In 1871, the Legislature of New York passed an act authorizing the construction of a swing-bridge over the Erie Canal Hotel street in Utica, for the purpose of enabling heavy loads to cross the canal without encountering the steep grades by which the stationary bridges of the city are necessarily approached. But the canal being only 59 feet wide at that point, a pier in the centre was inadmissible, while a bridge mounted on a pier upon the shore, would be so long, and occupy so much room when open, that it could not be constructed and used without the abatement of one or more valuable business stands. This would have involved an amount of expense, which neither the state authorities, nor the citizens to be benefited by the bridge, were willing to incur.
