REPORT
Office of the Railroad Commission
Atlanta Ga July i 1889
Bis Excellency John B Gordon Governor etc
Sir We respectfully submit the following report of the operations of the Railroad Commission since the date of our last report
COTTON RATES
As stated in our last report the Commissioners m August adopted Circular 115 by which all per centages were removed from the rates on cotton to take effect on the first day of September thereafter but afterwards on account of the prevalence of the epidemic in Florida and for other reasons stated in the report the operation of this Circular was suspended temporarily on all shipments of cotton on and south of a line drawn from Augusta through Macon to Columbus On December 3 1888 Circular 120 which made this suspension was repealed the repeal to take effect December 10th so that now Circular 115 is in full force and the rates on cotton are uniform on all the roads doing business in the State being those fixed in Class J of the Commissioners Standard Tariff
CLASSIFICATION OF MEATS Etc
By Circular 133 issued on February 2 1889 bacon and meat in bulk in any quantity was placed in Class B which was the rate allowed before that time on those articles in car load lots The effect of this was to reduce considerably the rates on shipments of quantities less than a car load In August 1888 fresh meats poultry dressed and fresh fish in any quantity were placed in the same class All shipments however of any of the above articles in quantities less than ten thousand pounds are required to be in bales boxes or crates As many of the shipments of bacon bulk meat and fresh beef are in less than car load lots and of the other
6
articles mentioned perhaps exclusively so the change in classification will benefit consumers and was adopted in furtherance of the general policy of the Commission to prescribe as low rates as practicable for articles of prime necessity to the people
GROUPING STATIONS FOR FREIGHT CHARGES
In August 1888 the Commissioners by Circular 118 substituted groups of five miles for groups of ten in the arrangement of the stations on the lines of railroad for freight charges It was found that this change as applied to short roads worked hardship and therefore railroad companies whose line of road does not exceed ten miles in length were by Circular 134 excepted from the operation of this change
COTTON RATES BETWEEN ALBANY AND SAVANNAH
Upon an inspection of the freight tariff of the Savannah Florida Western Railway it was found that the cotton rates in force on that road between Albany Savannah violated Rule 6 of the rules governing the transportation of freight inasmuch as the rate between those points had been reduced without a corresponding reduction being made at intermediate stations the effect of which was to discriminate unjustly against those stations Attention was called by the Commissioners to this and the company was required to submit for approval a tariff which would remove this discrimination anc conform to the rule
A new tariff of cotton rates was submitted which being free from the objection specified was approved by the Commissioners and is now in force between those cities
JOINT RATES
By Circular 138 issued on April 11 1889 railroad companies whether operating as independent roads or under the same management and control in making joint rates for the transportation of local freights are authorized to charge no more than the rate fixed in the standard tariff with the percentages if any allowed computed on continuous mileage In the absence of joint rates between independent connecting roads the assessment of what is called the locals of each road made the aggregate freight charge in many instances unreasonable and with a view of remedying this evil we adopted the circular referred to The Commissioners will carefully consider special applications for joint rates in all cases when it is supposed the application of this circular will produce hardship or injustice
7
APPLICATION OF RULE ONE TO CERTAIN RAILROADS
One of the most important rules governing the transportation oi freight adopted on the organization of the Commission is known as Rule i and is as follows All connecting railroads which are under the management and control by lease ownership or otherwise of one and the same company shall for the purposes of transportation in applying the standard tariff be considered as constituting but one and the same road and the rates shall be computed as upon parts of one and the same road unless otherwise specified
With a view of determining whether any of the roads in the State to whom this rule had not been applied came within its operation on April 6 1889 we addressed a communication to certain companies calling for all agreements and contracts between said companies and other railroad companies touching the interchange of traffic and business between them and all other agreements of the companies defining their relations toward each other After carefully considering the replies received to this communication we decided that the Richmond Danville the Northeastern and the Georgia Pacific Companies came within the operation of the rule and it was accordingly applied to them and a general freight tariff was furnished them in conformity thereto to take effect July 1st 1889 After a full investigation we also determined that the Savannah Florida Western and the Brunswick Western Railroad Companies came within the rule and it was accordingly applied to them and a proper tariff furnished these companies The action of the Commissioners on the subject of this is contained in Circulars 142 and 145 hereto appended It is proper to state that the two latter companies while conforming to the decision and order of the Commission in the premises have hied in this office a written protest thereto When railroad companies by agreements or arrangements with each other bring themselves within the letter or spirit of this rule they cannot justly complain of its application to them If the people have to bear the evils and inconveniences which may result from these combinations it is but fair that they should share in the benefits and advantages derived from them One of the arguments used in favor of such combinations is that the business can be conducted more efficiently and economically under one man agement If this be true it follows that freight can be transported at lower rates and unless the charges were below what is just and reasonable when the roads were operated separately there ought to be a corresponding reduction in rates when the companies are combined under one management
