The bridges are to beconftru&ed on the principlesof those erect
ed over Charles, Mvftick, and Beverly Rivers in the vState of Mas
sachusetts, with a draw to admit a free paflage for vessels with fix
ed standing maftr. not less than twenty-four feet wide, to be pla
ced in such part of the bridges as (ball 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 vefiels in passing through. Also, one lamp on eaeh fide of
the draw, to be lighted every night from sunset to sunrise, during
the continuance of the lease.
The bridges ate to be built with such piles, timber, scantling,
and plank, as shall render them perfe&ly substantial and secure in
the opinion of the commillioners, and are to be of a futficient
height to protett 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.
Allowance for cairiage way, 20 feet.
Do. for foot walks, railed off on each fide, 4 feet each, 8 feet.
Do. for balluftrades, i 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 a£t.
The following are the terms which the commissioners are au
•horifed to offer to contractors :
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 pre
sent rates of ferriage.
From as accurate an eflimatc as could pofifiblv be obtained, the
a&ual receipts of the ferries for a medium of five years last past,
amount to twelve hundred pounds, New-Jerfev currency, per
annum, three-fourths of that sum will confequentlv produce an
mmediate income of 900 pounds per aim. This mav fairly be
eftimatcd as the fmallett profit that can be calculatcd upon. The
advancing population of the United States, the increasing inter
com V between the two cities of New-York and Philadelphia, the
facility which the conftru&ion of these bridges will give to travel
ing, the easy communication thereby offered with the state of
New-York, on the western fide of the Hudson, are all important
drcumftances, which must neceflarily tend rapidly to accumulate
the profits of the bridges. The commiflioncrs 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 shall be determined on where the bridges
are to be fixed, and the contra&s for eie&ing them are executed,
the roads and causeways will be immediately undertaken.
Such persons therefore as may be inclined to contrast on the
above principles, will be pleased to fend in their terms sealed,
within three months from this date, to William Max w f. i. l,
Esq. in New-York, fpecifying the shortest period of lease for
which they will undertake to ereftthe said bridges, together with
proper security for performing the fame.
