Po His Excellency A D1Candler Governor
The members of the Railroad Commission of Georgia have the honor to submit for jour Excellencys consideration this the Twentyninth Report of that body covering the operations thereof during the year which ends on this date agreeably to the requirements of section 2201 of the the Code To this report we append a number of recommendations to which your Excellencys attention is especially invited
We do not deem it necessary to review at length the business that has demanded the attention of the Commission during the year just closed Hence only those matters which by reason of their importance may prove of general interest will be herein specifically treated
CIRCULARS
The circulars issued by the Commission since the date of our last report are hereunto appended for the purpose of showing the principal changes made in the Classification and Rules of the Commission during the period mentioned and we beg leave to refer to them as a part of this report
REFUSAL OF COMEOTIUG ROADS TO RECEIVE FREIGHT
Heretofore the Commission has had brought to its attention a number of complaints alleging that connecting railroads which competed strongly for business refused to accept freight from their competitors to be delivered at stations on their own lines unless freight charges accrued up to the junction point were prepaid while no such requirement was made of other connecting lines Of course the enforcement of this rule worked a
4
great hardship upon commerce and was a source of great annoyance to the shippers of freight
Other cases arose wherein discriminations were made to discourage the forwarding of freight by certain routes which shippers wished to patronize While the rates demanded for the service rendered appeared to be uniform and not higher than the maximum tariff prescribed by the Commission and consequently not in conflict with the rules and regulations of the Board it became apparent that some regulation covering in a general way the facilities and service afforded by the railways of the State both to individuals and to connecting lines of railway should be adopted for the interest of all concerned
Upon a thorough consideration of the matter the Commission promulgated Rule No 36 effective June 28 1901 Said Rule is in the language following
RULE NO 36
The several railroad companies in this State in the conduct of their intrastate business shall afford to all persons equal facilities in the transportation and delivery of freight without unjust discrimination in favor of or against any and wherever special facilities are afforded to one shipper in the transportation or delivery of freight in carload lots or less whether upon a special rate authorized by this Commission or otherwise such company shall be bound to afford to any other shipper or shippers under substantially similar circumstances like facilities upon
lik rSitcs
Such railroad companies upon such business shall at all terminal and connecting points to any other railroad company whose tracks are of the same gauge afford under substantially similar circumstances equal facilities for the interchange of freight and upon like terms and conditions whether in carload lots or less without discrimination in favor of or against any and wherever special facilities are afforded to one such railroad company in the interchange and delivery of freight either to consignees or connecting lines whether upon a special rate authorized by this Commission or otherwise such company shall be bound to afford to all other connecting lines under like and substantially similar circumstances like facilities upon like terms and rates
One case of the character contemplated by the above rule has arisen since its adoption The Tifton Thomasville Gulf Railway Company complained to the Commission alleging the violation of said rule by the Georgia Northern Railway Company in that it refused to receive from the plaintiff at Moultrie Ga freights destined to points on defendants line
5
except upon prepayment of freight charges whereas no such requirement was made of the Plant System in the interchange of freights at Pidcock it being contended that this was done to force the routing of freights via the longer line through Pidcock so that the Plant System an alleged preferred connection might participate in the business and so that the defendant company would enjoy a longer haul at a greater profit
The case was heard and the Commission found in favor of the plaintiff An order was made directing the defendant to cease its discriminations against the plaintiff and the defendant has signified to the Commission its intention to comply
It is of the utmost importance that no impedimeuts nor burdens be permitted to hamper the commerce of the State and in the opinion of the Commission the regulation above referred to will prove an efficacious means to the desired end
CLOSING OF TELEGRAPH OFFICES ALONG THE SEABOARD
AIR LINE RAILWAY
The only complaint made against any telegraph company in Georgia to this Board during the year was made by citizens of Preston Mt Vernon Glenwood and other towns along that portion of the Seaboard Air Line Railway formerly known1 as the Georgia Alabama Railway to the effect that said company had illegally and without notice closed its offices at those towns
