27. — list of railroads furnishing transportation at reduced 



rates: 



It has already been mentioned that the railroads of the country in 

 general have transported the cars of the Commission at a rate of 20 

 cents per mile, this including the fare of five messengers — a figure very 

 much less than the usual charge for such service, and showing the 

 favorable consideration entertained by the companies toward the work 

 of the Commission. In some cases 10 cents per mile has been charged ; 

 in other cases 5; and again, for many thousands of miles the service 

 has been conducted without any cost whatever to the Commission. The 

 only road that charged any more than 20 cents is the Union Pacific, on 

 the trip to Ogden, Utah, and return, during the latter part of i!^o- 

 vember.
