu commissioners liuvu us nt their mercy 011 tho prop osltlon.
