The bridges are to be conftrutted on the principlesof those ercfl
ed over Charles, Myftick, and Beverly Rivers in the State of Mas
sachusetts, with a draw to admit a free pafTage for vetTels with fix
ed standing mails, not left than twenty-four feet wide, to be 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 shall be judged fufficient
to aid veffelsin palling through. Also, one lamp on each fide of
the draw, to be lighted every night from sunset to sunrise, during
the continuance of the Icafe.
The bridges aie to be built with such piles, timber, scantling,
and plank, as shall render them perfc6Uy fubflantial and fccure in
the opinion of the commiflioners, a-nd are to be of a fulficient
height to protett them against the tides, which rife at ordinary
tides from 5 to 6 feet, and at lpring tides from 8 to 10 feet. They
are to be 31 feet in breadth, viz.
Allowance for carnage way, 2c feet.

The following are the terms which the commiflioncrs are au
thor 1 fed to offer to contradlois :
A lease of the exclusive privilege of the bridges fer a period not
exceeding 99 years, with a toll equal to three-fourths of the pro
sent rates of ferriage.
From as accurate an estimate as could poflibly be obtained, the
a&ual receipts of the ferries for a medium of five years kill past,
amount to twelve hundred pounds, New-Jerfev currency, per
annum, three-fourths of that sum will consequently produce an
immediate income of gco pounds per aim. 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 conftru6lion of these bridges will give 10 travel
ing, the caly communication thereby oflered with the (late 01
A r ew-York, on the western fide of the Hudson, are all important
cii cumftanc.es, which mull necessarily 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 corine£led
with the bridges, and have a lottery now on foot for that purpose.
As soon as the plaees shall be determined on where the bridges
are to be fixed, and the contra£ls for ete£ling 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 to Willi Maxwf.ll,
, ln , ISew : York » Specifying the shortest period of lease for
which they will undertake to crest the said bridges, together with
proper fccurity for performing the fame.
