CANALS.
MENT
AUD
RS SEAL
THE PUBLIC CANALS of the State arc made, by the Constitution, inalienable. They were first constructed for the purpose of facili- tating settlement and of opening an easy means of communication between the Atlantic and the great lakes. The canals arc under the eare of several State officers, the powers and duties of whom are as follows :-
The Canal Commissioners, threc in number, are clceted one each year and hold offiec for three years. They have the imme- diate supervision and management of the construction and repairs N YORK of canals, and are ex officio members of the Canal and Contracting Boards. They have their offiec in the State Hall, and report annually to the Legislature. The eanals have three general divisions, each of which is under the special charge of a commissioner.1
The State Engineer and Surveyor has general charge of the engineering department of the canals, and is a member of the Canal and Contraeting Boards. He has an office in the State Hall, and reports annually to the Legislature.2
The Canal Board consists of the Commissioners of the Canal Fund, the State Engineer, and the Canal Commissioners. It meets, during the session of the Legislature, at the office of the Canal Department, fixcs the rates of toll, appoints collectors of tolls, their assistants and weigli- masters, directs extraordinary repairs; hears appeals from the Canal Appraisers, remits penalties, and regulates the police of the eanals.3
The Auditor of the Canal Department draws warrants on the Treasurer for all eanal payments, audits accounts, instruets collecting and disbursing officers, and keeps aecount of eanal receipts and expenditures. He is ex officio Secretary of the Commissioners of the Canal Fund and of the Canal Board, and a incmber of the Contracting Board. His office, known as the "Canal Department," is in the State Hall at Albany.
The Canal Appraisers, three in number, arc appointed one caeh ycar, and hold office for three years. They appraisc all damages arising from the canals, whether temporary or permanent in their nature. They have an office in the State Hall.
The Contracting Board consists of the State Engineer, the Auditor of the Canal Depart- ment, and the Canal Commissioners. It appoints all division, resident, and first assistant engineers.4 The Commissioners of the Canal Fund consist of the Lieutenant Governor, Secre- tary of State, Comptroller, Treasurer, and Attorney General. The Auditor of the Canal Department is ex officio Secretary of the Board. They have the general management of the funds and debts of the canal.5
1 The Eastern Division embraces the Erie Canal as far w. as Onebla Lake Canal. 136 miles; Champlain Canal and Glens Falls Feeder. 78 miles: Pond above Troy Dam, 3 miles: Black River Canal and limprovement, 95 miles; making a total of 315 miles.

2 lfe prescribes the duties of engineers and assigns to them divisions, visits and inspects all the canals at least once in each year. mul prepares plans, surveys, maps, and estimates for con- struction or improvement. He has other duties relating to rail- reads, lands belonging to the State; and other subjects are also assigned to him from time to time.
In the Engineering Department are the following subordinate officers :-
Division Engineers, one to each division. are appointed by the Contracting Board with the consent of the State Enginrer. They have special supervision of the sections of canals in their respetivo divisjons, and are obliged to frequently pass over the rantal : miel they prepare all maps. plans, and specifications for work to be ant nuber contract. They make full reports annually to the state ungincer The office of the Resident Engineer of the Eastern Division is at Albany, of the Middle Division at Syracnec, and of the Western Division at Rochester.
Resident Engineers. 12 in number, have imurdiate charge of certain sections under the supervision of resident engineers. They are areisted by :
First Assistant Engineers, appointed by the Contracting Board, and
Second Assistant Engineers, appointed by Resident Engineers. The number of these assistants is regulated by the amount of labor in progress. Levelers. surveyors. draftsmen. clerks. &c. are employed as the Department may require, and are ap- pointed in the same manner as Second Assistant Enginvers. No engineer or other puldie officer appointed upon the canals. or a clerk. foreman. or overseer of laborers. is allowed to have an interest in the boarding of laborers. or in furnishing trams. materials, or any other thing belonging to himself, for the nse of the public.
$ There are 20 collectors of tolls on the Erie. 3 on the Cham- plain. 3 on the Oswego. 3 on the Seneca & Cayuga. 3 on the Chemung. 1 on the Crooked Lake. 3 on the Chenango. 5 on the Genesce Valley, 1 on the Black River. and 1 on the Oneida Lake Canal. There are also 41 assistant collectors. Collector's may be removed by the Canal Commissioners or the Auditor.
4 This Board was created April 16, 1854, and its power- were enlarged and defined May 14, 1857. Until May 1. 1859. it appointed superintendents of repairs; but since that time all repairs are made by contract. Repairs were formerly made by laborers, hired by the day or month. under the direction of sujetin- tendents: It in 1857 the Contracting Board was authorized to let the ordinary repairs npon contract for a term of yeir's.
6 The canal firmel was derived from the following sources :-
1815-35. Anetion duties, (in part.) amounting in all to . $3.592.039.05 2.035.455.00 Salt Antics amcomting iu all to .... In 1835, these revenues were restored to the general fund, by a popular vote of 68,126 to 8,675. 1817-23. Steamboat passenger tax. amounting in ull to 73.509.99

CANALS.
Reports are annually made to the Legislature by the heads of the various Canal Departments concerning every thing pertaining to the Canal interests. These reports, embodying voluminous details and summaries, are printed, and are easily accessible to all.1
The total premiums upon loans amounted to ...... $2,295,744.12 The total discount upon loans amounted to 290.508.04 Special loans were ruade for most of the lateral canals. A tract of land from the Onondaga Salt Springs Reservation was sold for the benefit of the Oswego Canal Fnud. and amounted to $160,000. Stock in the Western Inland Lock Navigation Co., amounting to $32.000, was canceled for the benefit of the canals, and the interests of individuals in that work were canceled by purchase. The muount appraised was $152.718.52.
The Constitution provides ( Art. VI]) that, after paying the expenses of collection, superintendence, aml repairs, the sum of $1.300.000, and after 1855. $1,700,000, shall be applied annu- ally, from the revenues of the canals, to a sinking fund. to pay the caual debt. In 1857, the surplus receipts of tolls failed. for the first time since 1848, to meet this, and it became necessary to raise by direct tax the money required to pay interest on the stock. The clause in the Constitution prohibiting the creation of a debt for any public work, without imposing a direct tax for its payment and a submission to the popular vote, was sus- pended by an amendment adopted Feb. 14. 1854. to allow of the raising of $9.000,000, by the issue of State stock, for the more speedy enlargement and completion of the canals. A measure was introduced in the Legislature of 1859, for the loan of a fur- ther sum for this object. and the submission of the question to the decision of a popular vote.
