REPORT 
 
 OF THE 
 
 CANAL COMMISSIONER 
 
 CANAL OFFICE, > 
 
 Lockport, Dec. 2, 1844. $ 
 To his Excellency, THOMAS FORD, 
 
 Governor of the State of Illinois: 
 
 SIR: Pursuant to the law of the last session of the Legislature, the 
 Commissioner of the Illinois and Michigan canal has the honor to sub- 
 mit the following 
 
 ANNUAL REPORT. 
 
 Immediately after the adjournment of the last Legislature, the under- 
 signed, acting Canal Commissioner, repaired to Lockport, and in obedi- 
 ence to the provisions of "An act to reduce the number of officers and 
 agents on the Illinois and Michigan canal," approved March 2, 1843, he 
 discharged all the officers and agents in the employ of the State, and con- 
 nected with the canal, except the Secretary, who was continued in office 
 by that law. And immediately thereafter, according to the provisions 
 of said act, appointed William Gooding, Engineer, and Isaac Cook, 
 Agent to protect the timber on canal lands. The Engineer having dis- 
 charged all the duties required under his appointment, resigned, which 
 resignation took place on the first instant. 
 
 A very small amount of work has been done on said canal since the 
 last annual report, made December, 1842. At the close of the last ses- 
 sion of the Legislature, a few contractors were at work under contracts 
 between Dresden and Marseilles, entered into previous to the passage of 
 "An act for the completion of the Illinois and Michigan canal, and for 
 the payment of the public debt," approved February 21, 1843. These 
 contractors were notified of the passage of said act, and directed to sus- 
 pend work preparatory to a settlement under and according to the pro- 
 visions of the above recited law; which order was immediately complied 
 With, and the work was entirely suspended. 
 
 Some time in June, 1843. the Board of appraisers, appointed by your 
 Excellency, reached Lockport and immediately organized; and all the 
 contractors except those on sections 16 and 17 the river channel at 
 
(20) 4 
 
 Sauganaskee swamp, and lock 15, at the western terminus of the canal, 
 came forward and submitted their claims for adjustment. These contrac- 
 tors were prevented from presenting and prosecuting their several claims 
 before said Board, by causes which were not removed untill after its ad- 
 journment. The contractor on sections 54 and 55, having submitted his 
 claim for damages, immediately thereafter, made application to withdraw 
 the same, which was not permitted by said Board of appraisers, upon 
 which the said contractor commenced suit against the canal Board, which 
 is still pending in the Will county circuit court; an award of damages 
 was, however, made by said appraisers upon the claim submitted. Con- 
 tractors on the above sections 16 and 17 the river channel at the Sauga- 
 naskee swamp, and lock 15, are, as 1 am informed, now willing to go into 
 an adjustment of their several claims. 
 
 From the decisions of said Board of appraisers, a few appeals were 
 taken to the circuit courts of the counties of La Salle, Grundy, Will and 
 Cook. These appeals have all been disposed of in said courts except 
 three, without any increase of damages against the State, save the one 
 embracing the culvert across Nettle creek, in which case the damages 
 were increased to one hundred and fifty dollars. The remaining three 
 cases will in all probability be arranged without any increase of damages 
 against the State. 
 
 Under the provisions of said act, it became the duty cf the Commis- 
 sioner having charge of the affairs of the canal, to sell the lands and town 
 lots, which were reserved by the provisions of that law, and which had 
 been relinquished or forfeited by the purchaser?. In pursuance of said 
 law, William B. Egan, Lewis Kerchival and Bennett Allen, were ap'- 
 pointed by Judge Young, to appraise said lands and town lots in the coun- 
 ties of Cook, Will and Grundy: and George H. Norris, Seth T. Farwell 
 and B. F. Fridley were appointed by Judge Robinson, to appraise said 
 lands and town lots in the county of La Salle. 
 
 After the appraisements were made, tho said lands and town lots were 
 advertised according to law, and offered at public sale, commencing at 
 Chicago on the 3d day of October, 1843, and ending at La Salle on the 
 18th of ihc same month. The terms of sale prescribed for timber lands, 
 were one-fourth of the purchase money in hand paid, and the remainder 
 in three equal annual payments, with interest at the rate of six per cent, 
 per annum payable in advance; and for prairie land and town lots, one- 
 tenth of the purchase money to be paid at the time of sale, the remainder 
 payable at the expiration of twenty years, bearing an interest of six per 
 cent., payable annually. 
 
 All the lands and town lots, subject to sale under the provisions of said 
 act were offered, with the exception of two fractional quarter sections of 
 land situated on the Kankakee river. In changing the present plan of 
 the canal, said river would necessarily be mr.de use of as a feeder, and 
 which would in all probability from the surveys run, be taken out of the 
 same at a point on the river where this land is located. The erection of 
 a dam across the, river would become necessary, by which a valuable 
 water power would be created at that point; and by which great manu- 
 facturing facilities would be afforded. In view of the importance of the 
 State being able to control the water power, and the enhanced value of 
 
(21) 
 
 the lands on which the same may be created; it was deemed proper to 
 withhold said lands from sale at that time. All of said lands and town 
 lots offered, were sold, except a few lots in the original town of Ottawa 
 on the south side of the Illinois river, and three Jots in the town of La 
 Salle. 
 
 Paper marked (B) hereto annexed exhibits the number of each lot and 
 block the valuation, and the amount sold for; also the description of the 
 lands the valuation thereof, and the amount sold for. The sales thus 
 made, in the aggregate amount to the sum of $297,252 25. 
 
