That no part of the appropriation made by this act shall be paid out of the Treasury until a contract is entered into with responsible parties, with good and sufficient sureties, to be approved by the Secretary of War, for the construction and completion of said bridge, including the approaches, at a cost not exceeding the sum hereby appropriated. Said bridge, when reconstructed, shall be free to all travelers.
That this act shall be in force from and after its passage and approval.
