The Southern Passenger Association
viii meet in New York next Thursday
for The purpose of fixing winteptourist
rates to al points whepe-they will be
sold, and for making tbep conditions on
which the sales -stch tickets viii be
made.
1t is not known positively, but il is be
heved the matter of tourist rates 10
points north of Jacksonville, including
Savannah, will be brought up for discus
sion. There has been considerable pres
sure brought to bear in the matter, and
tits the general opinion ana belief that
Savannah should have the tourist rate.
There is no doubt that the matter will be
brought to tho attention of the associa-
ton, but with what results remains to be
seen.
SO far as the Central railroad is con
Cerned this is its principal terminal point,
and tickets can he bought from all west
ern coupon points to Savannah at the win
ter tourist rate during the entire season.
IN addition 70 that, tickets viii probably
be on sale from all important western
coupon points to Jacksonville through Sa-
vauuah with a fIteeu-day transit limit.

THE PENNSYLVANIA OBJECTS.
II is said the Pennsylvania railroad is
largely responsible for the fact that Sa-
vannah has not been made a tourist
point. The claim of the officials of that
line is that Savannah is a large CONNER
cial point, and that there is good deal of
travel here from the east at all seasons,
and they say if they allowed tourist
tickets to be put on sale they would lose a
great deal through the immense scalDing
business that would be done here. They
say it would thus seriously affect their
revenue, and they don't think it would be
TO their interest to do So
They make the argument, too. that if a
tourist ticket were allowed for Savannah
the demands of Charleston, Brunswick
Wilmington and perhaps other points
WotI4 nave 10 De acceoea 10 II was
and Peninsular railroad was bei9r bniit
from jacksonville to Savannah that that
road would give this CITY a tourist ticket
this year.
