that the non-arrival on time was due solely to delay in the mails for which the bidder was not responsible,

such bid may be received and considered. No responsibility will attach to Lee County or the County

authorized, telegraphic bids will not be considered, but modifications by telegraph of bids already submitted

will be considered if received prior to the hour set for opening.

others properly interested who may be present either in person or by representation.
