bSAs VI LsEtctpfiSrs
Among the earliest notable public
Improvements the east side water
power canal stands prominent. Begun
IN 1885, IT was not completed until 1850,
after bankrupting numerous energetic
capitalists. 1t has proved, however, of
immense Importance to the industrial
development Of the city, and is still OF
lncalculablc value as source
or mechanical power, though
steam IS largely employed even
along the line If tine ditch
itself, "a an auxiliary and substitute ir
time of low water. The west side canal,
three-quarters of mile IN length, was
constructed IN ls66-6y by William T.
Powers. who joined with the East Side
Water Power company IN building the
presen. dam. Tho two canals furnish
from 1000 10 200 horse power and are
lined with mills and factories.
The city is provided with complete
and effective sewer system, and
the river is SPAWNED by eight fine
steel br.dges-fsve public and three
railway. The head of the steamboat
channel was originally at the foot of
Monroe. Pearl and Canal streets, but
about 1873 the filling up of the river
out 70 the islands was accomplished,
thus adding several blocks TO the best
business section of the city. The land
ing is now at the foot of Wealthy ave-
nue.
