31?t day of May next, for Airmailing and delivering
at the navy-yard, Charleatown, Maaaachuaetta, on
or before the firat day of July, 1846, four hundred
tonaof water-rotted hemp.
Thia hemp muat be eaual to the Riga Rein hemp
now at the navy-yard, Charleatown. In deciding
upon offera, preference will be given to American
hemp, if offered at equal or lower price than may be
uaked for foreign hemp. The hemp muat be eubject
to inapecuon and approval at the navy-yard,
Charleatown, Maaaachuaetta, by peraona to be appointed,
by and under inatructiona from thia Bureau,
and none will be received which ahall not
?WWI IIIP^WHVUI
Persons who may wish to furnish hemp perfectly
free from tow, end ready for spinning, can forward
septuate proposals for such hemp; wnich hemp, if
the proposals should be accepted, must, like the other,
be subject to inspection and approval st said
navy-yard before it will be received.
Persons making offers must state the price asked
per ton of 3,240 pounds, delivered at said navyyard,
and must forward with them an obligation
from two persons of sufficient property to become
sureties for the fulfilment of the contract to be entered
into, in one-third the amount of said contract.
To diminish the hazard to contractors of forwarding
hemp from the western States, which may not
be of proper quality, or sufficiently well prepared,
the Secretary of the Navy has appointed two agents,
who will, when requested, inspect hemp that may
be prepared and intended to fulfil contracts to be made
under this advertisement. One of these agents will
inspect the hemp that may be sent to Louisville,
Kentucky, and the other that which may be sen
to St Louis, in Missouri. These agents will be
furnished with samples of the Riga Rein hemp, excepting
for hemp fully prepared fbr spinning, and
with the means of testing the strength of hemp, and
will be ready to give all information in their power,
to enable contractors to have their hemp properly
prepared, and to ascertain the strength and character
of it, before the expense of sending it to the navy-yard
is incurred. It must be distinctly understood,
however, that the inspection and opinion of
these agents is merely to diminish the risk to contractors,
by furnishing useful information. The only
inspection by which the hemp can be finally received
and paia for will be that at the navy-yard
where it is to be delivered.
In addition to the bonds which will be required
fbr the faithful performance of the contract, ten per
centum will be deducted from the amount of all bills
for deliveries, and retained until the completion of
the contract, as additional security for iu performance.
The remaining ninety per centum will be
paid within thirty davs after bills, duly approved,
hall be presented to the navy agent at Boston,
Massachusetts.
