Central Passenger Association grants rate for national gatherings
The association approves a rate of 1 cent per mile for ten national gatherings this summer.

About 15 other organizations are denied the rate, as they are unlikely to draw 1,000 delegates each. The reduction is considered reasonable and beneficial to those who can use it.
