The situation of t! e bridgeacrofs the Paffaick river, will be a
one of the three following stations, as (hall be hereafter determin
ed most eligible. . _ . ,
ift. At the place where the present feny is eftaolifhcd, when
the width of the river is 676 feet.
Depth at the eastern (hore 8 feet 6 inches,

The bridges are to be conftru&ed on the principlesof those erect
ed over Charles, Myftick, and Beverly Rivers in the State of Mas
sachusetts, with a draw to admit a free paftage for vcftels with fix
t d standing masts, not less than twenty-four feet wide, to be pla
ced in such part of the bridges as lhall be determined most con
venient for the navigation of the river, with piles or biocks on
each fide of the entrance of such araiv, as shall be judged fufficient
to aid vefTels in pafling through. 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.
