From 234 U.S. 317 - Port Richmond Bergen Point Ferry Company v. Board of Chosen Freeholders of the County of Hudson · 1914Most cited · 110 citing opinions
Ferries, such as are involved in the present case, are simply means of transit from shore to shore. These have always been regarded as instruments of local convenience, which, for the proper protection of the public, are subject to local regulation; and where the ferry is conducted over a boundary stream, each jurisdiction with respect to the ferriage from its shore has exercised this protective power.
