ERIE CANAL AND SALT COVERS. The Erie Canal within
the city limits is about five miles Jong, and in it are three
locks, with a stop-gate just east of the city for protection
from floods. There are about 35,000 salt covers in Syracuse,
averaging about 16 feet square and from 6 to 8 inches deep.
The brine is pumped from the earth and sold by the State
to tue manufacturers. About 3,000,000 bushels of salt are
produced annually.
