OFFICIAL, TABLE OF DISTANCES FOR THE GUIDANCE OF DISBURSING OFFICERS OF THE ARMY CHARGED WITH PAYMENT OF MONEY ALLOWANCES FOR TRAVEL BY AUTHORITY OF THE SECRETARY OF WAR WASHINGTON GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE 1918 WAR DEPARTMENT, WASHINGTON, MARCH 8, 1918. The following table of distances, prepared by the Quartermaster Corps, is published for the information and guidance of disbursing officers of the Quartermaster Corps charged with payment of money for mileage or other travel based on distance. It is the result of a careful comparison and combination of the best official data available, the figures and routes being brought up to this date and based upon the consideration of com parative cost, distance, and time, which determine the choice of the shortest usually traveled route contemplated by law. This table will supersede all similar publications heretofore issued from any branch of the War Department, and will take effect April 15, 1918, from which date it will be recognized authority for estimation of distances until corrected by competent authority. The figures upon the right of the names in the table indicate the total distance. Where figures occur upon the left, they indicate the miles of free and 50 per cent land-grant railroads, over which officers, when traveling on duty and without troops, should procure transportation in kind from the Quartermaster Corps. It is ordered that hereafter post commanders shall report without delay to the Quarter master General the abandonment of old or the establishment of new lines of travel to or from their respective posts, and when a new route is opened, involving travel by stage or buckboard, shall report as to the carrying capacity forpassengers, the number of trips made a week, the distance, and the authority therefor, and such other information as may have a bearing in the determination of its practicability as a route for passenger t raffic.
