C. E. , stated that he could not make a canal compete with a railway by animal power, and had tried steam but could not gain any advantage owing to the restricted area of the canal. Sir Robert Raw- linson gave an opinion that canals could not compete with railways, and Sir John Hawkshaw said, that in 1831 an act had been obtained to convert the Manchester and Bolton Canal into a railway, but the project was abandoned and the railway was built alongside of the canal, but gradually absorbed the t...raffic of the canal. "It was *. Subject of regret that the original plan had not been been carried out, (or canals could not compete with railways. " These were the opinions of leading engineers 30 years ago. Since then it has not been possible to make any improvement in the speed or economy of canal transportation, but the rail- roads have greatly developed in both these respects. The reasons for the reduced cost in railway transportation of late years are, improvements in the condition of railroads by better construction, better maintenance of track, and in more economical administration ; also, in the increase of the amount of freight hauled on one train, which is made possible by the increase in locomotive power and in the capacity of cars.
