Franklin Canal Road Survey and Harbor Dunkirk Praise
The Warren Mail reports from a letter by John Galbraith that the Franklin Canal Company plans a line between Erie and the Ohio line with land rights secured for most of the distance. A mortgage secures bonds to fund iron rails and work proceeds with aggressive contractor activity, aiming for completion within a year. The piece also extols Dunkirk harbor as a superior Lake Erie anchorage and notes a Washington Monument fundraising appeal with current costs and a Daguerreian Journal note from Humphrey and Hill, New York.
