For erc6ling BRIDGES over the tIACKiNSACK and Passaick Rivers, between Powles-Hook. and Newark, in the State of New-Jersey. THE Commiflioners appointed by an a& of the le?iflatuTe of the state of New-Jerfcv, to erect bridges over the Hackinfack and Paffaic-k rivers, having obtained the necessary surveys, are no at ready to receive proposals for performing the lame ; and offer the following conditions ior the consideration of such as may be inclined to contrast : The situation of the bridge across the Hackinfack river, will bo at one ot the following stations, as (hall be hereafter determined most eligible. lft. At the place where the present ferry is established, where the width of the river i> 1448 feet. Depth at the eastern shore, 8 feet 8 inches. Do. western shore, 8 11 Greatest depth, 25 4 2d. At a place more northerly, called Douw's Ferry, where the width of the river is 846 feet. Depth at the eastern shore 19 feet 10 inches. Do. western shore 12 Greatest depth 35 8 The situation of the bridge across the PafTaick river, will be at one of the three following stations, as (hall be hereafter determin ed most eligible. lft. At the place where the present feiry is eftablilhed, where the width of the river is 676 feet. Depth at tlie eastern £hore 8 feet 6 inches, Do. western shore 9 6 Greatest depth 17 2d.

Depth at the eastern fhorc 4 feet 5 inches, Do. western shore 10 8 Greatest depth 11 The bridges are to be conftrufted on the principles of those erect ed over Charles, Myftick, and Beverly Rivers in the State of Mas sachusetts, with a draw to admit a free pafTage for vefTels with fix ed standing malls, not less than twenty-four feet wide, to be pla ced in such part of the bridges as (hall be determined mod con venient for the navigation of the rirer, with piles or blocks on each fide of the entrance of such draw, as shall be judged fufficient to aid vefTels in pafiing through. Also, one lamp on each fide of the draw, to be lighted every night from sunset to sunrise, during the continuance of the lease. 9GBO 5420 700 800 900 1000 7312 The bridges aic to be built with such piles, timber, scantling, and plank, as shall render them perfe&ly substantial and secure in the opinion of the commiflioners, and are to be of a fufficient height to proteffc them against the tides, which rife at ordinary tides from 5 to 6 feet, and at spring tides from 8 to 10 feet. They are to be 31 feet in breadth, viz. 11812 Do. for hand-rails for do. 6 inches each, 1 foot.—Total, 31 feet. The fides of the bridges to be secured with strong balluftrades, after the manner of the bridge between Boston and Charleftown.

From as accurate an estimate as could poflibly be obtained, the a&ual receipts of the ferries for a medium of five years last past, amount to twelve hundred pounds, New-Jersey currency, per annum, three-fourths of that sum. will corifequently produce an immediate income of 900 pounds per ana This may fairly be estimated as the smallest profit that can be calculated apot). The advancing population of the United States, the increasing inter* course between the two cities of New-York and Philadelphia, the facility which the conftru&ion of these bridges will give to travel ling, the easy communication thereby offered with the state of New-York, on the western fide of the Hudson, are all important circumstances, which must neccflarily tend rapidly to accumulate the profits of the bridges. The commilfioners are moreover au thorized by law to raise four thousand pounds to be applied to wards making causeways and laying out proper roads conne&ed with the bridges, and have a lottery now on foot for that purpose. As soon as the places (hall be determined on where the bridges are to be fixed, and the contracts for eiefting them are executed, the roads and causeways will be immediately undertaken. Such persons therefore as may be inclined to contrail on thp above principles, will be plcafed to fend in their terms sealed, within three months from this date, to William Maxwell, Esq. in New-York, fpecifyirig the shortest period of lease for which they will undertake to erc&thc said bridges,together with proper security for performing the fame.
