Also, one lamp on cach fide of the draw, to be lighted every night from sunset to lunnte, during ■he continuance of the lease. The bridges ate to be built with such piles, timber, scantling, and plank, as (hall render them perfeaiy substantial and secure in .he opinion of the commiflioners, and are to be of a fufficient height to prote£t them aga'.nft 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. Allowance for carnage way, 20 feet. Do. for foot walks, railed off on each fide, 4 feet each, 8 feet. Do. for ballufti ades, 1 foot each, 2 feet. Do. for hand-rails for do. 6 inches each, 1 foot.—Total, 31 feet. The fides of the bridges to be secured with strong balluttrades, after the manner of the bridge between Boston and Charleftown. The bridges and draws are to be kept n constant repair, and at the expiration of the lease are to be surrendered in good order, agreeably to the a6t. The following are the terms which the commiflioners are au thorrfed to offer to contra&ors : A lcafe of the excJufive privilege of the bridges for a period not exceeding 99 years, with a toll equal to three-fourths ot the pre sent rates of ferriage. From as accurate an estimate as could pofliMy be obtained, the attual receipts of the ferries for a medium of five years last part, amount to twelve hundred pounds, New-Jersey currency, per annum, three-fourths of that sum will confequeittly produce an immediate income of 900 pounds per ann. This may fairly be estimated as the smallest profit that can be calculated upon. The advancing population of the United Slates, 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 necessarily tend rapidly to accumulate the profits of the bridges. The commiflioners are moreover au thorized by law to raise four thousand pounds to be applied to wards making causeways and laying out proper roads connected with the bridges, and have a lottery now on foot for that purpose. As soon as the places (hail be determined on where the bridges are to be fixed, and ihecontra&s for erecting them are executed, the roads and causeways will be immediately undertaken. Such persons therefore as may be inclined to contra# on the above principles, will be pleased to fend in their terms sealed, within three months from this date, to William Maxwell Esq. in New-York, fpecifying the shortest period of lease for which thev will undertake to erett the said bridges,together with proper security for performing the fame.
