STATE OF NEW YORK, DEPARTMENT OF STATE ENGINEER AND SURVEYOR, WESTERN DIVISION. ROCHESTER, N. Y., October 1, 1910. Hon. FRANK M. WILLIAMS, State Engineer and Surveyor, Albany, N. Y.: Sir. I have the honor of submitting herewith my annual report as Division Engineer of the Western Division, for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1910. The Western Division comprises that part of the existing canal system of the state extending from the east line of Wayne county to the westerly line of Main street, in the city of Buffalo, covering a total of 147.88 miles of navigable waters. For Barge canal construction the division limits are substantially the same, but construction work terminates at the Niagara river at Tonawanda. The principal work of this division has consisted in performing the necessary engineering work in connection with the existing Erie canal, making surveys, plans and estimates and supervising the construction of the Barge canal under chapter 147, Laws of 1903, and amendments thereto. Coöperation has been extended and assistance given to the Department of Public Works in making surveys, plans and estimates, and also appropriation maps, when required. It is a pleasure to announce that notwithstanding the large amount of work done in enlarging the present canal between Rochester and Lockport, navigation has been carried on without interruption, and no leaks or breaks have occurred. Credit is due to the Department of Public Works and also to the contractors and engineers of this Department, for their able coöperation to secure the safety of the canal embankment and structures. |