 The amount of bills receivable now on hand, derived from the sales of 
 every description of canal property, amount to the sum of $254,6'25 00. 
 
 There has been received into the Treasury from the sales of canal lands, 
 town lots, timber, &c., since the commencement of the canal in 1836, up 
 to the first of November, 1844, the sum of $932,407 91.

 three last quarters of 1843, and all of 1844.

 The Secretary's report herewith submitted, (marked A.) exhibits the 
 different kinds of scrip and indebtedness issued by the Board the amount 
 now in circulation the various expenditures classed under their appropri- 
 ate heads, including contingent disbursements the amount of interest 
 paid on balances due the contractors, under the provisions of an act. of 
 the last session of the Legislature, entitled "An act to provide for the al- 
 lowance and payment ol interest, and money due the contractors on the 
 Illinois and Michigan canal," approved March 3, 1843 the number of 
 agents in the employ of the State since the last annual report, their com- 
 pensation and the time they left the service, and all other business done 
 through that office. 
 
 The entire amount of payments upon the canal from its commence- 
 ment in the spring of 183(3, up to the first of November, 1844, is $5,039,-

 A considerable amount of the contingencies exhibited above, were ex- 
 pended for the benefit of the land and other canal property, which has 
 been fully explained in former reports of the Board. 
 
 The Secretary's report, above alluded to, gives every item, and shows 
 the amount thus expended to be the sum of $121,957 58, which sum 
 deducted from the gross amount of contingent expenses, leaves the true 
 amount of contingencies for superintendance at the sum of $242,6o2 93.

 The chief Engineer in his report (marked C,) and herewith submitted, 
 gives a very full and satisfactory exposition of his department. He ex- 
 hibits the entire amount of work treasured on the canal, from the com- 
 mencement of operations in the spring of 1836, p to the first of Decem- 
 ber, 1844; with a tabular statement accompanying the report, showing 
 the amount of work estimated upon each section and structure, with the 
 various items estimated, and the price paid for each; also an estimate of 
 the cost of the several proposed changes of the canal, and makes a num- 
 ber of suggestions, which are submitted as worthy of consideration. 
 
 The estimates of the cost of the several proposed plans of the canal as 
 submitted in his report, are as follows, viz: 
 
 1st, or original plan, - - - - $2,353,772 96 
 
 2nd do .... 1,485,095 86 
 
 3rd do - - '-;< 1,772,035 53

 5th do .... 1,688,640 08 
 
 6th do - - 1,679,846 07 
 
 The Commissioner deems it unnecessary on this occasion to express 
 
 an opinion, in reference to the above proposed plans, inasmuch as they 
 
 are all considered practicable; the whole matter is, therefore, submitted 
 
 for the purpose of enabling the Legislature to adopt that plan, it may in 
 
 its wisdom deem best for the interests of the State. 
 
 in conclusion I would say, that on the arrival of Gov. Davis and Capt. 
 Swift, on the line of canal in the fall of 1843, the agents of the foreign 
 bond-holders; they called upon me, through the Hon. Michael Ryan, for 
 
9 (25) 
 
 information touching the cost of construction and expendicures, and of 
 the canal debt. The amount and description of the unsold lands with 
 their value, according to the different classifications. The estimates for 
 completing the canal upon the various plans submitted in the Engineer's 
 report together with a demand upon me to survey a rout of thirty-three 
 miles, from Aurora on Fox river, to the summit level of the canal, in order 
 to test the practicability of making said river a feeder; which survey 
 required the services of a full corps of engineers. A detailed report of 
 which was furnished said agents together with copies of all the papers 
 and accounts which they deemed necessary to lay before the foreign 
 bond-holders, for their information. 
 
 The labor and expense created by this call upon me, can only be fully 
 comprehended by reference to the voluminous copies which I retained, 
 and which I have now in my possession subject to inspection, if a call 
 shall be made upon me. In addition to all this, I furnished said agents 
 with a map embracing the entire length of the canal, exhibiting the 
 lands sold and unsold, for five miles on each side of said canal, divided 
 into sections and quarter sections, half quarter sections and quarter quar- 
 ter sections, showing upon each tract sold, the amount the same sold for. 
 And also a map of each of the towns laid out upon canal lands, desig- 
 nating the lots sold. 
 
 The time consumed, and the number of persons employed, necessary 
 to enable me to give all this required information, has necessarily con- 
 tributed to the contingent expenses for the last two years, 
 
 Should not the foregoing report and accompanying documents contain 
 all the information desired, any further statements will be cheerfully giv- 
 en at any time. 
 
 All of which is respectfully submitted.

 A. 
 SECRETARY'S REPORT 
 
 To Ihe Acting Commissioner 
 
 of the Illinois and Michigan Canal: 
 
 The following statement will present a general view of the business 
 transactions of my department of the canal office during the two past 
 years, 
 
 During the year 1839, for the want of funds to pay for work as fast as 
 it was done, checks upon the Bank, payable ninety days afterdate, were 
 issued, at two different times. My last report, in the fall of 1842, showed 
 that these checks had all been redeemed, except the sum of $3*23, and 
 that $ 123, belonging to the contingent fund, was left in the Bank for their 
 redemption. Since that report, $7 only have been presented for pay- 
 ment. These were redeemed, and the balance of funds for their redemp- 
 tion withdrawn from the Bank. This leaves still charged to circulation, 
 (of this kind of currency,) the sum of $316 which being in small checks 
 it is presumed have been mostly or all lost or destroyed. 
 
