REPORT
Office of the Railroad Commission of Georgia
Atlanta Ga October 15th 1902
To His Excellency A D Candler Governor
Sir Agreeably to the provisions of Section 2201 of the Code of this State the Railroad Commission begs to submit for your consideration this the Thirtieth Report of said Commission for the year which ends on this date
The history of the proceedings of this Commission dating from its first organization demonstrates not only that it is possible for the State to regulate justly the business of the carrier companies doing business within the State so as to prevent the exaction by them of excessive rates and to prevent unjust discrimination against the public but likewise that such regulation is indispensable to the welfare of the State and to the protection of its citizens against a continuance of those oppressive exactions which first quickened the public mind into a realization of the imperative necessity for that legislative action which found final expression in the organization of this Board
The wisdom of this legislation has been vindicated an hundred fold by the recent experiences of the general government and of the governments of other States in their efforts to check and control the growing tendencies toward a consolidation of the various carrier companies of the country through the medium of socalled Securities Companies and otherwise
Against the manifest perils to which the individual in the conduct of his private affairs is necessarily exposed as a result of such combinations it is competent for the General Assembly by appropriate legislation to safeguard to a great extent the interests of the people of this State
Such imperfections as must necessarily be found in working out in the first instance a plan for the governmental regulation and control of the carrier companies of the State suggested to the General Assembly in the
4
very beginning of the experimental stage of the work upon which the State was about to enter in the enactment of the RailroadjCommission law the wisdom and importance of seeking from the Commission which it was then creating such information as might be acquired by it in the course of the actual administration of law as would enable the General Assembly by appropriate amendment to perfect that system
It was therefore made the duty of this Commission to call to the attention of your Excellency such changes in the law creating this Board as its experiences from time to time might suggest and it is in response to that requirement of the law that we beg leave to make the following
RECOMMENDATIONS
J
Many complaints have from time to time been made to the Commission that the railroad companies principally at noncompetitive points on the lines of their several roads fail or refuse to receive receipt for and forward promptly to destination goods which are tendered to them for shipment This is notably true during the cotton and fertilizer seasons and of shipments of those commodities The companies when complaint is made seek to excuse the failure so to receive receipt for and forward to destination goods offered for shipment upon the ground that their rolling stock is otherwise employed The Commission is of the opinion that every railroad company engaged in business within the State of Georgia should provide itself with rolling stock and other equipment adequate to the prompt and expeditious transportation of any freights which may be offered It is our opinion that the duty of the railroad companies and the interests of the business and shipping public demand that this should be done The socalled extraordinary conditions arising from the sudden access of great volumes of freight in view of their necessarily frequent recurrence should be anticipated and provision should be first made by the railroad companies of this State for the movement of traffic originating in this State and offered for shipment by its citizens
It will be observed that while this Commission has ample power to prescribe and regulate rates of freight the General Assembly has not heretofore conferred upon it the power to prescribe the time within which the carrier companies of the State should receive receipt for and forward to l destination freights tendered for shipment An Act conferring upon this Commission such a power with an appropriate penalty for violation of its
5
MvWia pnrrvimr infn the Bower conferred would be of inestimablel
tioned and to which they should not be subjected
7

SIDETRACKS AND PHYSICAL CONNECTIONS BETWEEN
RAILROADS
In our opinion the Commission ought to have conferred upon it 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 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 will render possible the interchange of freights and cars between such lines Several 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 were put upon the people who are entitled to route their 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 covenient the interchange of freights and cars
authority to require railroad companies to construct and maintain side v tracks wherever the public convenience demands them and where
6
VENUE IN SUITS TO 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
For 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 suit in the county where the companys principal offices are located And this notwithstanding the fact that the States evidence to prove the necessity for such depot and the reasonableness of the Commissions order must be found in the vicinity of the proposed location and notwitstauding 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 impoved 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 specifically to perform the duties which they assume or which are imposed upon them by law
7
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 ithat can be recovered is five thousand dollars The company finds that it would be to its financial advantage to litigate even if compelled finally 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 monddinus from the courts 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
CONCLUSION
While there are other subjects in this connection to which the Comimission might invite your Excellency attention the matters hereinbefore referred to are of such pressing importance that it deems it best at this time to call attention only to the changes in the law above recommended
Respectfully submitted

