Tho members o£ the council are, however, hopeful that everything will be in Teadincss when the time arrives to complete tho municipals sation of the trans-harbour ferry service. Matters concerning ways and means of raising tho «C15,00(1 loan are now occupying the attention of the Mayor and council, and a little later they will have to set up a Ferry Board from amongst themselves and appoint a general manager of the ferry business.
