RESOLUTION,
Mr.. READ offered the following resolu-
tion, which was adopted:
WHEREAS, The citizens OF Sandyville and
vicinity petitioned the Ohio Legislature in
the winter of 1866, to pass an act author
izing the State of Ohio to adopt as part
of the Public Works, that portion of the
Sandy and Beaver Canal which lies between
Bolivar and Sandyville, as navigable
feeder to the Ohio canal; and,
WHEREAS, An act was passed on the 9th
day of April, 1856, adopting it on condition
that the owners of said canal should keep
that part of said canal in good repair
and.
WHEREAS, In pursuance of the induce
ment held out by said Legislative act and
the construction put upon it by the people
of Sandyville and vicinity, they, for the
purpose of having communication with
the Ohio canal, expended $1,000 in buying
the right OF way, paying damages and
putting said feeder in good repair; and,
WHEREAS, The same was accepted as
part of the public WORKS; and,
WHEREAS, Afterwards the Board of
Public Works in their resolution of ac-
ceptance only accepted that portion of the
canal lying between Bolivar and the lock,
at the head of slackwater pool, and so
construed the law as not to include the
said lock; and,
WHEREAS, By reason of such construo-
tion the work is entirely valueless to the
people of Sandyville and vicinity, as they
have no connection with the Ohio canal,
and derive no benefit from the expenditure
of money; therefore,
Resolo d. That the committee or the

instructed to inquire into the justice and
of said Claim and report to the
House by bill or otherwise.
