in the following letter from Mr.. German

will be able to complete them by first day

impossible to do this the Improvements can
be suspended without interfering with the
navigation of the canal. | regret that the
financial embarrassments of the company
have prevented our board from attempting
to lengthen more than thirteen or fourteen
locks this year. The president and direc'
tors, in the interest of the coal companies
as well as the canal company, would have
been gralified if they could have heightened
double the number now proposed to be Inn
proved They therefore observe with pleas
siure your approval of the policy of length
ening the locks. Knowing as they do tina
the improvement will largely benefit you
stockholders, the public and the canal com
pany, they have the right to expect encour
agement from you as the representatives o
