REDUCED RATES TO THE GENERAL CONFERENCE
By L. A. Hoopes
In addition to the notice published in the REVIEW of March 12, we have to say that we have had word from the Central Passenger Association that the rate of one fare for the round trip has been granted, in compliance with the rate made by the Michigan Passenger Association. We expected the Western Association would report in time to have definite notice inserted in this REVIEW. It is thought that the Western Passenger Association will concur in the rate; but no definite word has been received from the secretary, although several of the leading lines have expressed themselves as favorable. In the Michigan, the Central, and the Western Passenger associations (the territory of which extends from Denver to Buffalo and Ohio River points) ironclad signature tickets to Battle Creek will be on sale on any of the days between March 31 and April 3, inclusive, at one fare for the round trip, good to return on or before April 25. If there is a total of one hundred persons from the Southeastern Passenger Association (the territory south of the Ohio River) who secure the standard form of certificate for each ticket purchased, at full fare, over the several roads on which they come, and present these to me at this place for signature, they will be allowed to return at one-third fare; tickets to be purchased on the dates already mentioned.
