FERRY WHY GRDIID
- Information that navigation of
the Bnena Vista ferry might be
stopped after awhile because of
low water, yestercay took Boad
master Frank Johnson-and Com
missioner Jim Smith out there to
look over the situation. Johnson,
upon return, reported he thinks
the ferry can be kept In opera
tion without a great deal , of
trouble. "
Recent high water piled up a
good deal of sand, causing an ex
tra steep pitch at the ferry land
ing. If the water becomes too low,
an approach will probably be
built for the ferry landing.
The roadmaster and commis
sioner also were in Marlon to
watch a caterpiller working on
mart rifetrtrt si. On the return
from the ferry site they took the
river road , route from Indepen-