 Of the small at-sight checks, to-wit: $1, $2 50 and $5, issued in the 
 fall of 1840, and spring of 1841, and for the redemption of which pro- 
 vision was made by a deposit in Bank, it was stated in the last report 
 that there remained in circulation the sum of $17,523; except what 
 might have been redeemed at the principal Bank. Since that time, there 
 has been received at this office, from the principal Bank, the sum of 
 $10,344 50. Leaving still in circulation $7,178 50 except what has 
 been redeemed by the Bank, since April 28, 1843, the date of the last 
 remittance. 
 
 The amount of checks, to-wit: $409,448 70, issued March 1st, 1840. 
 under an act of the Legislature, bearing interest at six per cent., has been 
 reduced by redemption at the Bank, and receiving them in this office in 
 payment for lands, &c., to the sum of $319,885 04; which balance is 
 still charged to circulation. 
 
 Contractors accepted orders, mentioned in the last report, remain un- 
 paid to the amount of $27,921 64. These were a means of payment to 
 contractors, adopted in the spring of 1841, and by which payments were 
 made for work done before that time, and during the whole of that year, 
 and are here known by the name of "State indebtedness." 
 
 That kind of acknowledgment of debt, called, in my last report, "ca- 
 nal indebtedness," has continued to be the principal currency of this 
 office during the two last years; both in paying contractors and receiving 
 payment for lands, lots, &c. From the commencement of the use of this 
 
11 (27) 
 
 kind of currency, to this time, there have been issued the amounts, and 
 of the denominations following to wit: 
 
 8,090 1 00 equal to $8,090 00 
 
 2,400 2 50 " " 6,000 00 
 
 2,400 5 00 " " 12,000 00

 5,950 100 00 595,000 00 
 
 $675,000 00 
 
 Of this sum, - - MU-. - - - 58,12930, 
 
 remains in the hands of the Acting Commissioner; the 
 balance of a fund for payment to contractors, making 
 the amount charged to circulation, "* '' - $616,87070 
 
 Of this last amount there has been redeemed by payments 
 into the Treasurer's office, for lands, lots, &c., the sum of, 315,192 00 
 
 Leaving a balance charged to circulation of, - - $301.67870 
 
 There is a third species of indebtedness, which is current in transact- 
 ingthe business of this office, to-wit: "Governor's scrip," (socalled); that 
 issued by that officer under authority of the law of the last session of the 
 Legislature, to pay contractors' damages upon the relinquishmcnt of their 
 contracts. This has been received in payment for lands, lots, &c., (in- 
 cluding the sum of $78 40 allowed thereon for interest,) to the amount 
 of $3,724 64. As the circulation and redemption accounts, of all the 
 various kinds of canal currency, checks, scrip, and indebtedness, are 
 kept in the Secretary's office, the Governor's scrip also has been cancel- 
 led, passed over by the Acting Commissioner, (acting as Treasurer,) to the 
 same office; where the face of said scrip, (exclusive of interest.) is charged 
 to redemption account, (of that particular kind of currency,) and packed 
 and sealed up as other redeemed paper, the same being $3,724 64. 
 
 There has been no new contracts made, or work done upon the canal, 
 during the two past years; but considerable payments made for work 
 heretofore done, and payment delayed for want of means. 
 
 Of the tabular statements accompanying this, paper No. 1, exhibits 
 the amounts paid for each year, and the parts of the line upon which the 
 same has been done. 
 
 For construction, - - t - $ 244,524 36 
 
 For contingencies, - - iJl.jo - - 52,359 38 
 
 Total, *:i - .... $296,883 74 
 
 In former reports it has been stated, as to the manner of keeping the 
 accounts in this office, that all sums paid for work upon the canal, and 
 those alone, are charged to the respective sections or jobs, and at regular 
 periods these accounts are carried to construction, as a general account 
 for all payments for work; and that all other payments are carried to. the 
 head of contingencies. But during the twolast years a claim for interest 
 upon balances due contractors has arisen under an act of the last session 
 of the Legislature. This, though not strictly for work, is properly 
 
(28) 12 
 
 chargeable, and has been charged to the respective jobs, and is conse- 
 quently carried to the general account of construction, and, in paper No. 
 1, is included In the amount of payments to contractors. The said in- 
 terest was paid on the several divisions as follows: 
 
 On ihe Summit Division, - - ,-0( - '14,15921 
 
 " Middle - . . . ,; 3,753 10 
 
 " Western " * -<* 1,727 56 
 
 Total, - .- - ,< (* $19,639 87 
 
 I would here remark that whenever it is made known to this office, 
 what sums have been paid to contractors for damages upon relinquishing 
 their contracts, the several amounts will be charged to the respective 
 jobs, in order that their entire cost, as well as that of the whole work, 
 may be readily shown. 
 
 It ha? heretofore been remarked that large sums which are carried to 
 the account of contingencies, do not properly belong thereto, as the term 
 is generally understood. The same may be repeated of the contingent 
 account of the two last years, as exhibited in paper No. 1. These irregu- 
 lar, or extraordinary contingent accounts of these years amount to the 
 sum of, - - - . - ' $19,293 39 
 
 In this amount is included checks issued for the payment 
 of contractors, and, after the fund for their redemption 
 was exhausted, redeemed out of the contingent fund, 
 and cancelled and charged t> incidentals, because they 
 could be charged no where else, ($'672 56.) 
 There has also been paid and included in the said contin- 
 gent account for officers and agents' services, previous to 
 these years, the sum of - - - $9,231 00 
 
 Also, accounts made before that time, then standing open, 
 
 and since transferred to incidentals, - - ^ $1.678 50 
 
 In ali, - - $30,202 89 
 
 This sum deducted from the contingent account leaves 
 
 the sum of - - - $22,15649 
 
 In this last sum is included an expenditure of about fifteen hundred 
 dollars, occasioned by an examination made the last winter by Messrs. 
 Davis and Swift. 
 
