Cross-harbour ferries for the conveyance of cars and motor lorries have been foreshadowed for some years and it has been generally recognised that a re- gular service devoted entirely' to meeting these needs would be a |considerable benefit.
The irregularity of the present service is a considerable handicap not only to motor owners travel- ling for pleasure but to business concerns interested to the trans- port of goods or materials across the harbour,
It is understood that H.E. the Governor has particularly, inter ested himself in the scheme for
