I will contract for the section of the Cumberland Road, between Indianapolis, and the (Illinois or Ohio state line, as the case may be) and will complete it by the time, and as required by the Superintendents, on the following terms, to wit : For cutting down and removing the timber, rounding and trimming the stumps on the centre thirty feet, as required, at dollars per mile. As a considerable number who hold land over which the road passes have not as yet relinguished their claims to the United States to the width of said road, it is to be distinctly understood, that not a tree is to be cut down on such parts of the road ; and in order that persons may not lay in proposals for such non-relinquishments, we give the following list of names and situation of the land over which the United States have no control, having obtained no relinquishments, to wit:
