To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The towpatb between Buffalo and Pendleton is in pretty good con- dition with the exception of a few places near Pendleton which need raising. The towpath for a half mile below Pendleton is in very bad condition and should be rebuilt. It was originally a vertical wall made of white oak piling, capped and sheet-piled; the piles have all rotted away to the edge of the water and there is nothing left but the ties to support the docking timber. Either new piles should be driven the entire length and... recapped and sheet-piled or the old piles should be cut off at the water and built up with timb^ or stone. The towpath ^t this point should also be raised at least two feet. At the request of Superintendent Chambers we have boated a very large quantity of stone and gravel from section ten (10), which had l)een removed from the bottom of the canal between Sulphur Springs guard-look and Lockport, and used same in improving towpath and slope wall on Tonawanda creek. This material was found to be excellent for this purpose.