 Paper No. 2, an account of the Secretary with the contingent fund, 
 shows that the two years commenced with the sum of $111,464 03, in 
 the Secretary's hands belonging to the fund, and ended with the sum of 
 $66,646 03. 
 
 These large sums in this fund are mostly occasioned by retaining from 
 contnictors' estimates, sums sufficient to redeem their orders, mentioned 
 in the former part of this report. 
 
 There are a large number of accounts upon the Secretary's books, with 
 balances as debits, or credits, to the said fund; nearly all of which are 
 
 
13 
 
 (29) 
 
 kept open on account of the transactions with the contractors by means 
 of the said orders. The amount of the said balances stand as follows: 
 
 Debits, - - $13,378 84 
 
 Credits, ...... 22,504 84 
 
 Paper No. 3, a list of the several jobs upon which any thing remains 
 due, shows an amount still due contractors for work done upon the canal 
 of $75,963 54, and interest, under the law of last session, up to Dec. 1, 
 1844, of $10,11)8 86. 
 
 Some of the dues therein set forth, to- wit: on sections 59, 60. and 75, have 
 in fact been mostly paid, b}' the acceptance and payment of their orders; 
 and constitute the greatest part of the debits above mentioned, as stand- 
 ing upon the Secretary's accounts of the contingent fund. 
 
 Of the allowances of damages occasioned Ly the construction of the 
 canal across private property, there remains unpaid the sum of $17,500 40. 
 Interest thereon, up to Dec. 1, 1844, $6,027 56. 
 
 From the foregoing the following condensed account is made. 
 The amount in the hands of the Acting Commissioner for 
 
 the payment of contractors, - - $58,130 30 
 
 The amount belonging to the contingent fund in the hands 
 
 of the Secretary, - 66,646 03

 retary's books, - - '>..'

 In the last report, the aggregate account of all the articles 
 purchased for the use of the contractors stood with a 
 balance in favor of the commissioners of, 
 
 Since that time there have been a few articles of canal 
 stores sold for, - * - - - # 
 
 And an item of expense paid for receiving, storing, and de- 
 livering the same of, -

 It will be observed, that amojjg contingencies there is an item of 
 $1,199 35 charged to the Sauganaskec road. This is the amount of a 
 judgment, (with the interest,) recovered against the Commissioners under 
 a contract made in the fall of the year 1836.

 Paper No. 4, is a list of the officers and agents in the employment of 
 the Board, any part of the two last years; the nature of their services 
 and their compensation. 
 
 There has beecn no sale of canal property during these years, except 
 the one of forfeited lands and town lots, under the law of the last Legis- 
 lature. This took place in October, 1843, and the result will particular- 
 ly appear from a list of the lands and lots sold from the Treasurer's office. 
 The whole payment upon the canal, from the commencement of oper- 
 ations thereon, in the spring of 1836, to the present time, is 5,039,248 04

 In the last report mention was made of a large amount of extraordina- 
 ry contingent accounts, and a list given of their several sums, and the 
 heads under which they had been charged; and a similar remark has al- 
 ready been made of the contingencies of the two last years. A list of 
 such accounts, including the statements for both reportsstands thus:

 Together making the sum of - - $121,95788 
 
 Which sum, deducted from the total amount of contingencies charged 
 a? above stated, leaves the amount of contingencies proper $242,652 93. 
 
 The exact uniformity, which for some years prevailed between the 
 estimates in the Engineer's office, and the payments, with the per cent, 
 retained in the Secretary's office, no longer exists. This has been occa- 
 
15 (31) 
 
 sioned by the delay of payment of estimates. The payment of interest 
 on balances due contractors under the law of the last session of the Leg- 
 islature, and in a few cases of payments by arrangement between the 
 Commissioners and contractors, without the usual estimate in the Engi- 
 neer's office.

 REPORT OF CHIEF ENGINEER. 
 
 CANAL OFFICE, 
 Lockporl, December 1, 1844. 
 
 To Gen. J. FRY, 
 
 Commissioner of the Illinois and Michigan Canal: 
 
 SIR: My official connection with the canal having ceased, I beg leave 
 to present the present condition of the work in the following 
 
 REPORT: 
 
 A very small amount of labor has been performed upon the canal since 
 the date of my last annual report, (dated December 1st, 1842, and the 
 seventh since the commencement of operations,) and the condition of the 
 work consequently remains nearly the same as at that period. The only 
 operations have been upon the "newlettings," or that part of the line be- 
 tween Dresden and Marseilles, and even here nothing has been done 
 since early in the spring of 1843. The few contractors who, up to that 
 time were still employed, were then notified to suspend their work, and 
 all operations were accordingly suspended. 
 
 The increase in the aggregate estimates of the amount of work done 
 upon the canal, over the amount given in my last report, not only in- 
 cludes the work performed since that time, but also the balances, which, 
 on a final and more particular estimate have been found to be due con- 
 tractors for work previously performed, as weH as several items not before 
 embraced, now taken from the books' of the Secretary. In some in- 
 stances, however, the jobs have been found over-estimated, and the ne- 
 cessary deductions made upon a final settlement. 
 
 The aggregate amount of work performed since the commencement of 
 the canal is $4,737,250 81, which is an increase of $37,758 78 over 
 the amount of estimates returned in my last report. 
 
