The Erie Canal finances and tolls debate 1881 figures
A lengthy financial review discusses canal revenues for 1880 and 1881, showing deficits, maintained expenses, and a possible closure by July 1 1888 under current rules. It analyzes tonnage and toll declines, rail competition, and the impact on port receipts and westbound traffic, noting calls to remove tolls and fund maintenance from state taxpayers.
