Hudson to Great Lakes Waterway contract plans, 1934-1963.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/122537338

This series consists of linen plans and drawings for contracts authorized by the State (Chapter 688, Laws of 1934) and funded by the Federal government. Under terms of a 1935 state-federal agreement New York State was able to accept federal aid for improvements to the Barge Canal System without transferring the canals to the government. As contracts were completed, the federal government reimbursed the state for money used to initiate, construct, and finance canal improvements. The Superintendent of Public Works was authorized by the law to carry out all work.
