ErItrgement of the Champaign Canal.

/ The bill for the enlargement Of the Champ
lain Canal, which has passed both houses the
NY. Legislature, provides first for tax for
each Of the fiscal years beginning Oct. /,
1870, ISL, lo72, 1873, and 1874, for the
objects and purposes defined in the bill, the
whole sum thus raised to be thus applied
The sum Of three millions two hundred thous-
and dollars. the proceeds of the tax, shall be APP
pliel and expended for the enlargement Of the
Chauplajn canal in such a manner as 10 give
throughout the entire length Of such canal
uniform depth Of seven feet Of water and
width Of forty-four feet on the bottom, and
6ftyeg ht feet Of water surface, except As in the
opinion Of the Canal Board may be required for
business purposes, when in that case the walls
may be made vertical but retaining the same
depth of water and width of water surface, and
no part Of the said appropriation shall be ap-
pile! on OF for any other object or purpose until
;Ae above enlargement shall be made and COM
pleted.
The bin provides that the state Engineer
shall make the necessary surveys, plans and
estimates Of the proposed enlargement as soon
as practicable and the work now in progress,
under the act of 1864, shall be made to con-
form to the dimensions prescribed in this act.
The original cost of the canal was about 81
20003o, and as much more has been spent
upon i; in Improvements. Al the engineers .
admit the feasibility Of the enlargement. They
differ some as to the cost of it. State Eugi-
neer Goodscll estimated the cost o! enlarge
ment 10 the Erie size, in lS67, TO be $500,
600 at that time. At present, Canal Com
missioner Chapman believes the cost Of en-
lassing TO the proposed dimensions would
not exceed half of that sum, or less than
three millions Of dollars Another careful
by Engineer Croker, puts the total
cost az the figures named above, $3.2o0,e0o. .