APPLICATION FOR CHANGE OF WEIGHT QF CAR LOAD
OF LUMBER
In January last Stillwell Millen Co and others engaged in the manufacture and sale of lumber made application to the Commissioners for an increase in the weight of a car load of lumber from twentyfive thousand pounds to thirty thousand pounds As it was not proposed or expected that the rates per car load should be correspondingly increased the application was virtually for a reduction of rates on lumber As the Commissioners only a few months before had after a careful investigation of the subject fixed the rate at what is allowed in Class P without any per centage on all the roads in the State and had at the same time increased the weight of a car load frdm twentytwo thousand five hundred pounds to twentyfour thousand pounds and as no new facts were brought to our attention we did not feel warranted in making any change for the present Our views on the subject are set out fully in our last report and in a decision attached thereto
COMPLAINT OF OVERCHARGE ON LUMBER AT SAVANNAH
Dale Dixon Co and other lumber manufacturers whose mills are situated along the line of the Savannah Florida Western Railway complained to the Commissioners that they were subjected by the railway company to a charge of 2 io on each car load of lumber delivered over said road at the wharves of the company in Savannah in addition to the rates of freight fixed by the Commission that whilst this charge was disguised under the name of storage it was in fact an additional charge for transportation
After due notice to the parties interested we investigated this complaint in January and found the following state of facts Prior to April 1880 the railroad company was accustomed to charge 200 for transfering each car load of lumber from its freight depot or main track along its spur tracks to the wharves This was in addition to the freight charge for transporting the lumber from the mills In April 1880 the Commissioners by Circular No 6 changed the classification of lumber from Class O to Class P and prescribed twentytwo thousand five hundred pounds as the weight of a car load and at the same time provided that this rate should embrace transportation from the mills without charges for side tracks to the terminus of the companys track nearest the wharves When this circular was issued the railroad company discontinued the transfer
9
charge of 200 but about the same time began making a charge of 210 per car for what they termed storage The company justified this action insisting that the charge was a reasonable one for the use of its ground back of the wharves where the lumber was deposited to await shipment on the vessel
It appeared from the evidence that if on the arrival of lumber it was not loaded immediately on the vessel it was unloaded on the ground between the spur tracks There are eleven of these spur tracks running from what the company calls the terminus of its main line to the wharves and the distance is about one and threefourth miles It also appeared that this charge was made whether the lumber on arrival was immediately loaded on the vessel or whether it was thrown on the ground between the spur tracks to await loading and without reference to the length of time it remained on the ground It was not piled but lay just as it was thrown from the oar No shelter of any kind was provided Although the company had a guard or watchman to look after naval stores which were deposited under a shed in the neighborhood it did not appear that he was charged with any special oversight of the lumber or that the company assumed any responsibility for its safe keeping while it was lying between the tracks Undprthese circumstances we held that the charge complained of was a violation or evasion of Circular 6 before referred to and the company were directed to discontinue such charge
COMPLAINT OF STORAGE CHARGE AT BAINBRIDGE
Another complaint against the same company of a charge for storage at Bainbridge was made by A Hinds Bro and investigated by us In that case the railroad company had issued a circular to its agents directing them to make certain charges specified in the circular for storage on goods left at their depots and stations after the expiration of seventytwo hours from arrival to be computed from 10 oclock a m the day following arrival
This was clearly a case of storage and we held that we had no jurisdiction of it The contract of carriage had been fully completed and the relation of the railroad company had changed from carrier to warehouseman
The facts of the case and our conclusions are fully set out in the decision which is attached to this report
NEW RAILROADS
Since our last report three nbw railroad companies have applied for a tariff of freight and passenger rates viz the Winterville Pleasant Hill
10
Railroad Company the Eastman Dublin Railroad Company and the City Suburban Railroad Company
The tariff of the Buena Vista Ellaville Railroad Company has been changed It is operated as part of the Central system and a tariff similar to that under which the other roads of the system are working has been applied to it This involved a reduction of both passenger and freight rates
