The State of New Jersey acquired the Morris Canal & Banking Company in 1922. In 1924, a bill was passed providing for (among other things), the dismantling of the canal. Cornelius C. Vermeule, Sr., was appointed as engineer of the project. He resigned in 1928 and was succeeded as consulting and directing engineer by his son, Major Cornelius C. Vermeule, Jr. Vermeule (Jr.) submitted his final report on the dismantlement to the president and board of directors of the canal company on 29 June 1929. The report contains tables and outlines showing the work and costs involved in the project, which often included repair of the canal and its locks, planes, bridges, dams, acqueducts, etc. The report also includes a 24-page history of the canal from 1822-1929 as an appendix. A second volume contains photographs and drawings to accompany the report. |
