such immediate action Of that committee, he
was not prepared with this report when the

GEO. @. BENHAM,

On the sixth of March, 1866, by the terms Of
the charter of the Canal Bank, the New canal
and Its appurtenances became the property
OF the State. The Canal Bank did agree to
and after thfrty-ffve years usage of the same
to convey the property to the State In fee
simple, as bonus for a charter with banking
privileges.
1866, anticipating the transfer Of this property,
passed IAN act to authorize the lease OF the
New canal. By the terms Of this act 1t be-
came the duty OF the Governor to cause to
advertise a ETC, for proposals for leasing the New
canal. The Governor advertised for sealed
proposals for twenty days. Nine bids were
made. The Governor submitted all OF the
bids to the Senate, indorsing the one made
by Richard Taylor as the most advantageous
70 Inc State. Inc Senate unanimously con-
nrmed the selection made by the Governor,
and the canal was leased to Richard Taylor
for the term OF fifteen years. The lease was
passed before r. @. Stark, notary public and
Is OF record In his Office.