The name of the Americus Preston Lumpkin Railroad has been changed by the General Assembly to the Savannah Americus Montgomery Railway It was until recently a narrow guage road along its entire length but that part of the line between Americus Abbeville has been changed to the standard guage By Circular 147 a tariff was furnished the company which while it reduces considerably both passenger and freight rates placed it on an equality with other roads of standard guage in that section of the State
CHANGE OF THE TERMINATION OF THE FISCAL YEAR FOR RAILROAD COMPANIES
The Interstate Commerce Commissioners fixed June 30 as the termination of the fiscal year for the companies required to make annual reports to them and suggested that in order to secure uniformity the State Commissioners adopt the same date After consulting with the railroad companies of the State we found that a majority of them were of the opinion that it wrould be a matter of convenience to them if we did so and accordingly by Circular 144 we conformed to the suggestion of the Interstate Commission and to the wishes of the roads and fixed the date indicated as the termination of the fiscal year
DEPOT AND STATION ACCOMMODATIONS
Complaints of inadequate and inconvenient depot and station accommodations continue to reach us We are not authorized by law to supervise or regulate such matters and consequently have been unable to afford any relief to complaining parties or communities We respectfully refer to the remarks on this subject contained in our last report Many of these complaints appear to be well founded and some mode of compelling railroad companies to perform their duties to the public in this respect should be provided by law
TABLES Etc
We present with this report carefully prepared statements showing the officers the amount of capital stock common and preferred the bonded
11
s
indebtedness the rate of interest paid and length of main line and side tracks of each railroad in the State Also a table of distances and stations of each road and the freight and passenger tariff of each so that nonprofessional persons can readily understand the rates the roads are authorized to charge It appears from these statements that the number of miles of railroads in the State is as follows Main lines 395461 miles sidetracks 46608 miles total 442069 miles The number of j miles built since our last report is about seventyone and a half miles and the number now being actually constructed is 122 miles Other lines of magnitude and importance have been projected and work will doubtless 1 he commenced on some of them at a very early day In addition to the I above we have ascertained upon reliable authority that there are at least five hundred and fifty miles of track owned by private individuals or cor 1 porations and not used for public purposes making a total of 496069 J miles within the State We also find from a further analysis of these tables that in the management of these roads there are thirtyeight Presi1 dents nineteen VicePresidents twentyseven General Managers twenty1 seven Superintendents two hundred and thirtythree resident directors 1 one hundred and six nonresident directors with a liberal accompaniament 1 of general freight and passenger agents auditors etc also that there are 153OI59 stock about 80000000 returned as common and 35000000 as preferred stock that there is a bonded indebtedness amounting to 86032138 representing an apparent cost of 201353728 or about 45000 per mile This aggregate does not include the value of the Western Atlantic Railroad nor the value of the 550 miles of private roads that do not act as common carriers P rom the reports made us officially by the roads it is not made clear whether the stock and bonded indebtedness of the East Tennessee Virginia Georgia Railway and the Savannah Florida Western Railway Companies represent more miles than are located within the State of Georgia
PUBLICATION OF THE SCHEDULES CIRCULARS Etc OF
THE COMMISSION
Since our last report the General Assembly has provided by law for th publication of the schedules circulars etc of the Commission in newspapers published in the cities of Athens and Americus in addition to the cities heretofore designated so that now these publications are made in newspapers in the cities of Savannah Atlanta Augusta Macon Columbus Rome Albany Athens and Americus It is much to be desired that these publications be made in as many different sections of
12
the State as practicable so that they will reach the great mass of the people
The fund allowed us for printing is inadequate and we repeat the recommendation of former reports that it be increased We are not able to supply the constant and increasing demand from this and other States for the reports circulars etc of the Commission
OTHER RECOMMENDATIONS
We respectfully repeat our former recommendation that the law establishing the Commission be changed so as to require annual reports only instead of semiannual This change will avoid a considerable expense which in our judgment has no corresponding benefit to justify it
Section 6 of the Act establishing the Commission provides that the schedules purporting to be printed and published as required shall be received and held in all suits instituted under the provisions of the Act establishing the Commission as pmna facie the schedules of said Commissioners without further proof than the production of the schedules desired to be used as evidence with a certificate of the Railroad Commission that the same is a true copy of the schedule prepared by them for the railroad company or corporation therein named and that the same has been duly published as required by law stating the name of the newspaper in which the same was published together with the date and place of publication