 This work has been performed or estimated as follows, to-wit:

 This amount ($4,737.250 81,) shows the value of the work performed, 
 estimated according to the terms of the contracts or agreements entered 
 into between the contractors and Commissioners, the price paid for each 
 
(44) 23 
 
 item having been governed by its value with reference to the whole con~ 
 tract, and not in all cases by the specific price of the item. 
 
 In pursuance of this principle, *he excavation in d^ep cutting was esti- 
 mated at the full price only when completed to bottom, and in a rateable 
 proportion for the excavation nearer the surface. Or, for example, where 
 the price was thirty-five cents per cubic yard for the whole excavation 
 from surface to bottom, and twenty-five cents per yard was estimated for 
 that which was within four or five feet of the surface, it was intended 
 that the twenty-five cents for the surface work, should afford as large a 
 profit in proportion to the amount, ss the full price, or thirty-five cents 
 would have done had the whole excavation to bottom been fully completed. 
 
 That the contractors did not feel themselves injured by this mode of 
 estimating, is obvious, from the fact that they would otherwise have com- 
 pleted their work to bottom as t'dey progressed, and thus have obtained 
 the full contract price per yard. - But on the contrary, a large part of the 
 unfinished sections upon the Summit division, and especially upon the 
 earth work, have not been excavated to the full depth, and consequently 
 a large amount of scaleage, (by which is meant the difference between the 
 contract and estimated prices,) had been retained to secure the comple- 
 tion of the contracts. 
 
 It will be seen by the foregoing explanation that the scaleage was not 
 money which had been earned by the contractors. They had performed 
 no labor which was an equivalent for it, arid, as it was not legally or 
 equitably due, it will readily be perceived that it could not be paid to 
 the contractors without an express law for that purpose. 
 
 The Legislature of this State at its last session passed a law for a final 
 settlement with all contractors upon the Illinois and Michigan canal. By 
 this law they were to receive payment for their machinery, actual dama- 
 ges for depriving them of their contracts, per centage zindscaleage. They 
 were not, however, to receive any thing for "prospective damages, or 
 profits which they might have made by completing their work." 
 
 This scaleage was probably allowed as an offsett for prospective profits, 
 and contractors may not, perhaps, in the aggregate receive any more, if 
 as much as the damages to which they are justly entitled for depriving 
 them of their contracts. But the law operates very unequally. 
 
 The contractor who has excavated 50,000 cubic yards from the surface 
 of his work at a cost not exceeding twenty cents per yard, or $10,UOO 
 for the whole, is, by this law, to receive as much money as the contrac- 
 tor who has excavated 50,000 cubic yards, completing the work from top 
 to bottom as he progressed, at a cost of 30 cents per yard, or $15,000. 
 Thus the contractor who operates superficially receives a bonus of 
 
 Many of those who are unacquainted with the system upon which the 
 business of the canal has been conducted, seem to have confounded scale- 
 age with per centage. The former term has been explained the latter 
 means a certain per centum retained by the commissioners, (in accord- 
 ance with existing contracts,) from the estimates of the Engineer. Those 
 estimates, as before expla : ned, are designed to represent the value per 
 contract of the work performed. 
 
 The subject of scaleage and per centage is here alluded to, and briefly 
 explained, in order to correct the false impressions which still prevail in 
 
29 (45) 
 
 relation to it. The per centage, as has been seen, constitutes a part of 
 the estimates, and since the passage of the law authorizing the same, has 
 been paid by the Commissioner to the contractors. The scaleagc con- 
 stitutes an important part of the awards of the Board of appraisers. 
 
 In making up the total cost of construction some items of expense are 
 included which are obtained from the-books of the Secretary to the Board 
 of Commissioners that have not been before embraced in my reports. 
 The items, (consisting of the repairs aod additional work upon the Fox 
 river feeder dam, guard lock, and feeder, and of the cement houses.) con- 
 siitute a necessary part of the expense of the canal; but as the work was 
 of such a nature as to render it difficult for the Engineer to determine its 
 value, the bills of ccst were paid by the Commissioners without the regu- 
 larly certified estimates of the Engineer, and the amounts consequently 
 do not appear upon the books of my office. 
 
 The cost of superintendence, and the contingent expenses properly 
 chargeable to the account of construction, is also taken from the books 
 of the Secretary.

 and contingencies, - $4,737,25^ 81

 In my last annual report, I submitted several approximate estimates of 
 the cost of completing the canal upon different plans. No further data 
 having been obtained, (except in relation to a feeder from Fox river to 
 the Summit,) and the Legislature having authorized the subscribers to the 
 new loan to adopt any plan for the completion of the work that ihey 
 may deem proper, which will not diminish its capacity for transportion, 
 it would be improper for me at this time to present any further views up- 
 on this subject. But it is proper again to state, as I have done before, 
 that whatever plan may be adopted, the longer the time before the work 
 is commenced and completed, the greater will be the cost. Some of the 
 materials prepared for structures, and paid for by the State, such as tim- 
 ber, plank, stone, cement, and sand, have already disappeared, and as has 
 been ascertained in some instances, appropriated to individual purposes. 
 In most cases, however, it is difficult or impossible to detect those who 
 have been concerned in these appropriations, and the materials thus taken 
 will be nearly a total loss. Much injury also to the materials which are 
 still on the ground has been sustained, and further loss must, of course, 
 be anticipated unless they are speedily used. 
 
