be inclined to contra& ;
The fUuation of the bridge across the Hackinfack river, will b<-
atone of (he following IWions, as shall be hereafter determined
mod eligible.
lft. At the place where the present ferry is eftabliflied, where

The situation of tfe bridge across the PafTjick river, will be at
one of rhe three following stations, as (hall be hereafter determin
ed most eligible.
lft. At the place where the present fei ry is eftablifbed, wher
the width of the river is 676 feet.
Depth at the eastern (bore 8 feet 6 inch'es,

the town of Newark, where the width of the river is 526 feet.
Depth at the eastern shore 4 feet 5 inchcs,

Created depth 15 11
The bridges are to be coivftrutted on the principlesof those erect
ed over Charles, Myftick, and Beverly Rivers in the State of Mas
sachusetts, with a draw to ?dmit a free paflage for vefTels with fix
ed {landing masts, not less than twenty-four feet vide, to he pla
ced in such part of the bridges as shall be determined moll con
venient for the navigation of the river, with piles or blocks on
each fide of the entrance of such draw, as (ball be judged fufficiert
to aid vefTels in parting through. Also, one lamp on each fide of
the draw, to be lighted every night from sunset to fanrife, during
the continuance of the lease.
The bridges a«e to be built with such piles, timber, fcant'ling,
and plank, as fbaU render them peifeftiy substantial ard secure in
he opinion of the commiflioners, and arc to be of a fufficicnt
height to protest rhem against the tides, which rife at ordinary
tides from 5 to 6 feet, and at spring tides trom 8 to 10 feet. They
are to be 31 feet in breadth, viz.
Allowance for cairiage way, 20 feet,
Do. for font wailcs, railed oil on each fide, 4 feet each, 8 feet.
Do. for balluftrades, 1 foot each, 2 tcet.
Do. for hand-railsfor 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 furrendcred in good order,
agreeably to the a£t.
The following are the terms which the commissioners arc au
thorised to offer to contractors :
A lease of the exclusive privilege of the bridges for a period not
exceeding 99 years, with atoll equal to three-fourths of the pre
sent rates of ferriage.
From as accurate an estimate 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 ium will consequently produce an
immediate income of 900 pounds per arm. 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 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 neceflarily tend rapidly to accumulate
the profits of the bridges. The commiGioners 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 contrass for etefting them are executed,
the roads and causeways will be immediately undertaken.
Such persons therefore as may be inclined to contract on the
above principles, will be pleased to fend in their terms sealed,
within three months from this date, to Wi llum Maxw ell,
Efo. in New-York, fpecifying the fhortcft period of lease for
which they will undertake to erefb the said bridges, together with
proper security for performing the fame.