The latter part of this section requiring the Commissioners to state in the certificate the name of the newspaper and the date and place of publication seems to be unnecessary and involves sometimes considerable inconvenience The schedules frequently are the result of changes and amendments which are published at different times as they are made and it is difficult and cumbersome to present with respective dates the different parts that go to make up the whole as it stands
As these schedules and the certificate of the Commissioners are only pjima facie evidence of what is recited we think it would be advisable to repeal this requirement so that the certificate need only contain the statement that the copy of the schedule is true and correct and that the schedule has been duly published as required by law
OTHER WORK OF THE COMMISSION
Numerous complaints have been disposed of by the Commission and in many instances satisfactory settlements have been made between parties interested through the suggestions of the Commission
13
We attach copies of the circulars issued since our last report No more specific reference to them is required since a perusal will show the object and purpose the Commissioners had in view in issuing them
In closing this report we desire to say that we have earnestly endeavored to administer the law establishing the Commission fairly and impar tially with a view of carrying to effect the objects of its enactments and while it would be unreasonable to hope that our action has been free from errors or has met the wishes in all cases of parties effected by it we are able to say that all our rulings and decisions have been acquiesced in and carried out and our action on the whole has proven as satisfactory as could reasonably be expected
Very respectfully your obedient servants

By order of the Board
On the 1st of January 1889 the Savannah Florida Western Railway Company issued a circular to its agents which among other things contained the following
All packages of freight which are not removed from the custody of this company within seventytwo hours not including Sundays computed from 10 oclock a m of the day following the day of arrival shall be subjected thereafter to a charge for storage for each day or fraction of a day that it may remain in the custody of this company as follows
L C L shipments one cent per 100 pounds no charge less than 10 cents
C L lots 6 cents per ton of 2000 pounds per day The right being reserved to store such property in a public warehouse at the risk and expense of the owners
A shipment consigned to A Hinds Bro of Bainbridge was allowed

A Hinds Bro vs
Sav Florida Western Ry Co
30
by the consignees to remain in the depot at that place fortythree days beyond the time specified in the above circular and when they called for it the railway company charged for that number of days storage at the rates fixed in said circular
Hinds Bro paid this storage charge under protest and entered a complaint before the Commission in which they allege that this charge was made without authority of law that it is a disguise to increase the freight rates over and above those allowed by the Commission that the com pany have no license from the city of Bainbridge to do business as warehousemen and is not authorized by its charter to do such business and that the company gave no written notice to the consignees of the arrival of the goods
The railroad company after being served with a copy of this complaint answered the same and set up as its defense that respondent when it planned and constructed its station warehouses did not contemplate doing a warehouse business in said station depots except as sanctioned by law and only provided facilities for the transaction of its business as a common carrier under its charter that respondent did not for a long time make any charge for shortage or demurrage but the growing disposition of some of its patrons to permit their goods to remain in its depots and care for long periods of time after arrival at destination obtaining thereby unjust preferences over other patrons has forced respondent to adopt this means of relieving itself from the charge of unjust discrimination as well as the burden of providing storeroom for goods for long periods of time after their arrival at destination that this evil has grown to such an extent that at times its freight depots are so filled with goods awaiting removal by consignees as to preclude the possibility of unloading freight cars standing on the side tracks at such stations that the freight cars belonging to respondent are barely sufficient in number to enable it to discharge its duties as a common carrier to the public and when any of their freight cars are tied up at a station because of the want of warehouse room in which to unload them within a reasonable time after arrival at destination such cars are thereby withdrawn for such period from their legitimate service and are converted into warehouses without the consent and against the will of respondent
The respondent further denies that such charge is unreasonable illegal or intended as a disguise to increase the rates of freight
Under the act creating this Railroad Commission we have jurisdiction of railroad companies only so far as concerns their relation to the public as common carriers It is only with the question of transportation and its inseparable incidents and accompaniments that we are authorized to
31
deal The moment a railroad company has completed and fulfilled its duties as a common carrier according to law as to a given shipment that moment our jurisdiction of the subject matter of that shipment ceases