 It is now five or six years since some of the sections of the canal were 
 completed, and these, as well as many jobs which have been more rs- 
 cehtly finished, will require considerable rep lirs before the canal is filled 
 and open for navigation. There have been ninety-seven sections comple- 
 ted upon the main line and Fox river feeder, making an aggregate length 
 of over fifty miles. These sections include the greater part of the most 
 expensive work to keep in repair which will be found on the line. Near- 
 ly all the heavy, and exposed embankments have been constructed, and 
 upon these generally will the principal repairs be required. The settling, 
 however, and washing of the banks and filling in of the bottom, have 
 
(46) 30 
 
 been no greater than might reasonably have been anticipated, but unless 
 something is done to place the work in a more favorable condition soon, 
 the expense of repairs will be greatly augmented. 
 
 The structures which have been completed, (with the exception of the 
 Pecumsagan dam which has been nearly destroyed by a flood,) have not, 
 as yet, sustained any very material injury since they were finished. In 
 a few cases, (but the amount in the aggregate is not great,) there has 
 been some embankment washed away. Some of the stone used have 
 been partially effected by the action of frost, but such as have been thus 
 effected seem to have been unsound when placed in the work. All the 
 quarries from which stone to any extent has been taken for the construc- 
 tion of structures upon the canal, were opened for this purpose, and in 
 some few instances a material was used in the earliest stages of the work, 
 which would not afterwards have been introduced, as it was ascertained 
 that a better might have been obtained. 
 
 But when it is considered that no satisfactory tests had been made of 
 the materials employed before it became necessary to use them in build- 
 ing the work, it may be considered fortunate indeed that no greater loss 
 has been the result. In fact, it is believed, that in this respect the work 
 here will compare favorably with any other in the country. 
 
 The foundations of nearly all the structures are excellent except that 
 of Lock No. 14, which is decidedly bad, and has settled in such a manner 
 as to injure the walls at the head of the Lock. A part of the breast 
 wall will have to be taken up and relaid, and the hollow-quoins, particu- 
 larly for the upper gates, will require considerable trimming to restore 
 them again to a perpendicular. 
 
 This lock does not seem to have settled much, if any, for the last two 
 or three years, nor is it supposed that it will settle much more. 
 
 The cement which was used in the construction of masonry has, in 
 most instances, proved as good as was anticipated, and in some is now 
 nearly as hard as the stone of which the structures are composed. In 
 some* few instances, however, from the inferiority of the sand, and proba- 
 bly from the improper proportions of sand and cement used, it has not 
 set as well as was desirable. 
 
 There isstillalarge quantity of cement in the houses provided by the 
 State for its storage, which was manufactured some time previous to the 
 entire suspension of operations upon the canal. A large part of it is still 
 uninjured, but some, and particularly that which has been kept in the 
 smaller cement houses near the structures where it was to be used, is dam- 
 aged and will be unfit for use. 
 
 It was mentioned in my last report that but little wood work, had 
 up to that time, been used in any part of canal construction, and none 
 has been used since. The most of the timber and plank in foundations is 
 secured from decay by being constantly covered with water, and a part 
 of the wooden culverts are preserved in the same manner, but the timber 
 and plank delivered and not placed in the work will much of it be lost. 
 A particular description of the canal and the various structures upon 
 it, could be drawn from the reports which have hitherto been made, but 
 it may not be improper at this time to briefly recapitulate some of the 
 former statements. 
 
31 (4?) 
 
 The length of the canal from Chicago river toils western termination, 
 is 96.40 miles; and of that portion of the river which is provided with a 
 tow-path, and which terminates on the south side of Randolph street in 
 the city of Chicago, 4.1! miles. The distance from the south line of 
 Randolph street to the pier is 84.100 of a mile; making the whole dis- 
 tance from the commencement of the south pier of the harbor in Chica- 
 go to the termination of the canal at the Illinois river, 101.35 miles. 
 
 The depth of water in the canal is to be not less than six feet, and the 
 surface width sixty feet. The bottom width varies in the different kinds 
 of excavation, but is no where less than thirty-six feet.* 
 
 The number of lift locks upon the canal is fifteen, and the whole 
 amount of lockage 139.70 feet. There is also one guard lock at Juliet, 
 and a lift lock upon the Ottawa side cut near the main line. 
 
 These locks arc all" of the same length and width, being 110 feet long 
 between the gates, and eighteen feet wide; and all constructed or to be 
 constructed of cut stone masonry. 
 
 The number of acqueducts upon the canal according to the present 
 arrangement is three, besides the Pecumsagan, which is a combination of 
 an acqueduct and dam. The abutments and piers (except fcr the Pe- 
 cumsagan,) are ef cut stone masonry. The trunks or superstructuies are 
 to be of wood. 
 
 The number of dams on the canal is five including that in connection 
 with the Pecumsagan acqueduct. 
 
 Dams No. 1 and 2 at Juliet, which are the most important ones, are of 
 cut stone. The first will be two hundred and fifty-six feet long and be 
 raised sixteen feet above the bed of the river; and the second (which is 
 completed,) is one hundred and ninety feet long and fourteen feet high 
 above the foundation, which, for a part of its length, is. below the bed of 
 the river. 
 
 There will be a dam across Rock creek on section No. 88, composed 
 of timber and rough stone, and one across the Du Page river on section 
 No. 98 built of similar materials. 
 
 The dam across the Pecumsagan is to be built entirely of rough stone. 
 
 The number of stone culverts upon the canal is but ten, a very small 
 number for the length of line. 
 
 Each culvert is one hundred and three feet long exclusive of wings. 
 All the face stone in spandrel, parapet and wing-walls are cut, except for 
 the culvert on section No. 108, where the ring stone and coping only are 
 cut, the rest of the face being built of well hammered masonry. For 
 the larger class of culverts the sheeting is all cut. 
 