The Commission immediately issued orders requiring the company to reopen and reestablish said offices within the period of ten days or in default thereof to appear before the Board to show cause why suit should not be instituted to recover the penalties provided by law for violating Rule No 2 of the Telegraph Rules which prohibits the closing of any telegraph office in this State without the consent of the Commission
Some of those office were reestablished but others were not and on the appointed day the Western Union Telegraph Company by its superintendent appeared before the Commission The company pleaded nonresponsibility on its part alleging that the railroad company employed the operators at those pointsand allowed them to handle Western Union messages for the telegraph company on commission that they had no control whatever
of said operators and offices and that the railroad company had seen fit without notice to the telegraph company to abolish said offices and remove said operators in which proceeding the telegraph company had no voice nor authority whatever
Regardless of who may or may not be responsible in this matter it is none the less true that the public has contrary to the rules of the Commission been deprived of telegraphic service at the points named The Commission at a recent meeting by resolution decided to refer the matter to the AttorneyGeneral with a view to ascertaining who is under the law the responsible party in said violation in order that appropriate proceedings may be instituted to uphold the rules of the Commission and to give adequate relief to the public at the points above named
RATES TO TIFTON AND THOMASVILLE
At different times petitions were filed by the cities of Tifton and Thomasville making complaint of unjust discrimination in freight rates alleging among other things that rates in effect at those towns were without good and sufficient reason higher than rates then in force at Albany
With particular reference to rates between those points and the Georgia ports it was contended that Albany enjoyed an undue advantage The Plant System Savannah Florida Western Railway being the railroad principally concerned was cited to appear before the Commission to answer said charges It replied that notwithstanding the fact that Albany was further removed from the Georgia ports the lower rates admitted to exist at that point as compared with the Tifton and Thomasville rates were justified by water competition at Albany and by the further fact that Albany was a competitive point as between different lines of railway
Upon hearing each of said cases the Board was convinced that there existed no such dissimilarity of conditions at Albany compared with the conditions Which obtained at Tifton and Thomasville as would justify the admitted disparity of rates In both cases it was ordered that the rates from Savannah and Brunswick to Tifton and Thomasville respectively be readjusted and made not higher than the Albany rates from those ports Later in the case of Thomasville a supplementary order was made requiring
7
that rates in the opposite direction from that town to the ports mentioned he made the same as the Albany rates to said ports
PASSENGER RATES OF THE ATLANTIC VALDOSTA WESTERN RAILWAY
Complaint having been filed by citizens living along its line of railroad to the effect that its passenger rates were excessive and should be reduced the Atlantic Valdosta Western Railway Company was summond to show cause why the petitioners prayer should not be granted and said rates made three instead of four cents per mile
Being always inclined to insist upon as low passenger rates as can be justified by the financial condition of the road and the volume of business enjoyed the Commission carefully investigated all of the circumstances bearing upon this case It found that this a new line of railroad traversing a comparatively new and sparsely settled territory enjoyed but a very light intrastate passenger traffic It appeared that in spite of this fact the railroad company afforded to the public a good passenger train service composed of two trains each way per dav which service it could not be reasonably expected to maintain upon a reduced passenger rate All things considered the Board was led by its investigation to the conclusion that the public interest would be the better subserved by allowing the railroad company to continue ebarging its present passenger rate at least for the time being Accordingly the Board adopted a resolution allowing the company to enforce its present rates until further ordered
DISTRIBUTION OF TELEGRAPH LINE MATERIAL BY THE PLANT SYSTEM OF RAILWAYS
Recently the Postal TelegraphCable Company lodged complaint against the Savannah Florida Western Railway Company alleging unjust discrimination against it and in favor of the Western Union Telegraph Company in that said railway company hauled material for the construction and maintenance of telegraph lines and distributed the same along its right ef way as desired for the Western Union Telegraph Company and at the same time refused to perform a similar service for the complainant
The defendant admitted substantially all the allegations made and set np as a defense among other things that the complainant was a trespasser upon its right of way because of the alleged fact that the statute under which the plaintiff had by condemnation acquired the authority to enter upon said right of way to construct its line of telegraph was illegal and unconstitutional
