(See CANAL, vol. iii., p. 685.) The Erie canal, con- necting Lake Erie with the Hudson river, af- fords a continuous water channel through which the produce of the western states and Canada may reach the port of ISTew York ; while the several canals traversing the state from north to south supply transportation facil- ities to the interior of New York and Penn- sylvania. The canals and navigable feeders owned hy the state aggregate 857" m. in length, and the river and other improvements exclu- sive of lakes which have been completed in- crease the length of the artificial system of navigable waters to 907 m. The general su- perintendence of the canals is vested in three commissioners elected for three years, who have charge of the construction of new and the re- pairs of old canals. The state engineer and sur- veyor inspects the canals and performs other duties, while the canal board, composed of the lieutenant governor, comptroller, secretary of state, treasurer, attorney general, state engi- neer and surveyor, and the canal commission- ers, fix the rates of toll with the concurrence of the legislature, appoint officers, &c. The amount of freight transported on all the state canals during 1874 was 5,804,588 tons, valued at $196,674,322, including products of the for- est valued at $17,840,356 ; agricultural pro- ducts, $64,344,898; manufactures, $7,094,531 ;
