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