The Commission not being vested with authority to pass upon the constitutionality of a statute was limited in its investigation to the facts in the case The allegations of the plaintiff were as above stated admitted by the defendant Consequently the defendant was clearly in violation of Rule No 36 previously quoted and the Board passed an order directing the Savannah Florida Western Railway Company to desist from the unjust discriminations complained of
FREIGHT TARIFF OF THE WAYCROSS AIR LINE RAILWAY
A petition was filed by patrons of the Waycross Air Line Railway pray1 ing that the Commission reclassify said company so far as its freight tariff was concerned reducing it from sixth to fourth class
The Waycross Air Line was found to be a short line newly construetedthrough a section which had not previously enjoyed any railroad facilities At the hearing of the application the VicePresident of the company stated that the road was then being further extended that a reduction of itsfreight tariff would seriously hamper the completion of this extension both by reducing its revenue and by interfering with its arrangements forneeded capital It was further stated that the road had voluntarily reduced its passenger rates from four to three cents per mile and that it was thepurpose of the company to reduce its rates of freight also as soon as the road was completed and sufficient traffic developed to warrant such action
The Commission examined the earnings of the defendant company and became convinced by all of the considerations involved that the condition physical and financial of the defendant company did not warrant its being taken out from among other new and short lines with respect to its freightcharges A resolution was therefore adopted dismissing the applicatiort and continuing the freight rates then in effect until otherwise ordered

ADOPTION OF FREIGHT AND PASSENGER TARIFFS FOR
NEW RAILROADS
Since the date of our last report the Commission has in the exercise of its duties been called upon to prescribe maximum freight and passenger tariffs for the following railroad companies
Nashville Sparks Railroad
Iron Belt Railroad
Ocilla Irwinville Railroad
Ocilla Pinebloom Valdosta Railway
All of these are short lines and the Commission placed them in Class No Six which class embraces almost all of the weaker and shorter lines of railroad in the State
DEPOTS
The Commission has considered many applications for new freight andpassenger depots during the past year Among the more important pointsat which better depot facilities were desired are the following
Cordele
Cartersville
Tennille
Hartwell
Rockmart
Bladen
Reeves Station
Roberta
Howell
Lulaton
At most of these points the improvements found to be necessary are either completed or in course of construction while in other cases no decision has yet been reached
CHATTANOOGA ROME SOUTHERN RAILROAD
M u iijif i 11 il ij i i j I M i I
On the first day of June 1901 the Central of Georgia Railway Company Came into possession of the Chattanooga Rome Southern Railroad including the Chattanooga Durham Railroad which gives the Central a
10
mileage considerably greater than that operated by any other company in the State and gives it entrance into Chattanooga Continuons mileage rates have been put in force over these lines in connection with the other mileage of the Central system This produces lower rates on many shipments and gives the people of the sections traversed by those lines the benefits of through service As yet there has come to the Commission no indication that the interests of the public have suffered by this purchase
PASSENGER RATES OF THE GEORGIA PINE RAILWAY
COMPANY
Complaint and application having been made the Board upon investigation was of the opinion that the passenger rates of the Georgia Pine Railway Company now the Georgia Florida Alabama Railway Company should be reduced from four to three cents per mile This was done by appropriate order effective on December 1 1900
GENERAL OBSERVATIONS
There was a time when the equipment and physical condition of the railroads in Georgia in common with the transportation lines in the other Southern States would not compare favorably with railroads in other sections of the country Within the pastten years conditions have changed During that time there has been remarkable improvement along these lines Today the principal railroads of this State in point of roadbed equipment and train service will compare creditably with those of any section of the Union Nor has this improvement involved the transportation companies financially The work has been carried on gradually and systematically And the result has proven again that in the end the cheapest is the best for capital put into better track and better equipment not only effects great economy in operation but lessens as well the number of accidents with the attendant loss of life and property
Another gratifying feature of the railroad situation in Georgia is that year by year there is a gradual improvement to be observed with respect to the relations existing between the people and the public carriers that
