Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Annual Report of the Canal Commissioners of the State of New-York: Presented to the Legislature, 12th March, 1821
That the construction of the great works sub mitted to their superintendance, has advanced, dur ing the past season, with greater economy than any antecedent experience had led them to expect. The want of money, in the country, and the grow ing reputation of the undertakings, have greatly encreased the number of responsible competitors for contracts; of which the natural effect has been, a reduction, in the price of almost every kind of labor required, on the canals: And this effect has been further promoted, by the abundant stores of grain and provisions, in the interior of the state, for which there has been no foreign demand.
