CITY OF BOSTON. OFFICE OF EAST BOSTON FERRIES, TO THE HONORABLE CITY COUNCIL : GENTLEMEN :-The undersigned, Directors of the East Boston Ferries, in accordance with the sixth section of the Ordinance on Ferries, would respectfully say, in submitting their second Annual Report of Receipts and Expenditures, that the boats are all in good running order, except the ferryboat "Jefferson," which will be put in good condition at once. We would say there has been built, from the fifty thousand dollars appropriated for that purpose, the new steam ferryboat Ben Franklin," which is now running on the North Ferry, and gives perfect satisfaction, being, we think, one of the finest boats to be found used in that capacity. The buildings, drops and landings are in good repair, and the annexed exhibit shows the receipts and expenses for the year ending April 30, 1872. D. D. KELLY, W. F. ROBINSON, S. B. HOPKINS, CHARLES STANWOOD, W. WOOLLEY, W. F. BROOKS, NEHEMIAH GIBSON. Directors. |
