HISTORY OF THE BARGE CANAL

OF NEW YORK STATE

BY

NOBLE E. WHITFORD

----------------------------------------

CHAPTER XXXII

TABLES OF CONTRACTS

Construction of Barge Canal: Erie, Champlain and Oswego Canals, Work Completed and Work under Contract; Cayuga and Seneca Canal, Work Completed - Construction of Barge Canal Terminals: Work Completed and Work under Contract.

----------------------------------------

In order not to burden the text of the present volume with too great detail, the contracts under which the Barge canal and terminal construction work was performed have been listed in tabular form and are here inserted under a special chapter heading. From these tables it may be learned when the work at the various localities was undertaken and also what the cost was. There are summaries which give the total costs. It should be said that all these figures represent the cost of construction and do not include engineering, the purchase of land, awards for damages and interference with vested rights, and other incidental expenditures. The tables show that virtually all canal construction is completed, while on terminal construction, especially the installation of machinery, considerable is still under contract. The logical arrangement in the tables has seemed to be that of contract number, but since no very definite or easily-explainable system was employed in the original assignment of numbers, search for any given piece of work will have to made until it is found.

It will be seen that the total construction cost of the Erie, Champlain and Oswego branches of the Barge canal, as shown in the following tables, is $96,685,570. In 1903 is was estimated that this cost would be approximately $84,000,000, but in 1915 it was evident that this amount would be exceeded, and the reasons therefor are given on pages 246-9 of this volume. Since that time there have been some other extraordinary increases in cost of labor and material, brought about by World war conditions, which tended very materially to increase the total cost of the construction work above either the 1903 or the 1915 estimates.

WORK COMPLETED ON THE ERIE, CHAMPLAIN AND OSWEGO CANALS UP TO OCTOBER 18, 1922, {The date has no significance aside from the fact that the tables were compiled then.} EXCLUSIVE OF THAT DONE UNDER CHAPTER 585, LAWS OF 1918
