REDUCED RATES TO THE GENERAL CONFERENCE
By L. A. Hoopes
In the last Review we stated that the Michigan Passenger Association will grant reduced rates to the General Conference, at one and one-third fare for the round trip; and that application had been made to the other associations. The secretary of the Michigan Passenger Association informs me that a concession has been made on all the roads in the lower peninsula of Michigan, of an ironclad signature ticket, of one fare for the round trip, tickets to be sold from March 31 to April 3, inclusive; to be used going on date of purchase, with return limit, April 25. We have received a telegram from Chicago, stating that the Central and Western Passenger associations will concur in the rate made by the Michigan Passenger Association; namely, one fare for the round trip. The territory covered by these associations is all east of the Rocky Mountains, as far east as Buffalo, Pittsburg, and Ohio River points. States south of and including Kentucky and Tennessee, and east of and including Mississippi, are in the territory of the Southeastern Passenger Association, the officials of which have informed us that they will grant a concession of one fare and a third, on the certificate plan, providing one hundred are in attendance holding certificates. We will explain details next week; have sent notices to the Conference papers. Notice has been received from the Trunk lines, in New York, stating that they can not concur in the plan of the Michigan Association.
