<br />
<br /> We attribute the decrease in pmssenger traffic this year to the fact that last
<br />year the Berkley Bridge was out of oommissionfrom December 28th to March 15th, 192Y, which
<br />swelled the passenger receipts for that period.
<br />

<br />Been operated ~uring the entire day and four boats during the rush oeriods in the morning and
