The Erie Canal Enlargement was authorized by legislation of 1835 and 1838. Earlier legislation (1819, 1821, 1826) required the Canal Commissioners to take receipts for all expenditures and to settle their accounts with the Comptroller.

From the description of Vouchers for expenditures on enlargement of the Erie Canal, 1837-1848, bulk 1848. (New York State Archives). WorldCat record id: 78601920

James Geddes was appointed engineer in charge of the survey by the Commissioners appointed under legislation of 1816. He was instructed to survey and map a route for the canal which, west of the Genesee River, was somewhat to the north of the route he had surveyed in 1808.
