CON T R A C T,
For erefling BRIDGES over the Hackinsack and Passaicak
Rivers, between Powlas-Hook and Newark, in the State of
New-Jersey.
THE Commiflioners appointed by an a£t of the legislature of
the state of New-Jersey, to ere£l bridges over the Hackinfack
and Paffaiack rivers, having obtained the neccffary surveys, are
now ready to receive proposals for performing the fame ; and
offer the following conditions for theconfiderationof such as may
be inclined to contrast :
(96 tf)
The situation of the bridge across the Hackinfack river, will be
at one of the following stations, as shall be hereafter determined
most eligible.
lft. At the place where the present ferry is established, where
the width of the river is 1448 feet.
Depth at the eastern fliore, 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 inchcs.
Do. western shore 12
Greatest depth 35 8
The situation of the bridge across the PafTaiack river, will be at
one of the three following stations, as (hall be hereafter determin
ed moil eligible.
lft. At the place where the orefent feiry is established, where
the width of the river is 676 feet.
Depth at the eastern shore 8 feet 6 inches,
Do. western shore g 6
Greatest depth j 7
2d. At a place more westerly, called Beef-Point, where the
breadth of the river is 799 feet.
Depth at the carteln shore 11 feet,
Do. western shore 4 s inches,
Greatest depth ig 4
3d. At a place (till more northerly, called Hedden's dock, in
the town of Newark, where the width of the riv«r is 526 feet.
Depth at the eastern shore 4 teet 5 inches,
Do. western shore 10 8
Greatest depth 15 n
The bridges are to be conftrutted 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 passage for vessels with fix
ed standing masts, not less than 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 river, with piles or blocks on
each fide of the entrance of such draw, as shall be judged fufficient
to aid vessels in parting 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.
The bridget ate to be built with such piles, timber, scantling,
and plank, as {hall render them perfectly fubftanlial and secure in
the opinion of the commiflioners, and are to be of a fufficient
height to protest 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.
Dollars
Allowance tor cairiagc way, 20 feet.
Do. for foot walks, railed off on each fide, 4 feet each, 8 feet,
Do. for balluftrades, 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 balluftrades,
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 atl.
The following are the terms which the commiflioners are au
thorised to offer to contrattors :
A lease of the exclusive privilege of the bridges for a period not
exceeding 99 years, with a toll equal to three-fourths of the prc
fent rates of ferriage.
From as accurate an eflimate as could poflibly be obtained, the
actual 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 confcquently produce an
immediate income of 900 pounds per ann. This mav fairly be
estimated 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 western fide of the Hudson, are all important
circumstances, which must neceflarily 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 shall be determined on where the bridges
are to be fixed, and the cpntratts for etetting them are oxccuted,
the roads and causeways will be immediately undertaken.
Such persons therefore as maybe inclined to contrast 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, fpccifying the shortest period of lease for
which they will undertake to ere& the laid bridges, together with
proper security for performing the fame.