RULE FOR COMPUTING FRACTIONS
Kales for
computing fractions w kea applied to Standard Tariff
5 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 one cent 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
Total 81 from which deduct fraction leaving desired rate
of 8 cents
Ex 2Standard Rate 95
20 per cent added 19
Total 114 Substituting 5 for the fraction the desired
rate is 115 cents
Ex 8Standard Rate 8
20 per cent added 16
Total 96 Substituting 5 for the fraction the desired rate
is 95 cents
Ex 4Standard Rate 55
25 per cent added 13
Total 68 Adding a unit instead of a fraction the de
sired rate is 7 cents
35
econdIf 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 Rate 17 1 lijnrn vinum
20 per cent added 34
Total 204 Deducting the fraction the desired rate is 20
Ex 2Standard Rate 18
20 per cent added 36
Total 216 Estimating the fraction as a unit the desired
1 1 rate is 22 cents
Third In making reductions observe the same manner of placing figures before deducting the percentage
6 Narrow gauge railroads in fixing rates on alj freights where a rate per car load is given will count 16000 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 poundsor 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 Notesof this Commission
8 Wherever in the Commissioners Glassification 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 ni
9 In cases where the roads at interest have no agreement for the division of a joint 1 rate on a shipment subject to Rule No 30 no road shall receive as its proportion of such rate a 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 iwo

DIRECTIONS FOR COMPUTING RATES
j or the benefit ot those who may not be familiar with the subject the following directions are given for the 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 goodsweighing 500 pounds from Savannah to Tennille Oa That town being on the line of the Central of Georgia Railway we turn to the distance tables of that company on page 81 where the distance from Savannah to Tenqille is shewn 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 3 and that reference made to page N6 42 Turning to page 43 a classified list of railroads ini Georgia is found the Central being in Class No S and on the opposite page No 42 we find that on several classes of freight all roads m Class 3 are allowed to add 25 per cenfi to rates shown in the Standard Tariff
Now turn tp the Classification which begins on page 47 arranged in alphabetical oider andunder the head of D will be seen that Dry Goods are in firstclass Turn to the Standard Tariff page 44 and follow down the firstj column Which shows the miles There being no distance 6f 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 tp be 57 cents per 100 pounds The road being allowed to add 25 per cent1 to this class and 25 percent of 57 cents being 14 cents we find by adding the 57 and 14 togetherthat 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 ascer tained and deduct from the total ten per cent of the amount and the remainder will be the net maximupa 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 sqm 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 1 2 3 and 4 page 27 to Rules 20 21 and 28 page 30 to Rule 30 page 32 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

