Borse {dea of the money the city ‘will have to spend for repairs on the nine ferryboats which Commissioner Grover A. to buy from the Union Ferry Com- pany may be formed from a study of & report made by Whalen himself last year in his Department of Plont and Structures. That report shows that a total of $866,056.89 was spent by the city in the two years alone of 1919 and 1920 im reconstructing twelve ferryboats that the city then owned, The oldest of these ferryboats was the Steinway, built in 1884, and the noxt oldest were the Harlem, built in 1889, and the Bowery Bay, built in 1890. Five of the twelve were built in 1905, three im 1907 and one, the Mayor Gaynor, fn 1914. All were screw propeller, | driven by reciprocating engines, ex- eept three side-wheelers. “All of the boats,” says the report, “after a period of almost total ne-| glect, were in a state of dilapidation | and none could be depended upon." | Even on the fairly modern boats large sums had to be expended. On tho Queens, built in 1905, the sum of $162,000 had to be spent, and on the Manhattan, built in the same year, $150,000.
