posed to amend by adding TO the resolution the word
"Oswego,' where the enlargement is mentioned

The commerce and business OF the two Lakes were
greatly Increasing Railroad facilities had been opened
10 the Bosbureh and Scranton coal regions, and the

with prospect ofmaing much greater augmentation
This Canal YVES the channel for of the very best ag
ricultursl regions in the State BY means OF aqueducts
and canals the State has barcaded and shut out these
Lakes from the main Canal and the enlargement OF the
connecting link is absolutely necessary. The expense
