ALBANY, Jan. 8.—Damage claims Rave been filed against the State Growing out of the Erie Canal im- HPovement amounting to $76,000,000, ‘This eum is almost equal to the actual cost of construction of the undertak- ing, which the State Engineer esti- mates at $86,000,000. damage claims are expected, | that when all are in the State will the extraordinary situation of damage suits by its own citizens equal the cost of building the enlarged canal system. rds of the Attorney General's compiled to Jan. 1 show that de of claimants a \deavor- to Becure from the public treas- ry enokmous sums of money for al- loged damage to their property, anda Vast amount of litigation will be re- tired to settle the suits. “MAMAGE CLAIMS” CL. ; IN THREE BIG GROUPS. ‘These claims are classified into three general groups, as follows: Per permament appropria- FIED ter power rights. Glaime of contractors for changes of specifications, Ateiesi claime expect: The State already has paid out in settlement of damage claims a little than $10,000,000, of which $9,808,000 have gone to land and wa- teg right claimants and $708,000 to tractors, The heaviest claims the most aggressive raiders on tate Treasury have not been with and hard fought battles Going on in the courts. i people of New York voted in 1998 to appropriate $101,000,000 for e teing the canal system and the there of the day estimated that all work could be done well within - amount. Developments since then have confirmed that statement within reasonable mits, 0 far as ‘the actual cost of construction is con- opened.

The State Enginer, whether Tammany or new administration re- ‘has no part in it.
