(30.) In addition to the above instructions, officers are enjoined to comply strictly with the directions in the marginal notes.

(31.) The contracts being made up of the bond, tender, and letter of acceptance, and, in the case of tourist mail-coach services, the schedule of passenger and parcel rates, and special conditions attaching to such services, care should be taken that these documents are securely fastened together prior to execution, and that the identification clause in the margin of the tender and letter of acceptance are signed by contractor and sureties.

(32.) If any material erasure or interlineation has been made in the bond or tender, it is advisable that the same be noticed by each witness placing his initials against the erasure or interlineation at the time of execution. No erasure or interlineation can be made after the execution. When any alteration is found to be necessary, it is better to prepare a new bond.

(33.) In cases where any real difficulty presents itself, or there may be doubt as to the course to be adopted, it will be better at once to refer the matter to the Inspector than to have the trouble of trying to rectify matters afterwards, when the necessary parties may not be available, or the improper execution or attestation may otherwise be incapable of correction.
