Joe Sirugo, organizer of which plans |thrice weekly service be- tween this city and Carden- as, Cuba, appeared before the commission at a special meeting yesterday and out- lined the terms of the lease he is asking. After a discus- sion, the commission instruc- ted city attorney J. Y. Port- er to meet with attorney William V. Albury, who rep- resents Sirugo to draw up a lease for consideration by the city fathers. Sirugo asked a 20 year rental agreement, proposing to break ground within six months and to have a ferry in operation by next December or the lease would be void. “No ferry — no lease,” said Siru- go. Lease Needed “T have gone as far as ¥ eam on this thing without a lease,” he added in asking for speedy action from the commission.

In endorsing the lease on the city-owned property which has not been in use for 30 years, commis- sioner Louis Carbonell said, “We have nothing to lose, we ought to encourage this proposal.” Mayor Favors Plan Mayor C. B. Harvey also came out in favor of the deal but he pointed out that ‘a lease will have to be worked out.” “I’m all for it,” he added. “I’m interested in seeing a ferry and 1 don’t care who runs it.” “It’s up to the city to do some- thing,” Sirugo replied. The lease also calls for a five year tax exemption on the pro- 'perty and a provision that if the ferry line grows to the point where it requires larger facilities, the company would be allowed to op- erate other business at the site, giving the city 25 per cent of the profit.
