French Creek Division.
The French Creek division has been prosecuted with spirit, since the appropriation of last spring ena- bled the contractors to proceed with their work, and twenty-two and a fourth miles of it are nearly ready
for navigation. This division of the public improve- ments, commences on the Allegheny river, near the borough of Franklin, ninety-three miles above the mouth of the Kiskiminetas, or main line of the Penn- sylvania canal; and it is carried up French Creek twen- ty-two and a fourth miles, to the "feeder, " from whence the feeder forms the continuation of the canal, up which the right branch proceeds eleven miles, and the left branch down the feeder twelve and a half miles, to Conneaut lake. The whole division is forty-five miles and two hundred and sixty-four perches long, of which about twenty seven and a fourth miles is canal, and eighteen and a half miles is slackwater; and, with the Conneaut lake, will give about fifty miles of nagi- tion. There are twelve dams, and eighteen lift and guard-locks, on the line.
The last year's appropriation to this division is ex- hausted; and a dam near the head of the feeder, a tow- ing path along the pool of the dam, and many other jobs of work on the division, have been suspended until another season, for want of funds.
The increased expense of the line over the last year's estimate, is owing to an inadvertent omission in pro- viding for contingent expenses; to several new works having been added; to damages done by a flood in Sep- tember last, and other unforeseen difficulties in con- struction; to additional strength given to the work; and above all, to re-lettings, by which a large amount of work advanced in price forty per cent. over the con- tract prices of last year.
The main stem of the division will be navigable next spring; and the suspended work may be completed, and the feeder also put in good order for navigation, by the first of September, 1834.

hundred and thirteen perches long, with forty-three feet of lockage, but that expectation has been disap- pointed in consequence of a scarcity of labourers.
There are on this line, several sections requiring eith- er deep excavation through rock, or heavy outside protection walls to be built, and consequently a large force was necessary on those jobs, that could not be obtained in that neighborhood. Much difficulty was experienced in sinking the pit and getting in the foun- dation of an outlet lock at the mouth of Solomon's creek, and the site of the feeder dam in the Lackawan- na creek had to be changed, on account of a quick- sand. These several obstacles are nearly surmounted, and it is believed that the canal will be ready for na- vigation early next spring.

Lycoming Line of the West Branch Division.
The West Branch division of the Pennsylvania canal, extends from the junction of the Susquehanna and North Branch divisions at Northumberland, seventy- two miles, to the base of the Allegheny mountain, and with the Lewisburg and Bald Eagle side cuts, will give seventy-six and one-fourth miles of navigation. The first twenty-four miles of the division are called the Muncy Line, and the upper forty-seven and a half miles, the Lycoming Line. Twenty-six and a half miles are navigable; forty-five and three-fourths miles (includ- ing the two side cuts) are under contract, and four miles of towing-path along the pool of the feeder dam, are not under contract.
The Lewisburg side cut, which is two hundred perch- es long, branches from the Muncy line six miles above Northumberland. It has a dam in the West Branch, two and a half feet high, and three lift locks, overcom- ing twenty-one feet of lockage. This short but useful inlet to the canal, is completed, except a small towing- path bridge and a lock-house.
which was four miles and fifty-six perches long; but as another site for building a feeder dam presented itself, near Dunnstown, two miles and two hundred and six- teen perches below Smith's ripples, the question of a final location was left open for further examination, and only one and a half miles of the feeder, at its lower end, was put under contract.
Such was the situation of this part of the line, at the date of our last report: Further examinations were made last winter and spring, which resulted in a conviction, that the site for a feeder dam at Dunnstown was, in ma- ny respects, much more eligible than the one at Smith's ripples. At the latter place, the river is very narrow, and the dam would rest on a gravel bottom; both of which circumstances are decidedly objectionable: while at the former place, the river is wide, and a part of its bottom is solid rock. Another important consideration was, that the Dunnstown site would insure a better supply of water on the lower levels, by shortening the length of the feeder. The difficulties that had been ex- perienced by the river trade, at the chutes of the Mun- cy, Shamokin, and Nanticoke dams, made the Board anxious to have the one at the feeder dam constructed in the best manner, which could be done with entire safety to the descending river trade on the smooth solid rock at Dunnstown, but could not be done with so much certainty on the gravel bottom at Smith's ripples. These reasons, of themselves sufficient to convince the Board of the superiority of the Dunnstown site for the dam, were still further strengthened by a comparative estimate of the engineer, which proved that twenty- seven thousand nine hundred and two dollars and forty- three cents, would be saved by its adoption.
The feeder dam is eight hundred and fifty-two feet long and eleven and a half feet high above low water mark. It is built of crib work, filled with stone, and has a base of seventy-eight feet, and fifty feet of gravel- ling, thus making the entire base of the dam one hun- dred and twenty-eight feet. The chute is twelve hun- dred and eight feet long and thirty feet wide, construct- . ed in the most substantial manner. The dam and chute will both be completed by the first day of next . January.
The feeder dam affords slackwater to the vicinity of the bituminous coal region, where large preparations are now making for the transportation of that mineral upon the canal. It is estimated that thirty-three thou- sand nine hundred and eighty-one dollars, would be sufficient to construct a towing-path along the slackwa- ter of this dam. This would add four miles to the na- vigation, and be greatly to the advantage of the coal trade. This sum of thirty-three thousand nine hundred and eighty-one dollars is not included in the estimate for completing the Lycoming line.
The engineer of the line was directed to make a sur- vey and an estimate of the cost of connecting the Ly- coming line with the Bald Eagle creek, at its mouth, and also to connect the creek and the canal above the Great Island. The latter connection was found to be the cheapest, and it possessed many advantages over the former, which induced the Board to adopt the present location and put the work under contract. It is nearly completed. This side cut commences in Centre coun- ty, by a dam four and a half feet high in the Bald Ea- gle creek, where there is also a guard lock, and it ter- minates in the pool of the feeder dam, by a lock of eight feet lift. It is three miles and two hundred and eight perches long, and will be an invaluable improve- ment.
There are fourteen guard and lift locks, overcoming ninety feet of lockage, between the pool of Muncy dam and the head of the Bald Eagle side cut, and seven aqueducts, the aggregate length of their trunks is one thousand and forty-two feet.
The Lycoming Line, as originally planned in 1831, for the purpose of creating slackwater, was to have six dams in the river, embracing a large one at the head of the line located opposite the Great Island. Early in 1832, before any work was done at the dams, they were Although the country through which the Lycoming line passes, is generally favorable for the construction of the canal, yet there are many heavy and expensive suspended, and an independent canal was substituted instead of slackwater; and subsequently, a feeder was located, to be taken from the river at Smith's ripples, jobs on the line, such as dams, chutes, aqueducts, deep

