The ferry ib annually- let by the County Council, "^atfflT usually by the time the ferryman becomes expert at his work, the ferry is let to another man, a circumstance whicH, resulting in the employment of another * greenhorn,' causes danger and inconvenience" t.o~ tire- public-. The Council should either let the ferry for a period of three years, or treat it as a toll bar, by employing a responsible person.
