d mod eligible. . .

The bridges are to be condoled on the pnnciplesof those erect
ed over Charles, Mvftick, and Beverly Rivers in the State of Mas
sachusetts, with a draw to admit a free paflage for vessels with fix
ed (landing masts, not lefsthan twenty-four feet wide, to be pla
ced in such part of the bridges as shall be determined most con
venient for the navigation of the Tiver, with piles or blocks o»
ach fide of the entrance of such draw, as shall be judged fufficient
:o aid vessels in pafling through. Also, one lamp on each fide o
the draw, to be lighted every night from funfet-to sunrise, durin*
the continuance of the lease.
The bridges aie to be built with such piles, timber, scantling,
and plank, as shall render them perfectly substantial and secure ir
the opinion of the commillioners, and are to be of a futficicnt
height to protest them against the tides, which rife at ordmar\
ides from 5 to 6 feet, and at spring tides from 8 to 19 feet. They
are to be 31 feet in breadth, viz.
Allowance for cairiage way, 20 feet.
Do. for foot walks, railed off on each fide, 4 each, 8 feet.
Do. for balluftrades, 1 foot each, 2 feet.

after the manner of the bridge between Boston and Charleftown.
The bridges and draws are to be kept 'n constant repair, and at
he expiration of the lease are to be surrendered in good order,
.greeably to the a£t.
The following are the terms which the commissioners are au
thor! fed to offer to contractors :
(e p. 3 m,
A Icafe of the exclusive privilege of the bridges for a period not
exceeding 99 years, with a toll equal to three-fourths of the pre
sent rates of ferriage.
From as accurate an estimate as could pofliblv be obtained, the
;.6tual receipts of the ferries for a medium of five years last past,
.mount to twelve hundred pounds, New-Jersey currency, per
annum, three-fourths of that sum will corifequently produce an
immediate income of 900 pounds per ann. This may fairly be
cftimated as the smallest profit that can be calculated upon. The
advancing population of the United States, the increasing inter
course between the two cities of New-York and Philadelphia, the
facility which the conftruftion of these bridges will give to travel
ling, the easy communication thereby offered with the state of
New-York, on the wettern fide of the Hudson, are all important
circumstances, which must necessarily tend rapidly to accumulate
the profits of the bridges. The commiGioners are moreover au
thorized by law to raise four thousand pounds to be applied to
wards making causeways and laying out proper roads conneffced
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 thecontra6ls for eie&ing them are ex cuted,
ihe roads and causeways will be immediately undertaken.
Such persons therefore as mav be inclined to contrast on thf
above principles, will be pleafrd to fend in their terms sealed,
within three months from this date, to Wi lli am Maxw el l.
Esq. in New-York, fpecifying the ftiorteft period of lease foi
which thev will undertake to erect the said bridges,together with
proper security for performing the fame.
