Staten Island Ferry Plan Aims for Clifton and St George
Dock Commissioner Hawkes will seek approval to build two new fast boats for the St George line and retire the old craft. The Staten Island Rapid Transit Company would operate the project with four fast twin screw double enders making 18 mph and a 15 minute rush schedule. Property would be acquired in St George Clifton and New Brighton to support future wharfage and a third ferry to New Brighton. Hawkes seeks broader waterfront policy and condemnation to secure needed dock land within a year, with four boats in service before July 1 next year.

Philippine Citizenship Question In Supreme Court Ruling
The United States government filed an official stance in the District of Columbia Supreme Court on the Philippines citizenship issue. It argues Congress has not defined civil rights for inhabitants, that the Filipino petitioner is not legally authorized to declare intent to become a U.S. citizen, and that Clerk John R. Young lacks authority to receive such declarations. The document notes the petitioner's possible renunciation of allegiance to Spain and adoption of Philippine sovereignty, without asserting steps required by the Spain treaty.
