Ferry to Shelter Island


Despite adverse vote by Sag Harbor property owners on a proposition to appropriate money for concrete surfacing a part of Madison Street, advocates for the improvement were determined to press for the betterment. A planned bridge from New Haven to Shelter Island was projected to bring increased motor traffic to the area. Sag Harbor once led in introducing improved roads. Supporters of the paving plan insisted the cost of road betterment would be repaid tenfold in time and that it was shortsighted to oppose earlier policy and retard development.

The season for taking scallops from bay waters closed on April 1st. Few scallops were caught in March, as the bottom had been scraped clear of the bivalves in places not in use by oyster "farmers." Prices were quite high throughout the season, ranging from $3.50 to $7.50 a gallon for prime stock. Baymen reported the outlook for scallops for next season was poor.

The music at Mass at St. Andrew’s church Easter morning was scheduled to be rendered by the girls’ choir, consisting of Mrs. Genevieve Moylan, May Aylward, Elizabeth Sykes, Ethel Logan, Florence Logan, Helen Sleight, Elizabeth Moylan, and Mrs. William Gerlach.
