Abandons Ferry Service Amid Bond Buyout Rumors
Rumors of ferry service disruption proved true as the steamer Alexandria will quit after the last trip on Saturday July 27. The boat, formerly the Vermont, was bought from New York and will leave the Potomac. Alexandrians’ $10,000 5 percent gold bonds have been bought at a discount, signaling likely closure of the Washington and Alexandria Ferry Company. The withdrawal follows the Firth-Stirling firm’s refusal to renew a contract for stopping at the steel plant at Gresboro Point, and the trolley line plus trucks are seen as substitutes for freight and passenger needs.