REPORT
Office of the Railroad Commission of Georgia
Atlanta Ga October 15 1903
To His Excellency Jos M Terrell Governor
Sir By the terms of the Act creating the Railroad Commission of Georgia it is made the duty of that Commission to report to the Governor from time to time such recommendations as it may have to offer touching the subject of regulation of railroads and as well to give to the Chief Executive such information touching the operations of the Board of Railroad Commissioners as will enable the Legislature to understand the practical workings of that body It is in obedience to this provision of this law that the Commission begs herewith to submit its report
The wisdom of State regulation of common carriers Js now so well established and so thoroughly recognized as that no one in this day seriously questions the policy of maintaining a system by which the common carriers of the State in their relations to the public are subject to governmental control The history of this Commission dating from its organization vindicates the wisdom of its establishment The railroad companies themselves have never been more prosperous nor have the people of the State ever received such good service for so little money as at the present time All of the powers of the Railroad Commission have been exercised for the promotion of the general welfare The rules established by it from the beginning were conceived in wisdom they have been enforced in moderation but with an inflexible purposeto see that complete justice was done to every citizen within the limits of the State The power to regulate the operations of the great carrying corporations of the country carries with it an enormous responsibility and this responsibility the Commission has to the best of its ability met from time to time in such a way as to protect all conflicting interests and at the same time to promote the general welfare
4
The system of railroad management in the State of Georgia has been regarded throughout the country as the most successful the most wisely and best organized system that prevails in any of the States While this is true and in many respects our law is deserving of commendation there are some respects in which it is deficient and to these it is made the duty of the Railroad Commission through Your Excellency to direct the attention of the General Assembly
RECOMMENDATIONS
Many complaints have from time to time been made to the Commission that the railroad companies principally at noncompetitive points on the lines of their several roads fail or refuse to receive receipt for and forward promptly to destination goods which are tendered to them for shipment This is notably true during the cotton and fertilizer seasons and of shipments of those commodities The companies when complaint is made seek to excuse the failure so to receive receipt for and forward to destination goods offered for shipment upon the ground that their rollingstock is otherwise employed The Commission is of the opinion that every railroad company engaged in business within the State of Georgia should provide itself with rolling stock and other equipment adequate to theprompt and expeditious transportation of any freights which may be offered It is our opinion that the duty of the railroad companies and the interestsof the business and shipping public demand that this should be done The socalled extraordinary conditions arising from the sudden access of great volumes of freight in view of their necessarily frequent recurrence should be anticipated and provision should be first made by the railroad companies of this State for the movement of traffic originating in this State and offered for shipment by its citizens
It will be observed that while this Commission has ample power toprescribe and regulate rates of freight the General Assembly has not heretofore conferred upon it the power to prescribe the time within which thecarrier companies of the State should receive receipt for and forward to destination freights tendered for shipment
While the Commission has power to fix as against the citizen theamount which the railroad companies may exact by way of demurrage and storage for the failure promptly to receive from the railroad company
5
freight which has been tendered in pursuance of the bill of lading the Legislature has not conferred upon the Commission the corresponding power to impose upon the railroad companies a penalty for a failure promptly to receive receipt for and forward to destination goods offered for shipment An Act conferring upon this Commission such a power with an appropriate penalty for violation of its orders carrying into effect the power conferred was introduced at the suggestion of the Railroad Commission at the last session of the General Assembly but failed of its passage Such an Act would be of inestimable value to the people of the State and would protect them against the vexation annoyance and pecuniary loss resulting from the delays above mentioned and to which they should not be subjected
To the foregoing matters the Commission has repeatedly called the attention of the General Assembly and has felt a sense of disappointment that notwithstanding the personal efforts of the members of the Commission in appearing before the Committees of the General Assembly to present the arguments in favor of the matters thus recommended the Legislature has not seen proper to pass any of the measures submitted at the suggestion of the Commission
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 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 such an important concomitant as sidetracks be made subject to the same regulations and we so recommend
6
Practically the same reasoning applies to the provision of such physical connection between intersecting and connecting lines of railway as will render possible the interchange of freights and cars between such lines Several 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 were put upon the people who are entitled to route their 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 TO RECOVER PENALTY
We recommend that the law be so amended a3 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
For 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 suit in the county where the companys principal offices are located And this notwithstanding the fact that the States evidence to prove the necessity 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
7
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 ot this State either by mandamus or mandatory injunction in a summary way to compel carriers specifically to 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 exorbitant 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 finds that it would be to its financial advantage to litigate even if compelled finally 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 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 would reserve to the carrier companies all of the legal rights that they now enjoy Hence we earnestly recommend that the law be amended as above indicated
ARBITRATION OF TAX RETURNS
In addition to these matters which relate to the duties of the Commission devolved upon them by the original Act creating the Board the members of the Commission beg leave to call attention to a subsequent
provision of the law passed in the year 1894 by the terms of which the members of the Commission were made exofficio arbitrators on behalf of the State in the settlement of disputed valuations upon tax returns submitted by the several railroad express and telegraph companies to the ComptrollerGeneral This system of ascertaining values by the reference of disputed returns in each case to boards of arbitration has been put to a thorough test during the present year and the Commission is fully persuaded that there should be some change in the present law upon that subject
When it is borne in mind that upon each separate contested return there must be organized an independent board of arbitration each board not necessarily but usually composed of persons other than those who sat upon any other board it will be readily seen that it is utterly impossible to bring about any system of tax assessment upon corporate properties that could be even approximately uniform The General Assembly provides no standard of value by which to estimate the value of either the tangible or intangible property of railroad companies Instead of taxing the corporation as a gojng concern and in such way as to reach every element that enters into the value of its properties it has endeavored to separate into distinct items the realty of the company its intangible property and as well the various kinds of property that go to make up its personal possessions and by valuing each separately endeavors to ascertain the value of the corporate assets as a whole
With all respect to the General Assembly it occurs to the Commission that this system cannot result in anything short of confusion and especially is this true when it is remembered that these valuations are referred for settlement to as many separate boards of arbitration as there may happen to be of contested tax returns The Constitution of the State requires that taxation shall be uniform and it is respectfully submitted that the principle of uniformity can never be applied to any system of taxation formulated upon such a basis
The Commission would respectfully recommend to the General Assembly if it shall be the purpose of the General Assembly to continue the members of the Commission in the discharge of this particular line of duty that the public service wouid be better promoted and the public interests better advanced if the whole question of the valuation of railroad property for taxation were submitted direct to the Railroad Commission