 The whole number of wooden culverts is thirteen, and they are built 
 where they will be entirely submerged. 
 
 The number of waste weirs estimated is seven, none of which are en- 
 tirely completed. 
 
 The number of road and farm bridges to be built over the canal is 
 twenty-four. These will all but two be used as road bridges. Their 
 combined length will be 1,955 feet. 
 
 The abutments of the bridges have been estimated of hammer-dressed 
 stone masonry. 
 
 See explanation in relation to the width from Chicago river to section fifteen should the 
 depth be increased. 
 
(48) 32 
 
 " Besides these farm and road bridges over the canal, one road bridge has 
 been estimated across the artificial channel for the Des Plains river oppo- 
 site the mouth of the Sauganaskee swamp; one across the same river at 
 dam No. 1, in Juliet; and one across the Du Page river where the canal 
 crosses it upon section No. 98. The aggregate length of these three 
 bridges is six hundred and seventy feet. There will also be several tow- 
 path bridges, the aggregate length of which will be seven hundred and ten 
 feet. None of the bridges have yet been commenced. 
 
 This statement in relation to structures upon the canal is made at this 
 time to show, to some extent, the data upon which estimates of cost have 
 been made for there may hereafter be changes made, not only in the 
 character of the work to be built, but in the number of some kinds of 
 structures, as bridges, waste weirs, and culverts. 
 
 In the estimates of cost which have already been made, all the struc- 
 tures have been introduced which the officers on the work deemed ne- 
 cessary, and it has not been intended to make any part of the work any 
 more expensive than the true interests of the State required. 
 
 The number of bridges which was included in the last estimates of 
 costs submitted, was much greater than in the earlier estimates made, and 
 all, it is believed, that would at present be required. But as the country 
 becomes more settled and cultivated, it may be found necessary or expe- 
 dient to increase the number. Further observation by other officers, 
 may also lead to the conclusion that some modification of the plans in 
 relation to other structures proposed may be made with advantage, and 
 such change may either increase or diminish the cost. 
 
 In my last annual report, (Dec. 1842,)! considered at length the im- 
 poitant subject of the demand for water to supply navigation on the Illi- 
 nois and Michigan canal, and the supply which might be drawn from 
 other sources than the lake should the hi^h level be adopted for the 
 completion of the canal, instead of the "Deep Cut.*' Since then an 
 examination has been made for a feeder from Auiora, on Fox river, to the 
 Summit division of the canal, and the result proved highly favorable. 
 This renders it certain beyond a doubt that an adequate supply of water 
 can be provided for the canal without drawing it from lake Michigan. 
 
 The feeder alluded to, if constructed, will be introduced into the main 
 canal about four miles above Lockport at the same point as the Du Page 
 feeder, with which it will be identical from the Du Page river to the 
 junction with the mainline of canal. 
 
 A hasty survey of this feeder was made at the request of Governor 
 Davis and Capt. Swift, the agents of the bond holders, to give them more 
 certain data for their report, than could otherwise be obtained. 
 
 They requested of me estimates of the cost of completing the canal 
 upon the various plans which had been suggested, and these estimates, of 
 course, embraced the cost of all the contemplated feeders. But it must 
 be understood that none of these routes for feeders had been examined 
 with sufficient care to determine their final location, or to afford data for 
 a very careful estimate of the expense. 
 
 The estimates made and submitted were as close an approximation to 
 the cost as could be furnished from the data in my possession, and were 
 sufficiently accurate to afford a fair comparison of the different plans. 
 Variations in the routes of the feeders, and from the plans upon which 
 
33 (49) 
 
 estimates have been made, may either increase or diminish the cost; but 
 it is not probable that the expense will be much increased by any chan- 
 ges which will be likely to be made. If the expense be at all increased, 
 it will probably be in consequence of more difficult excavation than is 
 now anticipated. 
 
 In the main line, it is presumed, that no material changes will be made, 
 and the nature of the work throughout is pretty well ascertained. No 
 considerable alteration can, in fact, be adopted at this advanced stage of 
 the work which would not destroy that uniformity in the character of 
 construction which it has hitherto been deemed important to preserve. 
 The company cannot, in accordance with the law, diminish the capacity 
 of the canal, and it is presumed will not desire to render the work in any 
 respect inferior to the original design. 
 
 The estimates of the cost of completing the canal are now given as they 
 were submitted to Governor Davis and Capt. Swift whose very elaborate 
 and valuable report contains a vast amount of exceedingly useful and 
 interesting information in relation to the cost of completion, the various 
 plans proposed, and other matters connected with the subject of the ca- 
 nftl ?.nd canal property. 
 
 The amount of work performed is something greater than it was esti- 
 mated when Gov. Davis and Capt. Swift were here, as there were at that 
 time several unsettled accounts which have since been closed, and have, 
 in the aggregate, added somewhat to the cost of the work performed. 
 The statement marked A, accompanying this report exhibits the various 
 items of work which make up the aggregate of expense from the com- 
 msncement of operations in 1830, to the final suspension in 1843, and the 
 abstracts appended thereto show the cost of the respective divisions and 
 by whom the work was done. 
 
