On the radical enlargement of the Erie canal, to permit the lake boats to pass directly to New York. With discussion by Corthell, North, Pope, Poe, Drake, Boller, Walker, Chesbrough, Evans, Clarke, Edwards, Merrill, Van Buren, Henry, Chanute, Herschell, Cooper, Collingwood, and others. The proposition is to increase the depth to 18 feet, width to 100 feet on the bottom, length of locks to 450 feet, and make lake Erie the summit. Discussion brought out a mass of statistics and opinion. Estimate of cost varies from $125,000,000 to $240,000, 000. (See also - March, 1885.)
