RAILROAD RATES 



The railroads have generally authorized a 

 reduced rate of two cents per mile each way, 

 on the card-order plan. In order to get the 

 benefit of these reduced rates, a card order, 

 which can only be secured from the office of 

 the permanent secretary. Dr. L. 0. Howard, 

 Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D. C, 

 must first be obtained. A card is only good 

 for one ticket, and should a member be accom- 

 panied by any members of his family, he will 

 require a card for each person. Members ex- 

 pecting to attend the meeting will therefore 

 advise the permanent secretary immediately of 

 the number of cards desired. 



Members residing in the territory of the 

 Western Passenger Association and of the 

 Southwestern Passenger Association are re- 

 ferred to the reduced rates granted by those 

 associations for the holiday season, which will 

 give them practically the same rate as has 

 been granted by other passenger associations, 

 and will obviate the necessity of obtaining a 

 card order.
