Also, one lamp on each fide, of the draw, to be lighted every night from sunset to sunrise, during tfee rontinuance of the lease. 125000 The bridges aie to be built with such piles, timber, scantling, and plank, as shall render them perfc&ly substantial and secure in the opinion of the commissioners, and are to be of a futficicnt height to prote£fc them against the tides, which rife at ordinary tides from sto 6 feet, and at spring tides from 8 to 10 feet.

Thij may fairly be estimated as the smallest profit that can lie 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 conftru&ion of these bridges will give 10 travel ling, the cafy communication thereby offered with the Hate of New-York, on the weßern fide of the Hadfon, are all important circumstances, which must necessarily tend rapidly to accumulate the profits of the bridges.
