Excerpt from The First Annual Report: Of the Acting Committee of the Society for the Promotion of Internal Improvements in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, 1826

It will be in the recollection of the members of the Society, that early in the past year, at the suggestion of this Society, a meeting of the citizens of the. City and County of Philadelphia was held, at which it was determined to petition the legislature, in favour of constructing a canal at the expense of the state, to connect the Alleghany and Lake Erie with the eastern waters of Pennsylvania. Similar petitions from every part of the state were recommended, in emphatic terms, at that meeting; and a committee of twenty-four, comprised of many of our most respecta ble citizens of the county and city, was appointed to promote that object, and the great interests of the state, by efforts in favour of internal improvements.
