N. B.—Bidders are required to submit their estimates upon the following express conditions, which shall apply to and become part of every estimate received :

xst. Bidders must satisfy themselves, by personal ex- | amination of the location of the proposed diedging, j and by such other means as they may prefer, as to the accuracy of the foregoing Engineers, estimate, and shall not, at any time after the submission of an esti­mate, dispute or complain of the above statement of quantities, nor assert that there was any misunderstand­ing in regard to the nature or amount of the work to be done.

2d. Bidders will be required to complete the entire work to the satisfaction of the _ Department of Docks, and in substantial accordance with the specifications of the contract. No extra compensation, beyond the amount payable for the work before mentioned, which shall be actually performed, at the price therefor per cubic yard, in each class, to be specified by the lowest bidder, shall be due or payable for the entire work.

The work to be done under the contract is to be com­menced within five days after the date of the contract, and the entire work is to be fully completed on or before the fourth day of September, 1888, ana the damages to be 1 paid by the contractor for each day that the contract . may be unfulfilled after the time fixed for the fulfillment has expired, are, by a clause in the contract, fixed and liquidated at Fifty Dollars per day.

All the material excavated is to be removed by the contractor, and deposited in all respects according to law.

Bidders will state in their estimates a price per cubic yard, in each c'ass, for doing such dredging in conformity with the approved form of agreement and the specifica­tions therein set forth, by which price the bids will be tested. These prices are to cover all expenses of every kind involved in or incidental to the fulfillment of the j contract, including any claim that may anse through | delay from any cause, in the performing of the work thereunder.

Bidders will distinctly write out, both in words and in figures, the amount of their estimates for doing each class oi this work.

The person or persons to whom the contract may be awarded will be required to attend at this office with the sureties offered by him or them, and execute the contract within five days irom the date of the service of a notice to that effect; and in case of failure or neglect so to do, he or they will be considered as having abandoned it, and as in default to the Corporation; and the contract will be readvertised and relet, and so on until it be accepted and executed.

Bidders are required to state in their estimates their names and places of residence ; the names of all persons interested with them therein, and if no other person be so interested, the estimate shall distinctly state the fact; also that the estimate is made without any connection with any other person making an estimate for the same work, and that it is in all respects fair and without col­lusion or fraud ; and also, that no member of the Com­mon Council, head of a department, chief of a bureau, deputy thereof or clerk therein, or other officer of the Corporation, is directly or indirectly interested therein, or in the supplies or work to which it relates, or in any portion of tne profits thereof; which estimate must be verified by the oath, in writing, of the party making the estimate, that the several matters stated therein are in all respects true. Where more than one person is inter­ested, it is requisite tha t the verification be made and subscribed to by n il the parties interested.

Each estimate shall be accompanied by the consent, in writing, of two householders or freeholders in the City of New York, w ith their respective places o f busi- | ness or residence, to the effect that if the contract be 1 awarded to the person or persons makiug the estimate, they will, upon its being so awarded, become bound as his or their sureties for its faithful performance ; and that if said person or persons shall omit or refuse to execute the contract, they will pay to the Corporation of the City of New York any difference between the sum to which said person or persons would be entitled upon its completion, and that which said Corporation may be obliged to pay to the person to whom the contract may be awarded at any subsequent letting ; the amount in each case to be calculated upon the estimated amount of the work to be done, by which the bids are tested.

NOTICE TO CROTON WATER CONSUMERS.

Numerous applications have beenmade to this Department by citizens claiming

reductions or rebates on bills for water supplied through meters, on the alleged ground of leakage caused by Se­lective plumbing and worn-out service pipes, or by willful waste of water by tenants allowing the faucets to be turned on in full force in water-closets, sinks, etc., with­out the knowledge or consent of the owners of the prem­ises.

The main object of tbe use of water-metefs is to enable this Department to detect and check the useless and un­warrantable waste of an element so valuable and essential to the health and comfort of all the citizens, and this ob­ject can only be accomplished by enforcing payment for the water wasted.

Under the law all charges for water supphed through meters are a lien againsc the respective premises, and the law therefore holds the owner of the premises re­sponsible for the amount of water used or wasted.

Notice is therefore -.iven to all householders that, mail further applications lor reduction of water rents, no allowance will be made on account of waste of water occurring through leaks, from defective service pipes or plumbing, or wasteful use of water by tenants or occu­pants of buildings, though such leakage or waste may nave occurred without the knowledge or consent of the owners of the buildings.

House-owners are further notified that whenever their premises become vacant, and are likely to remain vacant, they must notify this Department in writing, and that unless this requirement is complied with no deductions in extra water rents will he allowed for any portion of one year,
