Public Works for the scaie of New York dealing with the traffic on the Erie canal should open their eyes on this point. This canal will accommodate barges of only 240 tons burden, and of but six feet draft. Yet in the year 1910 more than two million tons of freight was transported by it. Of the wheat which \ reached New York in that year nearly" ~ we flvemilliou bushels, outoftweive million bushels came in by canal, the greatest AGENT ' part- of it by the Erie. The canals . i, ' H F'U brought more than any one railway. The average rate for transporting wheat ' 8c l N S U from Buffalo to New York was aafractiou I over four cents a bushel, the distance , - \ being 500 miles. Upwards of fifty 3 c _ million dollars hasbcen expended on the ‘ construction of the present Erie canal g mmfirzmmam and another ninety millions is now being ' spent on its enlargement. Compare § these figures with those of the Trent ~ ‘4‘ waterway. It is 669 miles from Sault Ste -Marie to Montreal by the Trent route, as against 1,094 from the Sault to New York by the Erie canal. The total saving between the Sault and Liverpool is over 700 miles. As there is only 20 miles of canal on the Trent route, as against 352 by the Erie, the saving in ; time is even greaterâ€"215 hours to New York, as against 107 to Montreal, or 50 ' per cent. All the new portiou of the Trent canal is building for 8 feet 4 inches draft, which means a capacity for barges of 750 tons,_ as against 240 tons on the - Erie, It is, estimated that grain can be carried from Midland: to. Montreal by the _Treut. route for two to two and a half cents a bushelâ€"as against four cents on the Erie. One firm stated to the govern- - meet this year that the completion of, i the Trent canal would effect a saving in freight for them of $60,000 per aunum. The total expenditure on the Trent canal . so farhas been aboutgine million dollars, and another six,_orsseven, millions will icomplete the work, including the deep- .ening to the eight feet draft. At every ' point the comparison is in favor of the Canadian canal. These figures have been published before, but it seems necessary to repeat them. 3mm time to time, in order that friends of the Trent waterway may not be carried away by ithe cry, that it isoxily a ditch. good that guarantee to the letter.
