Martinez to Benicia Ferry

a license was granted to Oliver C. Coffin (ominous name!) to establish a ferry between Martinez and Benicia, after he had filed a bond in the amount of two thousand dollars. The court permitted him to charge the following fares: For each foot man, $1; man and horse, $2.50; single horse, mule or ox, $2; wagon, $5; carriage, $4; each head of sheep or hogs, 50 cents.
