Summary:
The series consists of documents relating to the Canaseraga Creek improvement project begun in 1906. The Canaseraga Creek
is an important tributary of the Genesee River. Heavy silt deposits and the irregular course of the creek inhibited free passage
of water, resulting in severe annual flooding. The slow subsidence of flood waters on the flat land impaired cultivation and
caused damage. The records document efforts to redress the situation posed by damage to the public health.
