with 7 feet cutting and runs a

removed the top earth, it is pro-

to one foot perpendicular, with
24 feet bottom for the 7 feet
canal, 17 feet bottom for the 5
feet canal, and 12 feet bottom for
the 4 feet canal. Two locks

36 chains will connect the line of canals with the river on Doxy's farm, in Gloucester. The cutting sull continues neat the level. The nature of the earth is the same as in the last mile. The descent being so great, five locks will be required in each, 5 of 9 feet lift, and 2 of seven feet lift each, the lifts and situations being the same in all. No rock excavation will occur, except in placing the foundation of the locks. At the end of the first 12 chains, our line crosses a ravine one chain wide, 6 feet 66 decimals below level; the earth lies convenient for the embankment.] A culvert 4 feet by 4 will be neCONTINUED £