serve them We do not mean to say that the railroad millenium has come far from it There will perhaps never be perfect harmony in the railroad nor any other business because in business there must be two parties and n question of money between them But the railway managers of today have come tounderstand more fully the fact that the properties under their control must look to the public for their support and that amicable relations with the public are not only the most pleasant but the most profitable On the other hand the people understand that railroad transportation is now the basis of business and that their own prosperity depends to a large degree upon the railroads The Railroad Commission has doubtless contributed largely to the creation of this state of affairs It has by appropriate rules and regulations endeavored to enforce in an impartial and conservative way the laws committed to its care And while the law is in many respects defective we believe that in Georgia there is to be found cwing to the labors of Commissioners in the past what is perhaps the best exemplification of government control of railroads to be found in the country
RECOMMENDATIONS
The attention of your Excellency is respectfully invited to the following recommendations touching legislation which our experience has convinced us is necessary to secure to the public that full measure of protection to which it is entitled and which we believe was contemplated by the spirit of the original Railroad Commission Act
SIDETRACKS AND PHYSICAL CONNECTIONS BETWEEN
RAILROADS
In our opinion the Commission ought to have conferred upon it the authority to require railroad companies to construct and maintain sidetracks wherever the public convenience demands them and where the volume of business warrants their construction
The General Assembly has heretofore seen proper to empower the Commission to require the location and erection of freight and passenger depot buildings Sidetracks being quite as necessary and indeed as much a part
12
of the indispensable facilities required for the proper handling of traffic as depot buildings themselves ought as we believe to be likewise comprehended by the law so as to enable the Board to require the roads whenever necessary to afford adequate sidetrack facilities If it is desirable that the Commission be clothed with the power to require the erection of a depot it is equally desirable and reasonable that so important a concomitant as sidetracks be made subject to the same regulations and we so recommend
Practically the same reasoning applies to the provision of such physical connection between intersecting and connecting lines of railway as willrender possible the interchange of freights and cars between such linesSeveral cases have come to the knowledge of the Commission where on account of conflicting interests or unfriendly feeling the officials of intersecting lines refused to make such connections with the result that inconvenience and hardship was put upon the people who are entitled to routetheir freights by the shortest line regardless of the relations existing between the managements of the different railroads
We therefore recommend that legislation be enacted conferring upon the Railroad Commission the authority in such cases to require the intersecting or connecting railroads to put in the usual appliances to render feasible and convenient the interchange of freights and cars
VENUE IN SUITS TO1 RECOVER PENALTY
We recommend that the law be so amended as to authorize the bringing of suit to recover penalties for the violation of rules and orders of the Commission in the county wherein such violation may be committed instead of as at present in the county in which are located the principal offices of the offending company We are aware of no good reason to the contrary and are convinced that the change suggested would not only aid largely in the attainment of justice but would also render more economical and convenient its administration
Eor example where a railroad company has failed to comply with an order of the Board requiring the construction of a depot at a point in a given county instead of bringing suit to recover the statutory penalty in that county it is necessary to go perhaps hundreds of miles in order to bring
13
suit in the county where the companys principal offices are located And this notwithstanding the fact that the States evidence to prove the necesr sity for such depot and the reasonableness of the Commissions order must be found in the vicinity of the proposed location and notwithstanding the fact that the defendant railroad company could there present its case equally as well as at the county of its home office
As it now is the State must either bear the expense of summoning witnesses from a distance or rely upon answers to written interrogatories The jury is precluded from inspecting the premises while the trial of all such suits in the county where the violation occurred would entirely obviate the difficulties above mentioned
MANDAMUS
At this time the only means given the Commission by law to compel obedience to its rules and regulations is to sue in the courts for the recovery of penalties provided by the statute in cases where such rules and regulations are violated
