On the Increased Efficiency of Railways for the Transportation of Freight
At the Louisville convention of this Society, held in May, 1873, a distinguished civil engineer and member of this Society, quoting from an address delivered by him before the Chamber of Commerce of the City of New York, took the ground that the New York State canals formed the only line of transportation to tide-water, for the cereal products of the great West, that could compete with the Welland Canal and St. Lawrence River, and that a ship canal connecting the waters of the great lakes with the Hudson River was necessary to the continuance of the commercial supremacy of the City of New York.
