one sum of compensation, cannot be considered in
competition with regular proposal, not adjudged to
be extravagant
IL. A bidder may propose different days and hours

ton or other public accommodation is prejudiced--
He may ask for specified number Of days for more
running time to the trip at certain seasons of pecu
arly bad roads. But beyond these changes, propo-
sal for service different from the advertisement will
prevent its being considered in competition with
regular bid, not set aside for extravaganza ; and
where a bid contains any of the above alterations,
their disadvantages will be estimated in comparing it
with other proposals.
