The first of April, 1910, and was continued
until the first Of July, when the water was
drawn of for the purpose of rebuilding the
locks, and was not le: in again until the 6rst
Of October.
This division has received very heavy re-
pairs during the past season. The Board
stated in their last annual report, that con-
tracts had been entered into " for rebuild.
ing all the wooden locks on the North Branch
Division, the aqueducts over Mill Creek
and Lodges Run, all the defective bridges,
and for constructing substantial towing
path along the pool Of the Nanticoke DAM"
Owing to the lateness of the season at
which the contracts were made, the difficult

uncertainty as to the time Of procuring
funds, and the abandonment of their Jobs
