Bid proposals for construction work on Black River Canal reservoirs, 1859.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/78850452

The series consists of transcriptions of proposals to complete Black River Canal reservoirs. Contracting for the reservoirs began in 1855, and work was completed by 1861. The reservoirs were designed to restore to the Black River the quantity of water diverted to the Black River Canal and the enlarged Erie Canal. Contractors submitted nine proposals to the Contracting Board for completion of construction of the South Branch Reservior and the Woodhall Reservior. The proposals were then transcribed into this volume.
