The item of Dredging I have not entered in detail, not being able to ascertain the exact quantity of earth that it will be necessary to remove ; but from the sound- ing that I have taken, I am of opinion that the sum esti- mated, is quite sufficient to cover the cost of that portion of the work. The manner which I propose to construct the tow- ing path, below Crooks's Point, is such, that at any fu- ture time, and when it will be desirable to construct the towing path in a permanent manner, and of imperishable VI m 26 materials, the whole of the work now proposed can be made use of as a foundation for the new one The towing path above Crooks's Point I look uoon as permanent ; forshould it be found necessaryat any time to increase the present width of that portion of the Canal, the proper side to be removed, in my Til " the south Side 3 the banks on that lide being oTie ^eight, aud of softer materials, and consequently can be J-emoved at much less expense. ^ ^ I remain, Sir, Your Very Obed't.

' To the Stockholders of the Desjardins Canal Company : Having, in accordance with your request, (one, we may observe, to respond to which gives us sincere plea- sure,) placed before you a full, and, we trust, satisfactory statement of the financial affairs of the Company ; and, being desirous of putting every Stockholder in possession ot the fullest intelligence in reference to the work in every pomt of view, at once, as to its present condition, the general prospects of the Company, and also in refer- ence to the policy which we, on behalf of the Company, m the management of its affairs, have heretofore thought It prudent to adopt, we have prepared a brief Report, which we would now respectfully submit for your consi- deration. It will doubtless be remembered by the Stockhold- ers, that during the year 1846, C. S. Gzowski, Esq., Ci- vil Engmeer, was employed on behalf of the Company to survey the Canal, and officially report thereon, fur- nishing, at the same time, in view of the completion of the work, correct estimates of the probable expense,~a copy of which Report, with estimates, we have now the pleasure to lay before you. It will be observed, that the necessary enlargement of the Canal Basin is not included in the estimates sub- ^ as inittod, and, therefore, over and abovo .1 i "ed by Act of Parliament, of £25 ^n '''f' T '""''°'- £6000 would be requisite in ortlrTtJ f7^'' """" "^ of the work.
