corner of Walton and Gore Streets, where rates on the European plan 

 have been secured, ranging from $1.00 to $3.50 per day. Members

Railroad Rates 



Information in regard to railroad rates has been secured from Dr. 

 L. 0. Howard, Permanent Secretary for the American Association 

 for the Advancement of Science. 



A railroad rate of one fare and three-fifths for the round trip, on 

 the certificate plan, conditioned upon the presentation at the meeting 

 of not less than 200 certificates, has been granted by the Trunk Line 

 Association. Decision has not yet been received from the New Eng- 

 land Passenger Association, but it is believed that it will concur in 

 the same arrangement. The Central and the Eastern Canadian 

 Passenger Associations have refused concessions. 



{As the above reduction in the rate to fare and three-fifths is contingent 

 upon the presentation of a minimum of 200 certificates, as against a 

 minimum of 100 as in previous years, every member traveling from the 

 Trunk Line and the New England Passenger Association territories 

 is urged to procure his certificate. Failure to do this may residt in less 

 than 200 certificate^^ being presented and, as a consequence all other 

 members from this territory will be deprived of the reduced rate on the 

 return trip.) 



The following directions are submitted for the guidance of members 

 traveling from the Trunk Line and the New England Passenger 

 Association territory:

 three days prior to, and during the first three days of the meeting. 

 The advertised dates of the meeting are December 29, 1913, to Jan- 

 uary 3, 1914, consequently you can obtain your tickets not earlier 

 than December 25, 1913, and not later than December 31, 1913. 



From points located at a great distance, from which it takes more 

 than three days to reach Atlanta, going tickets may be purchased 

 on a date which will permit members to reach Atlanta by December 

 29, 1913. 



2. Present yourself at the railroad station for ticket and certificate 

 at least thirty minutes before departure of the train, 



3. Certificates are not kept at all stations. If you inquire at your 

 station you will find out whether certificates and through tickets 

 can be obtained to the place of meeting. If not obtainable at your
