Very formidable difficulties would be encountered in attempting to cut through the marshy land it is now proposed to drown, and it would be necessary in many places to pile and plank each side of the canal. The additional expense which would thus be incurred, is ealcuJated not to fall short of £24,925. On the East side of the lock should stand a turn Bridge, soj that the Walls forming the Lock may serve as its abutments, and thus save nearly half the expense] of the Bridge if placed on any other part of the canal.

In this mile there is a rise of 60 feet 9 1-2 decimals, requiring 6 locks, namely, 4 of 10 feet lift each, one of 10 feet 50 decimals, and one of 10 feet 41 1-2 decimals-the bottom level of the canal at the head) of the rapids is 132 feet 36 1-2 decimals. The situation of each Lock is so managed, that double Locks are avoided, while a pound is reserved between each sufficiently wide for vessels to pass each other:-It is proposed from the head of the rapids across the lakes, as well as their inlets! and outlets, to allow 8 feet water in order to guard against evaporation, &c. to the extent of one foot perpendicular.
