NOTE.—Rural delivery means that the successful tenderer may be called upon to deliver to and remove from boxes erected by settlers on the roadside all mail-matter to or from the holders free of charge.

The lowest or any tender will not necessarily be accepted. The attention of intending tenderers is directed to the terms and conditions of contract printed at the back of the tender forms.

In the event of a tender for service No. 2 being accepted in preference to a tender for service No. 7, the successful tenderer will be required to take over the whole of the coaching plant and horses of the present contractor for the carriage of mails between Pahiatua and Pongaroa, on terms fixed by two arbitrators, one of whom shall be appointed by the successful tenderer, and the other by the present contractor for the Pahiatua–Pongaroa service.

Successful tenderers will be required to show that they are in a position to satisfactorily carry out the services.

Contractors whose tenders may be accepted must be prepared to carry out the services for which they tender according to time-tables framed by the Department. Where the tender is over £500 for any one service, the attention of the tenderer is directed to clauses 28 and 29 of the terms and conditions.

Forms of tender, with the terms and conditions of contract, may be procured at any post-office.

No tender will be considered unless made on the printed form.
