Text | Mr. Wiman, however, had in another direction accomplished what he had undertaken. His relations with the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad were such that he is to receive for the ensuing ninety-nine years a pro rata amount from the railroad company for all persons using the Staten Island ferry during the last two years. This was one of his main reasons for planting the club on Staten Island, in conjunction with his other amusement enterprises. So while actually losing money on the “Mets,” he will fully recoup himself in another direction. |
