Letter from Erastus Cole Knight to Theodore Roosevelt
Mayor Knight of Buffalo recommends Major Symons for appointment to the international commission for regulation of lake levels. Knight dissuades President Roosevelt from listening to a faction from the Lake Superior Water Power Company of Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan, that is against Symons, arguing that the people of Buffalo have been happy with his work and that the proposed dam on the Niagara River is in Symons’ field of expertise.
