The ferryboat, 18 by 40 feet in dimensions, has been built for Marion and Polk counties jointly by Oscar Rosenbaum, who super vised the launching. The hull only has been completed. The boat will have a capacity of six auto mobiles. The launching was carried out without a hitch, the boat starting readily down the ways with a lit tle prying by hand after the blocks had been removed. County Judge J. T. Hunt, Com missioner Jim Smith, and County Clerk U. G. Boyer were present at the launching. Because of heavy rain that was falling, few people witnessed the event, and because of the low temperatures, no one risked a wetting by riding the boat down the ways. It shipped little water, however. The new ferryboat was built to take the place of one recently dam aged in a wreck caused by high water conditions.
