called for in the advertisement Ia difficult or i'm
practicable at certain seasons 10 substitute an ine
rior mode of conveyance, or to intermit service a
specified number of days, weeks, or months. lie
may propose TO omit an Office that is inaccessible
or is not ON the stage road, the railway, or at q
| steamboat landing, as the case may be; or he may
offer TO substitute inferior mode OF supply in such
cases. He may propose different days and hours
of departure and arrival, provided no more running
time is asked, and il is obvious that mail con-
nexion other public accommodation is preju-
diced. He may ask for more running time 10 the
trip, during specified number of days, at certain
seasons of peculiarly bad roads; but beyond these
changes proposal for service different from the
advertisement will prevent its being considered in
competition with regular bid not set aside for
travagance; and where a bid contains any of the
above alterations their Disadvantages will be esti
mated in comparing it with other proposals.
