<br />concerning the following matter referred to the Joint Ferry ~ommlttee October 10, 1911:

<br />absolutely no control of the floating property of The Ferries Company so long as it maintains its
<br />schedule between Portsmouth and Norfolk, Portsmouth and Berkley, Mud Norfolk and Berkley, and other-
<br />wise complies with the terms of its lease.
