Ferry lines quit amid city fight over costly ferries
Five East River ferry routes linking Manhattan to Brooklyn halted at 5 AM causing mass congestion. Controller Metz denounced the move as an attempt to force the city to pay 12 million for a 3 million property, while NYC courts and the New York Terminal Company prepared for further legal action. Local traffic police struggled to untangle streets as thousands faced delays and angry workers lined ferry houses awaiting word on service restoration.
