At the place where the present ferry is eftablifbed, where the width of the river is 1448 feet. Depth at the eastern shore, 8 feet 8 inches. Do. western (bore, 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 fbore 19 feet 10 inches. Do. western fbore 12 Greatest depth 35 8 The situation of the bridge across the PafTaick river, will be at one of the three following stations, as (ball be hereafter determin ed most eligible. lft. At the place where the present feiry is eftablifbed, where the width of the river is 676 feet. Depth at the eastern fbore 8 feet 6 inches, Do. western shore 9 6 Greatest depth 17 2d. At a place more weflerly, called Beef-Point, where the breadth of the river is 799 feet. Depth at the eastern fbore 11 feet, Do. western shore 4 5 inches, Greatest depth 13 4 3d.

Depth at the eastern fbore 4 feet 5 inches, Do. wefttrn (bore 10 8 Greatest depth 15 11 The bridges are to be conftrufcted 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 passage for veflels with fix ed (landing masts, not lefsthan twenty-four feet wide, to be pla ced in such part of the bridges as (hall be determined mod 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 veflels in pafling 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. (c p. 3 m. The bridges ate to be built with such piles, timber, scantling, and plank, as {ball render them perfe&ly substantial 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. Allowance for cairiage way, 20 feet. Do. for foot walks, railed off on each fide, 4 feet each, 8 feet. Do. for balluftrades, 1 foot each r 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 in constant repair, and at the expiration of the lease are to be (urrendered in good order, agreeably to the a6t. The following arc the terms which the commiflioners are au thorised to offer to contrattors : A lcafc 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 estimate as could poflibly be obtained, the aflual rtceiptsof 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 consequently produce an immediate income of goo pounds per ann. This may 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 weflern fide of the Hudson, are all important circumstances, which must neceflarily tend rapidly to accumulate the profits of the bridges. The commissioners are moreover au thorized by law to raise four thousand pounds to be applied to wards making causeways and laying out proper roads connected withthebridges, 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 eiefting them are executed, the roads and causeways will be immediately undertaken. Such persons therefore as maybe inclined to contract on the above principles, will be pleased to fend in their terms sealed, within three months from this date, to William Maxwell, E(q. in New-York, fpecifying the (honed period of lease for which they will undertake to ereftthe said bridges,together with proper fecunty for performing the fame.
