ton. lie argues that it would be unwise either
TO enlarge the canals-save possibly by length
ening the locks-Or to sell them to the General
Government. The reasons which he advances
on both these heads are to be commended TO
the careful consideration of those who are en-
deavorng to shape anew canal policy. Heshows
that the obstacles in the way both OF enlarge
ment and sale are most serious. OF related
interest are his remarks concerning the relation
of canals to railroads. and to the great purpose
which the former regulators of the
cost of carrying. Whatever others may hold TO
the contrary, Mr.. Seymour-who began to study
the canal question as far back as 1912, when he
was member of the Legislature, and who has
applied himself to ii ever since-is firm in the
conviction that the canals have not outived
their usefulness.
We are inclined to think that the majority
of New Workers will conclude that Mr.. Seymour
is partly right and partly wrong. Right IN
resisting the suggestion that the canals be sold,
wrong in opposing their enlargement The
Erie Canal has paid into the State Treasury
over $4,000, 900 more than il cost. The
owner of piece Of property which has such
record can afford to retain IT and to make such
Improvements upon il as may be necessary to
lis continued usefulness.
