THE Postmaster General fears that large

bidders. They will commence the service so
as 10 insure the return OF their certified
checks which they were required under the
Jaw 10 deposit with their bids, as security
INA they would not execute their contracts
8id then become falling contractors In
SUCH cases temporary service must be
promptly contracted for during q period not
exceeding six months. Heretofore such fail
IrfS lave almost uniformly resulted i'm put
ting the service in the hands of the old con-
tractors on the routes, who were ready with
their stock TO perform IL, and at such prices
as they might dictate Anticipating the
recurrence of these failures after the Isl of
July next, at which time the new service
viii commence, the Postmaster General now
announces that in every case of failure on an
important route he will give notice of it
through the press dispatches, and withhold a
contract for temporary service until others
besides the old contractors shall have an OPP
poTtunity TO offer to do it,"
