trip, during specified number of days, at certain
seasons OF peculiarly bad roads; but beyond these
changes a proposal for service different from the

competition with regular bid not set aside for
trayagance; and where bid contains any Of the
above alterations their disadvantages will be esti-
mated in comparing il with other proposals.
