[Sidenote: Payment of commuted rate.]

It is not necessary that the commuted rate on newspapers should be paid
absolutely on the first day of each quarter. The regulation is intended
to be carried out with all possible consideration for the convenience of
the public, and it will be sufficient if the person desiring to pay the
commuted rate declares his intention and offers the payment when first
calling at the office within a reasonable time after the commencement of
the quarter; but after having made his option to pre-pay the commuted
charge, or to pay for his papers as received at one cent each, as the
case may be, postmasters are not expected to alter their newspaper
accounts to allow of a change until the commencement of the next
quarter.

The commuted rate of payment can be accepted from new subscribers during
a quarter for any unexpired period of the quarter not less than a month.
