Thus early th«re s mahifestation ol grosy municipal mismanagement the New 'lfindulh(}mmn fel the remedy ought to be lied be- fore the' arrival of the good old eum- mer time when the vohune of business will be ‘materially increased. For some reason known only to the coun- cll management of the ferry, The cer- tificate of inspection of the ferry Governor Winthrop was permitted to expire last Friday night, that is Fri- day night of last week, and the flifasy reason is given that the old boat in New York would be ready to go on the line Saturday morning. Bven were this true there is no sense in not having the certificate renewed, as in_an emergency Inspection could have been made without interfering with the ferry schedule, for even government { inspectors of steam boats scan fit themselves to the occasion. It 8o happened that the boat from New York @id not arrive as scheduled and the result was that the Governor Winth- rop was towed back and forth between New London and Groton at an expense of $500 a day. Then it was.found that ferriage of. that somt was not practical and a trfo of small hoats were pressed into service to accom- modate foot passengers and vehicles were compelled to travel between New London and Groton by way of Norwich. The Governor ‘Wigthrop was unnecessarily out of commission and the Colonel Ledyard the . spare boat purchased from the Thames Fer- ry company with the rest of the plant, was also out of commission, occupy- ing a berth that is_costing the city money every day. During the many years that the ferry was operated by the Thames Ferry company there has not been no such inconvenience ex- u:d Hmb—-Smof%—Cc@tunJaEmDmFb 'WukmChmngUp(hly —— committee. But the Hale is hers anl sometime her usefulness as a ferry be- tween New London ane Groton o 8 leve the ferry cong to the test, even if the uuze ‘expendi ture is made to get the boat in pro- per ing order. ' Of courte, the general hope is' that the public will be disappointeq and that the Hale will do all that the representatives of the city have promised. Up to date it has tbeen one a trifie of looseness in busincss-math- od, both in the purchase of the old boat and the general management. In the meantime, the Governor Winthrop will be inspected, given certificate of inspection, and the service that pre- vailed before the advent of the Nath- fan Hale will be given the public. The committee plans to have beth boats in eration some time, and guarantees t the service will meet all the re- quirements. So mote it be. The Nathan Hale is a firu I boat and will undovbhdlg expectations in dué time, but Lhe in- convenience of the present week ough to have been avoided by advance pre- paration, On Tuesday the Hale made its initial trip across the river and in S0 doing the rudder chains were dis- arranged. Repairs were made and there was a collision with the pentoon of the. ferry slip on the Groton side and the pontoon filled with water, Then the trips were abandoned for the day. ‘The Hale made a trip or two on Wed- nesday, as many as could be made un- der the circumstance as the ferry ship on the Groton side is being rebuilt. Thursday trips were made at irregular intervals. ay the service was im- proved and was expected that by Saturday trips would be made on day party given a number of his little friends.

Here was another blunder. If the tanks would not hold sufficinet tresh water for tke trip there was am- ple room on deck to carry a supply in casks. This little incident means more expense in the overhaulding of mach- inery and consequently more delay. It has also been learned thaf before the Hale can be given a try-out in the Iocal service there must be rearrange- ment of the ferry slips. Another blunder, for had been ofitially an- nounced that the Hale would fit the ferry /slip in Groton. That the ‘com- mittee believed this is shown by act- ion in letting the certificate of inspec- tion of the Winthrop expire with the expectation thdt the Hale would ar- rive here in time to resume ‘the reg- ular trips on Saturday morning. It is a bungiing mess at best and.such con- dition is likely to continue under the present management representing the citv, who thus far have renk incom- petency in the ferry business.

With the Winthrop and Halé in condition, there is every reason to expect improved service, for ‘when the summer <raffic begins the boats *will be run on schedile time op- posite each other, that is a boat will leave the New London and Groton slips at the same time, thus doubling the accommodations of the past, which were wholly inadequate. After all is caid and done, why critic cise’ the forry committes of the oourt of eommon council? The gentlemen are doing the best they know how and at great personal sacrifice of time, as council committee work is and aiways has been a labor of love and loyalty to city. Btill this ferry matter is of considerable business magnitude and ought to have a recognized and respon- sible head and at a fair salary. Some- one of experience to guard this im- portant public service. ‘When this municipal management of the ferry was worked through the council and city meeting, it was explained by the mayor, and others, that the business could be carried on without any cost of management. The finances would bo cared for by the water and ‘sewer hoarq and the city treasurer and the operation would be directed by the ferry committee. That all sounds well but is not practical, as will be-plaidly demonstrated as time goes on. The city has already invested about 100,000 in the New London-Groton ferry, not much of an inyestment for the hig profits reported by the com- mittee, but it should" be remembered by the committee, 4s it is by the peo- pie generally, that is was not the plan of the city to take over the ferry busi- ness for-the money there is in it, but Ipurely s a matter of more adequate {and’ satisfactary public scrvice. Theré- , | fore tiie plan of the committee, as an- nounced to hold the Governor Winth- rop as an auxiliary boat, to be used in case of accident to the Nathan Hale, ought not to he put into cffect, just for the sake of making a fnancial showing. What the public wants is adequate service and this the couneil | and city meeting has azreed to do, and the committee should act accord- ingly. Yes, it is natural to knock a committee of the co of wommon council, and they all serve the city without pay, but, ever thus it has been and ever thus ‘twill be, perhaps.