 In estimating the cost of completing the canal upon the original plan 
 of the "deep cut," an additional depth of excavation has been estimated 
 from section No. 1, to section No. 15, inclusive. The declivity given for 
 this distance originally was 80.100 of a foot. In the estimate now sub- 
 mitted this declivity is taken away, making the depth of excavation at 
 Chicago river 80.100 more than was first designed. This increases thq 
 average depth of cutting for this distance 40.100 of a foot. The estimate 
 is, however, made, merely to increase the depth without changing the 
 slopes of the old banks, so that the width at Chicago river, instead of be- 
 ing thirty-six feet at bottom as before, will be contracted to 32.8 feet. 
 
 The estimated cost of completing the canal on the different plans pro- 
 posed is as follows, to- wit: 
 
 1st. The deep cut, or original plan with the trifling alteration before 
 v alluded to, $2,359,772 90. 
 
 2d. The Summit, elevated eight feet at Chicago river above the pre- 
 sent level, and the waters of the Calumet, Du Page and Des Plains, in- 
 troduced upon the Summit, and the Kankakee upon the Juliet level, 
 $1,485,095 86. 
 
 3d. The same plan as the 3d with the addition of a feeder from Fox 
 river at Aurora to the Summit will cost $1,772,035 53. 
 
 4th. Same plan as the third, except the Kankakee feeder is (o be in- 
 troduced upon the Dresden, instead of the Juliet level, will cost 
 31.733,240 52. 
 4 
 
(50) 34 
 
 5th. The same plan as the third, with fhe omission of the Calumet 
 feeder, will cost $1,618,641 08. 
 
 6th. The same plan as the fifth, except that the Kankakee will be in- 
 troduced upon the Dresden level, will cost $1,570,846 07. 
 
 The a.bove estimates of cost were the only ones submitted to the agents 
 of the bond-holders, but plans differing from any proposed might be adopt- 
 ed. For instance, the size and declivity of the Fox river feeder could 
 be increased, so that it might be unnecessary to introduce either the Calu- 
 met or Kankakee feeders, and the cost could probably be diminished by 
 such an arrangement. But still there are many circumstances to be ta- 
 ken into consideration, which render it questionable whether the cheap- 
 est plan, which would give an adequate supply of water for the canal, 
 should be adopted. By introducing all the feeders named a more certain 
 supply of water would be provided, and a much larger water power cre- 
 ated, and at the same time a greater length of navigable canal secured 
 than by any other arrangement which could be adopted. The whole- 
 length of additional navigation by the construction of these navigable 
 feeders, and forming a tow-path on the Calumet river to the State line,, 
 would be about seventy miles; or a distance more than equal to two- 
 thirds of the main line of canal. It will, however, at once be seen that 
 the construction of all these feeders with the necessary structures upon 
 them, will add considerably to the annual expense of repairs and superin- 
 tendence when the whole shall have been completed. 
 
 It is no part of my duty at this time to recommend any particular plan 
 lor the completion of the canal, and the subject has been alluded to 
 merely to show that there are many important questions involved in it, 
 and that a thorough investigation of facts will be necessary to secure the 
 best possible plan. The discretionary powers given to the trustees of the 
 Company will very properly be much greater than were conferred upon 
 the Board of Commissioners, for it is obvious that the cost of the canal 
 might have been made much less had not the law fixed the plan of certain 
 parts of the work. For instance, the western terminus of the canal must 
 be "at or near the mouth of the little Vermilion river on lands belonging 
 to the State," and the expense encountered in consequence of this law 
 has been much greater than any additional advantage which can possibly 
 accrue to the State from the continuation of the canal below Ulica. 
 
 I mention this error as the effect of the law authorizing the construc- 
 tion that it may not hereafter be charged as the fault of the officers who 
 made the location. The law-makers were to blame for the restrictions 
 imposed. 
 
 It has been mentioned in former reports that considerable expense 
 has been encountered to confer additional value upon canal prop- 
 erty at some particular points upon the canal, as at Lockport, Juliet, Ot- 
 tawa, and La Salle. These are important town sites owned principally 
 (except Juliet) by the State, and the money expended forthe above men- 
 tioned object will unquestionably be much more than counter-balanced 
 by the increased value of the property. But if the work were regarded 
 with strict reference to the greatest economy in the construction of a 
 canal for the purpose of navigation on/?/, I am aware that the experi- 
 enced engineer would pronounce some of the expenditures injudicious. It 
 is, therefore more than probable that when the circumstances which gor- 
 
36 (51) 
 
 erned the plans and location shall have been forgotten, an error in judg- 
 ment or a want of skill may be charged, where, perhaps the interests of 
 the State have been most efficiently subserved. 
 
 But be this as it may, there can be no question either now or hereafter 
 that the importance of this route was such as to require an improvement 
 of great capacity at least equal in all respects to the canal commenced 
 and so nearly completed. When the work was first commenced few 
 doubted the ability of the State to finish it, and that she had the ability 
 is proved by the fact that much more than enough in the aggregate to 
 complete it was long since expended upon the various other improvements 
 undertaken. 
 
 It is useless now to regret that operations were not concentrated upon 
 one or two, or three improvements until these were finished. Had this 
 been done the revenue arising from the tolls upon these improvements, 
 and the sales of property for which a demand would then have been cre- 
 ated, would have effectually preserved the credit of the State, and affor- 
 ded means at some future period, perhaps, for prosecuting a more exten- 
 sive system of public works than can now be anticipated, 
 
 The completion of the canal, it is now evident, is the only means of 
 enabling our State to pay her debts and restore her credit; and if this 
 work can be completed at any reasonable sacrifice, and a disposition is 
 shown on the part of the State to do all that is in her power to meet exist- 
 ing liabilities, the object will undoubtedly be effected. But so long as 
 the canal remains unfinished ''shadows, clouds and darkness" must con- 
 tinue to rest upon us.
