Not personally ; there is a squandering of the money of the State ; and this $500,000 that has been appropriated has not added anything to the carrying capacity of the canal ; indeed, we do not carry as much.
Q. The extra appropriations have been squandered ?
A. In a great measure; on the locks and permanent structures there may be an improvement.
Q. You consider it substantially a failure?
A. Yes, sir, substantially a failure ; there are some structures and new locks made permanent, and undoub...tedly good, so far as I know.
Q. Independently of the locks built, you regard it as a substantial failure ?
A. Yes, sir ; it don't draw more water than it did five years ago, and certainly cannot transport as much in a season as eight years ago, when the boats carried eighty tons, while now they carry one hundred ; the books of the line will show that ; they used to make thirty trips — twenty-eight to thirty-one — ^at an average of eighty net tons, and now 20 trips in a season is a laige number ; making an advantage of four hundred tons in a season in favor of the small boats in the canal as it was.