This remedy is manifestly inadequate and ought to be improved The law should in our judgment be so amended as to enable the courts of this State either by mandamus or mandatory injunction in a summary way to compel carriers to specifically perform the duties which they assume or which are imposed upon them by law
An example will suffice to demonstrate the necessity as above suggested A railroad company finds that its revenues can be increased by charging exhorbitant or discriminatory rates The Commission issues an order requiring the company to desist The company refuses The Commission institutes suit to recover the statutory penalty The maximum that can be recovered is five thousand dollars The company decides that it would be to its financial advantage to litigate even if finally compelled to pay the penalty The litigation drags its slow length through the courts and months even years elapse before the penalty is finally recovered In the meantime the public has been compelled to pay the unjust rate and perhaps the commercial prosperity of a town or section has been destroyed
If a given order or rule of the Commission is to be tested in the courts it seems to us that its actual enforcement under mandamus from the courts

14
would best demonstrate whether it was reasonable or unreasonable It would enable the Commission to give immediate relief to the public and at the same time reserve to the carrier companies all the legal rights they now enjoy Hence we earnestly recommend that the law be amended as above indicated
SLEEPING CAE AND TELEPHONE COMPANIES
We renew the recommendations made in our last report that sleeping car and telephone companies be made subject to the jurisdiction of the Kailroad Commission
The sleeping car service is one so closely connected and identified with the passenger service of railroads that there can be no valid reason advanced against their being made subject to precisely the same regulation by State authority
The same is true of telephone companies by comparison with telegraphic service Both are engaged in furnishing facilities for the transmission of messages for the public for hire Under modern business conditions both are practically indispensable and both are capable of placing undue burdens upon the people The General Assembly has heretofore seen proper to make telegraph companies subject to regulation by the Eailroad Commission We know of no good reason why their competitors the telephone companies should be exempted
CONCLUSION
In conclusion we beg leave to state that recommendations have heretofore been made in previous reports touching most of the subjects herein referred to The lawmaking power has not up to this time deemed it proper to adopt legislation on the lines suggested But the law creating the Eailroad Commission makes it the duty of the Commissioners to recommend from time to time such legislation as they may deem advisable Our experience in administering the law as it now exists has led us to the conclusion that the legislation herein recommended is advisable and necessary if the public is to receive thebenefit of the full protection to which it is entitled Therefore in the discharge of the duty imposed upon the
15
Commissioners by law and in the earnest desire to see needed progress made toward the complete solution of the question of State regulation of public corporations we respectfully lay before your Excellency the recommendations herein set forth with the hope that your Excellency may see fit to urge the adoption at least of some of them upon the lawmaking power

Rules for computing fractions when applied to Standard Tariff
RULE FOR COMPUTING FRACTIONS
6 When any rate in any Class in the Standard Tariff is raised or lowered by a per
cent the following rules must be observed
FirstIn computing rates on classes in which fractions occur in the Standard Tariff fractions less than half but as much as a quarter of a cent are to be estimated as half a cent Fractions over half but less than threefourths of a cent to be estimated as half a cent Fractions three quarters and over to be estimated as onecent Fractions less than quarter of a cent to be omitted as the following examples will indicate
Sx 1Standard Rate 65
25 per cent added 16
T0tal 81 from which deduct fraction leaving desired rate
of 8 cents
for 2Standard Rate 95
20 per cent added 19
Total 114 Substituting 5 for the fraction the desired
rate is 115 cents
Fy 3Standard Rate 8
20 per cent added 16
Total 96 Substituting 5 for the fraction the desired rate
is 95 cents
E 4Standard Rate 55
25 per cent added 13
Total 68 Adding a unit instead of a fraction the desired rate is 7 cents
33
condIf the rate thus raised or lowered be in any other Class than those already mentioned omit fractions of less than half a cent and estimate half a cent or more as one cent
Thus Ex 1Standard Bate 17
20 per cent added 34
Total 204 Deducting the fraction the desired rate is 20
cents
Ex 2Standard Bate 18
20 per cent added 36
Total 216 Estimating the fraction as a unit the desired
rate is 22 cents
ThirdIn making reductions observe the same manner of placing figures before deducting the percentage
6 Narrow gauge railroads in fixing rates on all freights where a rate per car load is given will count 15000 pounds for a car load and estimate their charge pro rata with rate allowed on standard gauge
