IMPORTANCE OF ERIE CANAL

75 feet. Generally speaking. this
means that the main canal will be en-.
larged to about four times its present
transportation capacity. AT present
the depth ranges from to 9 feet
about one-third OF the waterway be
ing of the latter depth, to which II
was excavated by the expenditure OF
80 100000 appropriated for this pur-
pose in 1894 When the historic
Seneca Chief. the first boat to carry
freight and passengers upon II, made
the trip from Buffalo to Albany. the
canal was but 2S feet in width on
the bottom, 40 feet on the surface.
while its average depth was not over
4 feet. The demands of commerce so
crowded II with trafic, that only ten
years later the New York legislature
authorized the enlargement which APP.
proximately represents the dimensions
of the canal prior to the enlargement
of 1864 work which was not com.
pleted until 1862.
The barge of the future, however.
will have cargo capacity of 3S Is
times the original craft. % 2-S times
the boats of the period between 1880
and 1850. ten times those In service
between 1850 and 1862, and four times
as great as the average boat In pres.
ent use. What is perhaps more sig.
niflcant. however. is the extent of tho
cargoes which can be shipped at one
,, time by feet of tows of the new
boats. The majority of the towing
vessels are intended as cargo car
| riers, but provided with engines SUI.
fciently powerful to pull from two to
three boats in addition. moving at a
rate of from four to six miles an hour.
Thus from $4,000 to $4,000 bushels of
wheat can now be transported from

will probably be followed In making