excavations, rocky bluffs and high protection walls; and the scarcity and difficulty of procuring good stone for masonry has greatly increased the cost of the work.
The Lycoming line, in common with all the branch lines, has been greatly delayed for want of adequate ap- propriations, but during the past season the work on it has generally been prosecuted with diligence. A grea- ter scarcity of mechanics was experienced on this line, than on any other portion of the public works. These causes have produced the common complaints of a per- petual succession of re-lettings, at higher prices. To this cause may principally be ascribed the enhanced cost of the line: but the increase of this year's estimate over that of last year, is also partly owing to the works having been greatly strengthened, and the Bald Eagle side cut not being included in last year's estimate.
From Loyalsock feeder downwards, about fourteen miles may be finished by the first of July, and the re- mainder of the line can be completed by the first of September, 1834.

The counsel of the Commonwealth were directed by the Board, previous to the argument of the cause pend- ing in the Supreme court for damages upon the Eastern division, to offer to the respective claimants, as a com- promise, the same sums which had been offered to them by the resolution of the Board of the twenty-fifth of September, 1830. Offers of compromise were also di- rected to be made, with one exception, to the other claimants, in causes pending in the Supreme court at Lancaster and at Sunbury. The offers of the compro- mise made, in the cause pending at Sunbury, were ac- cepted; they have since been paid, and satisfaction is entered. Neither of the offers of compromise, to claim-
$165,750 30 ants upon the Eastern division, were accepted. The

Six locomotive engines for the Colum- bia railway, watering places, depots, workshops, &c. are estimated at 51,000 00
No estimate has been made of the expense of work- ing the locomotive engines.
Before closing this report, the Board wish to call the attention of the Legislature to the propriety of author- izing the construction of locks, to connect the Susque- hanna river with the canal at Ritner's, on the. Susque- hanna division, so as to afford an inlet to the coal that is carried on the Lykens Valley railway; and on the Columbia line, opposite to the works of the Codo- rus Navigation Company, that a large portion of the citizens of York county may participate more fully in the benefits of the State improvement; and also at Har- risburg, for the convenience of the citizens of Cumber- land county.
The legislative provisions in relation to the Columbia, Chicques and Marietta road, the road on sections eigh- ty-eight and eighty-nine of the North Branch division, and the abutments of the French creek feeder dam at Bemus' mill, have been severally acted on by the Board.
The examination and survey of the damages sustain- ed by the owners of private property, by the construc- tion of the tunnel through Grants' Hill, in the city of Pittsburg, has been made, as directed by the resolution of the eighth of April last, and will be the subject of a special report.
