Sec. 2.
Any person may petition the county board for license to keep a
ferry, and if said board shall deem such ferry necessary, it shall order
the county clerk to issue a license to such person, upon his paying the fee
therefor to be fixed by the board, and giving bonds as provided in this
act: Provided, that no person shall be licensed to keep ferry within 1000
feet of any established ferry, so long as such established ferry is
competent to do the business, and its owner complies with the provisions of
this act, unless the county board shall deem it necessary to establish
another ferry for the public good.
