The following estimates for a canal located, in accordance with your instructions, on the west side of the Genesee river, from Mount Morris to Rochester, show the cost of each section in detail: they are Respectfully submitted, HENRY STANLEY DEXTER, Section €9-2 miles 12 chains. Beginning near Mount Morris, assumes the mill canal to a point opposite Spring brook run; thence across Mount Morris flats to the Genesee, which is crossed by an aqueduct 238 feet in length; terminates on the Leicester flats. The estimate provides for a feeder from the Genesee, by improving the mill caual.

Diverging at Spring brook run, assumes the mill canal to the guard lock; crosses the pond to the eastern base of Squaky hill, and intersects the main line on Mrs. Clute's farm. Squaky hill rises abruptly from the west side of the pond; its northern face is precipitous, with a direction nearly at right angles to the Genesee. It is properly the continuation of a range of hills, divided by the chasm through which the Genesee flows. This canal passes along its eastern face for 84 chains. It is necessary to make a cut to its top, 53 feet above bottom, for one and a half chains. The estimate includes the cost of improving the mill canal and strengthening the pond embankments. 47,000 cubic yards of excavation, (Squaky hill,) at 9 c. $4,230 00 rock, at 60 c. .... embankment, at 12 c. mill canal, 10 c..... .... 600 00 922 81 4,151 52 1,270 00 650 rods of fence, at 70 c. 1 culvert, 2 feet chord, 1 pier, 130 feet long, ... 1 guard loek, equal to a 6 feet lock,..... 1 lock, No. 125, 6 feet, including guard lock,. 2 farm bridges, 459 20 196 00 842 00 4.313 00 5,603 00 762 52 $23,350 05 Section 70-82.44 chains.

Beginning at a point on the land of Judge Jones, extends along the foot of the hills to a point on the land of Seymour Phelps. Alluvial soil. Beginning on the farm of Seymour Phelps, and extending along the face of a very gentle declivity, terminates at a point on the land of Andrew Dunning. Alluvial soil. Section 73-83.76 chains. Beginning on the land of Andrew Dunning, extends along an easy slope to a point on that of Levi Sykes; at Lyman's store house four chains of docking, 30 feet high, are required to protect the embankment. A narrow strip of flat between the hill and river is first met with on this section. These strips varying from an half to one and an half chains in width, occur frequently from this point to section 81, a distance of 7 miles. They are usually of sufficient width for the safe location of the canal. Ravines varying from one to ten chains in width, and from three to nine feet below bottom, occur on every section from this to 82d section.
