 Alternate Tender of Messrs. Beavis & Redway 
 
 To the Cludrman and Comtiiltlie of A«hbrid<je'n Buy : 
 
 Gentlemen,— W(> liorowitli phiee before you an alternative tendor us advertiseii for, 
 carrying; out tla- specifications of your late Knj^ineer. 
 
 Althoujjh some of the clauses are needless and foolish, an.! the outlet from Coatsworth's 
 cut iin|)ractical>le and utterly useless for what it is intended, and at the same time we 
 wish to state that if the City authorities do carry out the reclanialiou on a money liafus, 
 it will appear like a lircaeh of faith to the citizens' vote on the uth of January, IMiil. 
 However, we will reelaim Ashhrid;,'e's liay, Imild jetties, docks and wharves, .Irive piles, Imild 
 brid(,'es and roads, in fact carry out tln^ reclanuition aecordinf,' to the plan and spicitieations 
 of tlio late Entjineer (the plan Ijeini; a copy of our own, with the exception of the eastern 
 outlet and one or two minor details), at a cost of foui nnllion one hun.lred and fifty thousand 
 dollars (*4, 1 50,000), and after arranginj; with the i)roperty owners, will place in the hands 
 of the City 8250,000, as surety for the faithful fulfil inent of our contiaet. 
 
 We will also carry out the extension of the Don improvements into the channel, at such 
 rates !is may be agreed upon between ourselves anil the (Mty.

 TENDER No. 2. 
 
 TOKONTO, October 31st, 1891. 
 Edward Hewitt, Esq., and Gentlemen of the Aahhridge's Bay Committee, City Hall, Toront»: 
 
 Gen'TLEMEK,— As the City Council have called for tenders for the reclamation of Ashbridge's 
 Bay, instead of accepting the offer made in that behalf by ourselves on 4th of December, 1889, 
 and as we are still prepared, and willing to carry out the work in accordance with the plans 
 and specifications prepared by us for that purpose, we ask leave to re-submit our offer herewith. 
 This is without prejudice to any rights or privileges that may be found to belong to us under 
 our original ofTer— the same proposal that we have already had the honor of laying before the 
 Council, the particula.is of which are also attached hereto, and which received the assent of the 
 qualified ratepayers at the election on the 5th of January, 1891 
 
 We have also nicorporated with this tender all the clauses of the specification approved of 
 by the City Council, which appear to us to be in accord with the proposal which 1ms received 
 the public sanction. 
 
 We beg to state further regarding the eastern cut and entrance piers, or in regard to 
 dredging, piling and filling required to complete the Don Improvement, or any other work 
 recjuh-ed by the City or Department of Public Works, or in altering the outlet easterly into the 
 lake, the building of lighthouse or lighthouses, as the Department of Public Works may deem 
 right and proper? that the above works will be construct-d by us accor<ling to speciHcations, the 
 City or Government paying for the same, as they and the Company may agree. 
 
 We also beg leave to stute that after years of work and study, we are satisfied that no 
 better plan can be adopted, and that it should be carried out in its entirety, giving the ('ity and 
 citizens nearly 90 acres of park property, and over three miles of lake front not to be excelled 
 on the continent of America, and producing taxable property in the interest of the City and 
 Ontario generally, for any and every manufacturing purpose required, without costing the (hty 
 one dollar. 
 
 We would also beg leave to refer here to the matter of deposit, the amount of which is of 
 little consequence when taken in considiiratioii with the enterprise, and would suggest to your 
 honorable body, that as we have already been to a great expcn.se arranging matters with the

 We woiihi ivNo (with due respect to the Council) refer to a statement made hy Alileniian 
 Hall, we hulieve, to the ell'irt that if the lease was (granted, nothinjf could he done this winter. 
 Now, for the worthy AMi'iiiian's edilicition, wi' will point out siine little work and husiness 
 that fiiiilil nni\ inn/lil In hi- dune this winter. 
 
 1st. — Otfices, tool houses, lilafksiiiith's and repair shops, could lii> lilted at once. 
 
 :2iid.— There ai'e two dredjres to he liuilt (plans of which are alreailv ilrawn) adapted 
 ijxpressly for this work, and to he ready for operation on or hefoie thi' 1st of May, 1H!I2. costing 
 nearly S*.')0,')00, one to he i)laced at the east, the other at the west end. These di>;dj;es will not 
 stop work after once .startiuf,', except for rejiaiis or on Sundays, and it may he ni^jhts, for a fi-W 
 vxckn, hut it i.s the intention of this Company (as soon as ])racticiihlo) to run the dredfjes niyht 
 find (1(1)1 until the main chaiuiel is completed. They will he huilt thin irintcr ijoa srr. 
 
 ;)i-,l, — There are piledriver.s, .scows and piatforins to hnild, piledrivers which will work on 
 land, or a scow, or if it froze solid, will drive on tlio ico, and piles can he driven on Ashhridge's 
 Bay on rlie ice with more economy than in any other way, that is, in winter. 
 
 4.tli.— Upwards of :10.()00,00() feet of timher for pilin;; and other usai,'es can he procured at 
 the stump, and placed from there on the works cheaper and in hotter shape in the winter than 
 any other time of the year. 
 
 A word in regard to the outlet at Coat.sworth's Cut. We have 2 plans drawtl, either one of 
 which, if carried out will inako one of the finest entrances from the lake into the channel, and 
 
 have no doubt, when seen, will be adopted by the authorities.
