MR.. ROBERTS DEPRECATES HASTY AC-
TION ON THE CANAL QUESTION.
IN THEIR PRESENT RESENTMENT THE PEOPLE

MEN DECEIVED.

MEN DECEIVED.
Albany. Jan. II (speciaD.-James a. Roberts
the State Controller said to-day he hoped what
he had said about eubmitting to the people the
question OF expending S700000O more in the
improvement Of the States canals would not be
misintcrpreted
Some persons" he added, seem to think that
! am opposed TO submitting this question to the
voters at the fall election. I am not opposed 10
1t. II the friends Of the canals consider II prudent
to do so. 1 live in Buffalo and. Of course, earn
estly favor any action which will lead to the I'M
provement Of the canal system. But the sup
porters OF the canal Improvement scheme would
not like to see it defeated at the polls. am
apprehensive that it might be defea ed next fall.
because Of the people having become prejudiced
against the plan in consequence Of the unfortu-
nate secrecy which has been observed until now
in regard to the fact that it will take $',0o0,o0o
more to do the work. 1t takes a long time in
this State for news to filter down to the people;
and while Canal Commission might be able 10
show that it would be wise to complete the canal
improvement. even if $1GOOOO00 were spent on
1t, yet that knowledge might not become general,
and so the proposition mgst be beaten.
Il think it very unfortunate that the people
were led to believe that all this work could be
done for S9000oO0. State Engineer Adams and
Mr.. Aldrdge. the superintendent Of Public
Works. ought. in the interest of the improve
ment of the canals, to have been far franlIer
as TO the actual cost. Again and again at the
meetings Of the Canal Board the statement was
made that the plans were drawn to complete
the work for 1900, 600 and it met with no con-
tradiction from Mr. Aldridge, while Mr.. Adams
at the fRst meeting in response to an inquiry
from another member. said the job could be
done for 100000. Even late as June. 1891,
the other members of the Canal Board were told
that the Erie Canal Improvement could be COM
peted, and the Oswego and Champlan Canal
improvements would be nearly finished for that
sum.
"As for Mr. Aldridge's statement that ought
to have known from the contracts filed in my
office that the work would cost more than
S9.OW,0OO. / would reply that these contracts
were filed in my office with only one object.
namely, as a warrant for making payments out
of the S9,OOOOOO They gave me no hint that
this work would cost $4,000 600"
Mr.. Roberts says Mr. Aldridge must have been
msinformed TO the understanding OF the
would cost more than S9OOOOG0 II saw Rob-
ert r. Hefford. the chairman OF the Executive
Canal Committee In Buffalo the other day"
said the Controller "and he informed me posi-
lively that the canal We're told that
S9.OO0.OOD would be sufficient. and even that
a leeway OF about 81 10000 had been provided
for extras and possible errors in estimates.