In the case of W A R R vs Camp 53 Ga page 599 the Supreme Court of Georgia says When goods shipped by a railroad have arrived at their destination and are deposited in a place of safe keeping the liability of the company as common carrier ceases and that of warehouseman commences If goods arrive out of time perhaps notice of arrival to the consignor is necessary Ordinarily says our Supreme Court parties shipping goods by railways should inform themselves as to the time of arrival of the transporting train and govern themselves accordingly S W R R Co vs Foster 46 Ga p 437 See also Code Sec 200
In the case of Dale Dixon Co et al vs this same railroad company decided by us last February we did investigate an alleged charge for storage and direct it to be discontinued but the facts were very different from those now before us
That company was in the habit of making what is called a transfer charge of 210 per car on each car load of lumber received over its road and delivered at the wharves in Savannah It claimed that it was entitled to this amount for transfering the car from its freight depot and what it called its main line over the spur tracks that ran out to the wharves on the river
In April 1880 the Commissioners issued Circular No 6 which among other things transfered lumber from Class O to Class P Commissioners Standard Tariff without the addition of 20 per cent allowed in Circulars 2 3 and 4 on Savannah Florida Western the Macon Brunswick and the Central Railroads and prescribed that these rates should embrace transportation from the mills without charges for side tracks and to the terminus nearest to the wharves at Brunswick and Savannah
1 he railroad companies then discontinued the transfer charge as it was called but about that time the S F W Railway began to charge on each car load of lumber the same amount of 210 for which it called storage in addition to the rates fixed by the Commission for transportation from the mills On the complaint of Dale Dixon Co and others of Savannah we investigated this charge and found the facts to be that this charge was made when the lumber immediately on its arrival was loaded on the vessel as well as when it was not In the latter case it appeared that it was thrown out promiscuously on the ground between the spur tracks The ground was very rough and uneven and some of it covered with water No precautions to assure its safe keeping were taken by the railroad com
pany No watchman or guard was stationed there Nor did it appear that the company assumed any responsibility for its protection Under these circumstances we held that this charge was a violation or evasion of Circular No 6 and the railroad company was ordered to desist from
making it
The facts therein bear no resemblance to this case although a misapprehension of what we decided then may have given rise to this complaint
In the present case after the transportation of the goods is complete and they are deposited in a place of safety they are kept seventytwo hours to be computed from 10 oclock a m of the day following the arrival before the charge for storage begins
We must hold that the relation of the railway company has changed from that of carrier to that of warehousemen and that if as warehousemen they exact illegal charges the remedy is to be sought before the courts and not the Commission
For these reasons the complaint is dismissed

the outgoing train that it is not practicable for a passenger to procure a ticket no more than the schedule of passenger rates shall be charged

5 No Railroad Company shall be allowed to charge more than 10 cents as a minimum full or half rate between regular stations when the fare would be less than that amount
6 The Commission will consider applications for an advance or reduction in the
Standard Tariff for the transportation of passengers but no change in rates shall he of effect or put in force until ratified by the Commission and published in the newspapers of the State as required by law in Section VI of the Act approved October 14 1879 provided that this rule shall not be construed as placing any restriction on the privilege of Railroad Companies to make special rates on excursion trains or to issue what are called Commutation Tickets provided no unjust discrimination is practiced
7 Tickets on sale at any office in a city must be kept on sale at the Depot Ticket Office of the same railroad at the same prices
8 All assent heretofore given railroad companies to use drawhack tickets is hereby withdrawn

2 DistancesSince a separate rate cannot he conveniently given for every possible distance the law authorizes the Commission to ascertain what shall be the limits of longer and shorter distances Five 5 miles has accordingly been fixed as the limit for a change of freight rates for all distances less than one hundred 100 miles and tfen 10 miles for all distances over one hundred 100 miles The Commissioners reserve the right however to correct the charge in extreme cases which work hardship although the same may not violate the letter of our rules
3 For all distances over five 5 miles and under one hundred 100 miles the following rule will apply When the mileage does not end in 0 or 5 the nearest mileage so ending shall govern the rate As amended August 16 1888

But when from any point in this State there are competing lines one or more not subject to the jurisdiction of the Commission then any line or lines which are so subject may at such competing point or other points injuriously affected by such competition make rates below the Standard Tariff to meet such competition without making a corresponding reduction along the line of the road Provided that before taking effect the proposed change in rates shall be submitted to and approved by the Commission and published as required by law in Section VI of the Act approved Obtober 1879
7 The rates charged for freight service by regular passenger trains may he one and a half times that for firstclass freight by ordinary freight trains
