SEALED PROPOSALS (endorsed proposal* for
hemp) will l>* received at this Bureau until th?
llat day of May neat, for famishing and delivering
it (lie navv-yard, Charleatown, Massachusetts, on
>r before the first day of July, 1846, four hundred
onsof water-rotted hemp.
This hemp must be eoual to the Riga Rein hemp
row at the navy-yard, Charleatown. In deciding
ipon oners, preference will be given lo American
temp, if offered at equal or lower price than may be
taked for foreign hemp. The hemp must be tubed
to inspection and approval at the navv-ymrd,
2harlestown, Massachusetts, by persons to be apvointed,
by and under instructions from this Bu eau,
and none will be received which shall not
>ass such inspection.
Persons who may wish to furnish hemp perfectly
ree from tow, and ready for spinning, can forward
iepai ale proposals for such hemp; which hemp, if
he proposals should be accepted, muat, like the oiht,
be subject to inspection and approval at said
lavy-yard before it will be received.
Persona making offers muat state the price asked
ter ton of 3,240 pounds, delivered at aaid navy'ard,
and must forward with them an obligation
rum two persona of sufficient property to become
unties for the fulfilment of the contract to be enered
into, in one-third the amount of aaid contract.
To diminish the hazard to contractors of forwardng
hemp from the Western States, which may not
>e of proper quality, or sufficiently well prepared,
he Secretary of the Navy has appointed two agents,
who will, when requested, inspect hemp that may
>e prepared and intended to fulfil contracts to be made
inder this advertisement. One of theee agents will
lisped the hemp that may be sent to Louisville,
Kentucky, and the other that which may be sen
o St. Louie, in Missouri. These agents will be
urnishad with samples of the Riga Rein hemp, sampling
for hemp fully prepared for spinning, and
with the meant of testing the strength of hemp, and
will be ready to give all information in their power,
o enable contractors to have their hemp properly
ire pa red, and to ascertain the strength ana chancer
of it, before the expense of sending it to the na
ry-yard ia incurred. It must be distinctly underitood,
however, that the inspection and opinion of
hese agents is merely to diminish the risk to conractors,
by furnishing useful information. The ony
inspection by which the hemp can be finally reeved
and paid for will be that at the navy-yard
vliere it ia to be delivered.
In addition to the bonds which will be required
or the faithful performance of the contract, ten per
:entum will be deducted from the amount of all bills
or deliveries, and retained until the completion of
he contract, as additional security for its performince.
The remaining ninety per centum will be
>aid within thirty days after bills, duly approved,
ihall be presented to the navy agent at Boston,
Massachusetts.
