- Full Text
Grand Island Ferry Disabled.
The GRAND ISLAND, the new steel ferry boat operating between Buffalo City Line and Grand Island, is laid up at her dock at the island with a broken propeller wheel as the result of a mix-up with the ice. She will be on her run again in a few days. In the meantime the HENRY KOEBER is making her trips for her. Running ice is causing a lot of trouble for the NIAGARA FRONTIER , operating between Buffalo and Fort Erie.
