Plans for Ferry Landing

The best part of an hour was givÂ­
en to open discussion on the new
ferry landing situation. A deputaÂ­
tion of "Paddy" Fix and two others
interested in the ferry com}latry,
submitted plans for the council's apÂ­
proval of new buildings to be erectÂ­
ed and other changes to be made on
the ferry premises.
Difference of
opinion
centred
round suggested approaches to the
ferry company property, but Mr. Fi,x
objected to making an entrance as
far away as Princess street, saying
that at the present time it was finÂ­
ancially impossible for him to build
the necessary road, and requested
that as a temporary measure, he be
1 allowed to bring traffic off the bouleÂ­
vard at a point near the foot of ForÂ­
sythe street on the no,.th side of the
property no
occupied by Sullivan's
fish and chip shop.
Mr. Fix further pointed out that,
with the consent of the council, the
plans already drawn up for the ï¿½ew
landing are for 100 per cent. mtÂ­
provement to the property, to be
enclosed by an attractive high wire
fence. He was granted permission to
use the Sullivan entrance temporÂ­
arily for two months, on condition .,
that in July the approach is changÂ­
ed to Princess street.
Plans submitted for the new buildÂ­
ings were not in detail and the counÂ­
cil took ex ception to frame strucÂ­
tures , recommended hv the GovernÂ­
ment claiming that the ferr) "..alluÂ­
.
ing lies within Fort Erie's fire reÂ­
oï¿½ly
therefoi:e
and
stricted area
stone,_ cement block or S?hd bnck
structures may be erected, m aï¿½co;dÂ­
ance with the present .town ï¿½uildmg

.
if some special permission wï¿½rï¿½ not
buildmgs,

.
he will be obliged to shift .two or
three of the present stands il!stead,
and abandon the idea o makmg an

cil remained firm that 'the by-laï¿½

should not be amendeï¿½
was agreed that ï¿½

appreciated by the
Ferry company and the

use it till the Town

up barricades.
