See also:Carnegie Library (1905). Fort See also:Brady, in the south-western See also:part of the city, is an See also:infantry See also:garrison; the old Ft. Brady (built about 1822) in another part of the city is still See also:standing.
The river is here nearly i m. wide and falls 20 ft. in three-fourths of a mile; it has been made navigable by See also:lock canals for vessels See also:drawing 20 ft. of See also:water. The See also:North See also:West See also:Fur See also:Company built a lock here in 1797–1798. A See also:canal 5700 ft. long, navigable for vessels of 11.5 ft. See also:draught, was completed by the See also:state in 1855. Between 187o and 1881 the Federal See also: government widened the canal to See also:loo ft., made the draught 16 ft., and built the Weitzel lock, 515 ft. long, 8o ft. wide, 6o ft. at See also:gate openings, with a lift of 18-2o ft.; in 1896 the See also:Poe lock (on the site of the old state locks), having a lift of 18-2o ft., and measuring 800 ft. X loo ft., was opened, and the canal and its approaches were deepened. In 1908 the government began the widening of the canal above the locks and the construction of a new lock, 1350 ft. long between See also:gates and having a draft of 24.5 ft. at extreme See also:low-water. The estimated cost of this lock and approaches is $6,200,000. In 1907 the See also:commerce passing here during the See also:navigation See also:season of eight months and twenty-three days amounted to 58,217,214 tons of See also:freight, valued at more than $600,000,000; the commerce passing through the canals at this point is larger than that of any other canal in the See also:world. There is a See also:ship canal (I* m. long) on the Canadian side of the river, which was completed in 1895 at a cost of $3,750,000. From the rapids opposite the city two water-See also:power See also:plants (of 50,000 and 10,000 h.p. respectively) derive their power; the larger, a See also:hydraulic water-power canal (costing, with power equipment, $6,500,000) is 11 m. long, and extends from the lake above to a power-house below the rapids; in this power-house are 320 turbines.