7 On shipments of brick and lumber passing between standard gauge railroads and narrow gauge railroads under the same management no more than Class P will be allowed to be charged provided however that a charge of three dollars per standard gauge car of 30000 pounds or over may be made to cover the cost of transfer
Shipments from narrow guage roads to broad guage roads under like conditions will be allowed a transfer charge subject to note six of the Explanatory Notes of this Commission
8 Wherever in the Commissioners Classification articles are designated as without percentage said articles shall take no higher rate than is prescribed by the Standard Tariff irrespective of percentages specifically allowed certain roads on the classes in which said articles are classed and the same shall remain in effect until expressly repealed by Circular
9 In cases where the roads at interest have no agreement for the division of a joint rate on a shipment subject to Buie No 30 no road shall receive as its proportion of such ratera greater amount than its local rate less ten per cent In other words no railroad participating in a joint rate in this State shall take advantage of reductions made by other lines interested by assessing its full local rate but must deduct ten per cent from its local as in other cases

DIRECTIONS FOR COMPUTING RATES
For the benefit of those who may not be familiar with the subject the following directions are given forthe computation of rates from the Classification and Tariff of the Commission contained in this volume
This can best be done by an actual exampleTake for instance a shipment of dry goods weighing 500 pounds from Savannah to Tennille Ga That town being on the line of the Central of Georgia Railway we turn to the distance tables of that company on page 76 where the distance from Savannah to Tennille is shown to be 135 miles At the top of the page it will be noticed that the Central of Georgia Railway is in Freight Class No 4 and that reference is made to page No 40 Turning to page 41 a classified list of railroadsin Georgia is found the Central being in Class No 4 and on the opposite page No 40 we find that on several classes of freight all roads in Class 4 are allowed to add 25 per cent to rates shown in the Standard Tariff
Now turn to the Classification which begins on page 45 arranged in alphabetical order and under the head of D it will be seen that Dry Goods are in firstclass Turn to the Standard Tariff page 42 and follow down the first column which shows the miles There being no distance of 135 shown the next highest distance governs and opposite 140 miles in the next column this being the column for firstclass the rate is seen to be 57 cents per 100 pounds The road being allowed to add 25 per cent to this class and 25 percent of 57 cents being 14 cents we find by adding the 57 and 14 together that the maximum rate is 71 cents per 100 pounds or on the 500 pound shipment 355
JOINT SHIPMENT OVER SEVERAL RAILROADS
Where a shipment passes over two or more roads proceed exactly in the same manner and ascertain the rate for the distance hauled over each road separately and having done this add together these several rates thus ascertainedand deduct from thetotalten percentof the amount and theremainder will be the net maximum rate to be collected As an example suppose that a shipment passes over a part of three different roads and the rate for the first is 150 the next 285 and the third 420 The total is 855 and onetenth of that sum is 85 cents or 86 cents which subtracted from the total of 855 leaves a net maximum joint rate of 769 on the shipment
A careful reading of all the rules will be of very great assistance Especial reference is made to Freight Rules Nos 12 3 and 4 page 25 to Rules 20 21 and 23 page 28 to Rule 30 page 30 and to the Explanatory Notes beginning on page 34
The Classification and Distance Tables being arranged in alphabetical order any particular article of freight or the distance table of any particular railroad may be easily found The Index in the back of this Report will enable one to find readily any Rule Tariff etc desired
NoteWhile for convenience the Distance Tables show distances to some towns and cities outside of this State it will be borne in mind that the rates shown in this Report apply Only to shipments which originate and terminate in Georgia as shipments passing from one State to another constitute interstate commerce over which the Interstate Commerce Commission at Washington D C alone has jurisdiction

EXPLANATION OF ABOVE TABLESTo find rate per one hundred pounds
ExampleFind the distance for forty miles or any distance between 21 and 40 on the left side of the Table of Merchandise Bates and the column on the right under the head of cents gives the correct rate40 cents
To find the rate on packages less than 100 pounds Look under the head of packi ages less than 100 pounds and find the weight of package on which rate is wanted and
run your finger along to the right until you get under the number of miles wanted at the top of the table and where the two cross you will find the rate For example Wanted the rate on a package weighing between 41 and 50 pounds for 60 miles Find weight of package over 40 and not over 50 pounds under head of packages less than 100 pounds and run your finger to the right until it comes to the column under the 60 miles and it will give the rate wanted35 cents
