Se., insulting Engineer and Expert on Ge Population and Statistics of j the City ef New York.) More people use the ferries crossing thé tivers and‘ harbor of NewYork City every day than are carried on ‘all the vther ferryboats in the United Btates.

A considerable amount of this im- qpense ferry traffic originates with the Pailroad lines having terminals on the Jersey side of the East River, but the ferry boats owned and operated by _the City of New York alone handle between 89,000 and 90,000 passengers & day and transport an average of ‘4208 vebicles.
