IT. has been the purpose of this article
to leave out as much us possible Of the
details. in order that the substance of
the plan might more fully and plainly
appear. where it has been thought best
to make the idea clear, the sections
have been given as if quoted from an
act; but in some Instances it was
thought best to give only the substance
of what the section should provide.
A member of the legislature, wishing
to draft bill covering the plan herein
outlined would certainly have to attend
to the details of every step But in
this article no detail, essential to the
proper understanding of the scheme,
has been omitted The author is mod
est enough to claim that, if any plan is
put into operation, in the near future,
it will embody the substance OF what is
given above. In the distant future
congress may be induced to do some
thing on a larger scale, but not soon.
If any on has better plan or, any
valid criticism OF this one the writer
would be pleased TO read it. If a canal
can be constructed by corporate funds
in any section of country. it can be
done in this way and at actual cost to
the settler. OK"
