Construction was begun in 1905. The State Engineer, John A. Bensel, writing under date of July 28, 1914, says: "The amount of work placed under contract (June i, 1914) is, in round numbers, $85, 000, 000, and the amount of work performed to June ist is, in round numbers, $69, 000, 000, these figures embracing the work on all the canals of the State exclusive of the construction of the Barge Canal terminals. Payments have been made on 97 ARTIFICIAL WATERWAYS OP THE WORLD account of all expenses ...incurred in connection with the Barge Canal Improvements to July ist, in an amount of $87, 805, 000, this figure not including about $3, 000, 000 earned by the contractors, but held by the State as retained percentages. It is difficult to make a deduction from the above figures relative to the percentage of work remaining unfinished, but a general statement of the status of the work is as follows: In all probability the entire Champlain Canal and that portion of the Erie Canal from Waterford to Three River Point, the junction of the Erie and Oswego canals, and the entire Oswego Canal between this point and Lake Ontario will be completed during the season of 1915, as will also the Cayuga-Seneca Canal improved, and the canal from the point of junction of the Cayuga-Seneca Canal and the Erie Canal to Three River Point, making pos- sible the utilization of the Barge Canal between Lake Ontario and the Cayuga and Seneca lakes.
