read bill which he had prepared, by the
provisions of which the county would &C
quire ownership of all toll roads. A reso.

The high waters which caused the break
in the canal at Seneca have receded very
much at that point and the full extent of
the damage done there can now be seen
more plainly. The break at the lock at that
place is thirteen feet deep and about fifty
long. The high water also took away one
corner of the foundation of the store of
Frederick Alnutt at that place, which is
situated on the banks of the canal opposite
the lock. The canal is damaged at other
places, and is full of debris as we'll. The
county roads along the river in many places
were left under water and the roadbed is
badly washed and is impossible in many
places.
