Public street cleaners were hired, and homeowners were directed to pave in front of their houses or face fine of twenty shillings.The ferry to Long Island was contracted out for a term of seven years at a rent of one hundred and sixty-five pounds sterling per year. By the conditions of lease, the lessee was required to keep two large boats for corn and cattle, and two smaller boats for passengers. The city engaged to build a ferry-house on Nassau or Long Island, which the ferry operator was required to keep in repair.In 1699, the firing of guns within New York City was strictly forbidden.
