	Chapter 7: The Oswego Canal
		For several miles between Oswego falls and Oswego, where the high lands approached the bank, the canal was constructed in the border of the river, and a sloping wall of cobblestone was raised on the outside of the canal to protect the embankment.
		The canal bank along the shore of Onondaga lake was composed of so loose a soil, and was so much abraded by the water of the lake on the one side and of the canal on the other, that it was found neccessary to secure it on both sides with a facing of timber.
		The locks on the Oswego canal had all been constructed with a view of doubling them at some future time, so it was proposed to double the guard-lock at Oswego, using the new structure as a weigh-lock, which at the same time would become one of a second tier of locks.
