A Link with the Past
October 25 marks the anniversary of the opening of the Erie
Canal in 1825. The 363-mile-long canal opened an impor
tant water route from Lake Erie to the ocean, but con
vincing Congress to authorize funding for the project was a
long and difficult process. The canal's champion. Governor
De Witt Clinton of New York, originally approached
Congress in 1810 His first plan was rejected, but he tried
again in 1815, and funding was finally approved in 1816.
Construction on the $7.6 million project was started on July
4 ’ Although political strife led to
Clinton’s retiring from public life in
1823, his supporters rallied and he
was reelected as governor before the
Rome was not huik in a Jay.

If you’re buying new tires |
before the season of ice and ,
snow gets underway, here i
are some things to consider.
Radial tires result in the best
gas mileage, and steel-belted
radials are usually the most
efficient. Keep your tires
properly inflated undenn
flation can waste up to 5% of |
a car's fuel due to increased !
rolling residence. Patronize |
a dealer who will recy
cle your old tires. They /EJgu
may charge you a few Ifcr7\
dollars for this service, vy/ ,
but the cost to all of us of
not recycling is far greater 1 1
