Legislature approves sale of State Canal to Sunbury and Erie Rail Company
The Legislature adjourned sine die and announced the sale of the State Canal to the Sunbury and Erie Railroad Company for 3 5,000,000. The measure, supported by Senator Brewer and others, isolates public works from state control and funds repairs with half a million in the current appropriation. The sale is praised as a patriotic act yielding wide regional benefits and economic development. A contrasting note cites political agitation in the territory and the impact on farmers. A U.S. steamer Susquehanna brought yellow fever cases to port, with quarantine and medical care arranged for crew and officers.
