formation relative to the manner in which tne division is proposed to be mrde. Persons making proposals will be pleased to attend to the following outlines : 1 . 't not beinp intended to require any advance of money for improvements that l.ave been made, nor for any metal now employed in the manufacture of Salt at those works; the most effectual stipulations to keep the works constantly in good order, to keep the requisite quantity of metal inconstant me, and to ieturn at the expiration ( 1 the Ica1' works in the best order for continiuire t e manufactory of suit, in a sui: . oup lease, (including for that object any change of the lines of pipes, which the operation of the business may render necessary) will be required. 2. Tne usual restrictions to prevent the waste of timbers, and disorderly be haviour at the works, Will be inserted in the contract. 3. The greatest quantity of salt that can be made w ill be required to be made 4. The highest price at which the sait will be allowed to be sold, will be 75 cts. per bushel, at which price a right v ill be reserved to the government to purchase the w note, or any part thereof. 5. ne object of dividing the premises being to derive every possible benefit from fair competition, it is intended to prescribe such regulations, as will preclude any one lessee from being either directly or indirectly concerned with any Other lessee, or in any other manufactory of salt ; and at the ame time prevent the competition from degenerating into unfair opposition, or a resort to any means injorious to the w orks. 6 A violation of the stipulations contained in any lease proposed to be made will produce a forfeiture thereof; and the possession of the lessee is to be considered of such a qualified nature, as to im-
pose no aimcuity wnatever on tne prt of the government, to prevent its taking immediate possession of the leased premises ami disposing of them as it shail think proper 7. The highest rent proposed to be given, will naturally claim the preference But it must be distinctly un k -r-stood, that the character and ability of the
person making proposals to perform the
contract, not i ss than the proposal
themselves, will be taken into consideration, and none need make proposals with the hope of obtaining any future alteration of their contracts, in consequence
of any casualty to which theworlf
