The Canal Project Again

New York, 1895

As a result of the meeting of citizens who were interested in the scheme of connecting Newtown and Flushing creeks by a canal, a bill has been drafted which will be presented to the Legislature in a few days. It asks the State to expend $250,000. That is nonsense.

—The Long Island Farmer, Jamaica, NY, Feb. 15, 1895, p. 1.
