sembly, Document No. 225, April 15, 1845, that the amount expended to bring the new line into use, was $1,388.45, a much less amount than was required to keep the old canal in a navigable condition.

Your committee in view of the above facts set forth are clearly of the opinion that the State is now receiving the benefit of labor and work done by petitioners, for which they have not been paid, and that in justice she should no longer withhold from said petitioners such an amount as they may be justly entitled to. Your committee therefore ask leave to introduce a bill. All of which is respectfully submitted,

No 21.
