This shows that the entire canal system OF the
State pays en- interest the Of the canals Of
about per cent. per aunum This favorable result
10 produced mainly by the revenue OF the Ere canal,
which yields s2,l54,2 ,234 70, while all the other c.
Gals produce only s243,990 81"


Just consider this statement The Canals have
iost Thirty Millions, while the Tolls are under
Two and Half and tie net Revenue under Two
Millions But of this heavy cost not e-hay
hss Jet been made productive. The Twelve
Millions cost of the unfushed Enlargement, the
One and Half of the Black River, and two
thirds of the Three Millions and lhree-foUrths ex
pended on the Genesee vdl!ey,-in all over
Fifteen Mlions-lie as dead as though u spade
had never been lifted upon either. They addnOt
dollar 10 the Receipts from the Canals. But if
the Enlargement alone were completed, reducing
the cost of frcighting seventy IONS TO that now
required for twenty-five, the tolls might be raised
Gftyper cent. without increasing the net cost Of
transportation. This without any increase in
the amount Of freight would give over One NIL
Ion year additional tolls; or, If the Rates Of
Tolls we're left unchanged, who can doubt that
the very great reduction in the cost of transpor-
taiion would attract en immense increase Of busi-
ness to cur Canals? But all is sheffield out Of
sight by the Comptroller, who labors TO give The
impression that the present annua! Revenue is the
natural aud fair income of Thirty Millions Of
Dollars expanded On Canels [. would be just
as fair 70 cite the present rents OF block Of
half built houses as the usual and fair income Of