9
If the General Assembly acting upon this suggestion should adopt this means of ascertaining the value of the properties of the public service corporations specific provision should be made by statute for such returns to the Commission of the operations of such corporations as would enable it at all times to understand and appreciate the elements of value that enter into the corporate properties Power should be conferred upon the Commission to make such examination of the corporate books as would enable it intelligently to pass upon the value of the corporate properties
CONCLUSION
The Commission from time to time during the current year has taken occasion to inspect the physical condition of the properties of the railroad companies of this State They are found to be in goodcondition Many depots have been constructed at various points during the year and many are now in process of construction Indeed upon a careful review of the whole situation the Commission is of the opinion that with the changes in the law hereinbefore suggested there would be no reason to apprehend that the people of any section of the State would suffer as a consequence of their want of proper railroad service and facilities
All of which is respectfully submitted

DIRECTIONS FOR COMPUTING RATES
For the benefit of those who may not be familiar with the subject the following directions are given for the 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 Tennille being on the line of the Central of Georgia Railway we turn to the distance tables of that company on page 78 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 C and that reference is made to page No 39 Turning to page 39 a classified list of railroads in Georgia is found the Central being in Class C and on the opposite page No 38 we find that on several classes of freight all roads in Class C are allowed to add 25 per cent to rates shown in the Standard Tariff
Now turn to the Classification which begins on page 43 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 40 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 6ame manner and ascertain the rate for the distance hauled over each road separately and having done this add together these several rates thus ascertained and deduct from the total ten per cent of the amount and the remainder 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 85J 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 1 7 8 9 18 19 27
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 Rul 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

REPORT
Atlanta Ga February 15 1905
To His Exeellency Joseph M Terrell Governor
Sir In obedience to the requirement of the Act of the General Assembly approved October 14 1879 whereby it is made the duty of the Commissioners to make to the Governor annual reports of the transactions of their office and to recommend from time to time such legislation as they may deem advisable under the provisions of this Act the Commission begs leave to submit the following
Since its last annual report which embraced a general revision of its rules the Commission has made a number of revisions of its freight rates and classification of different commodities the effect of all of which was to lower the existing rates and classification The Commission in September 1904 promulgated Circulars 301 and 302 which lessened the rates on various commodities to and from different points within the State The purpose of the Commission in thus promulgating these circulars was twofold First to prescribe such rates as were just and reasonable and second to stimulate and encourage the manufacturing and jobbing interests of the State The Commission realized that there had been no general revision of its standard tariff for a number of years nor had there been made effective by the Commission a reduction in commodity rates to any appreciable extent The last general revision of the tariff was made a number of years ago when conditions were materially different from what they are now and hence it was deemed advisable in view of this fact and as well of complaints lodged with the Commission by various shippers throughout the State of what they deemed excessive freight rates that a reduction in rates should be made The Commission therefore promulgated the circulars above mentioned Before those circulars could become effective the Commission was served with an injunction from the Circuit Court of the United States for the Northern District of Georgia at the instance of the Central Trust Company of New York and of various railroads in this State claiming to be affected thereby temporarily enjoining
4
the Commission from enforcing the said circulars These cases were set for hearing and continued from time to time for one cause and another until November 28 1904 when a hearing was partially had on the merits of the cases Pending the hearing on the question of permanent injunction a proposition was made by the leading counsel for the railroads to the AttorneyGeneral of the State who ably represented the Commission and to the Commission whereby it was proposed that if Circulars 3 an 302 should be abrogated by the Commission then the roads would dismiss their various causes against the Commission from the Courts The roads suggested further that if this were done they would undertake to ma e such a reduction and revision of rates as would be acceptable to the Commission Upon the advice of the AttorneyGeneral the Commission deemed it wise to adopt this course which was accordingly done As a result of this course on the part of the Commission there have been already large reductions made in interstate rates by the various roads entering the State with the promise of further reductions on intrastate rates By reason of the reductions already made the people of the State will be saved thousands of dollars annually in freight rates Should the litigation above referred to have remained to be settled in the Courts it would have required months and possibly years to reach a final decision whereas by the course pursued by the Commission practically the same results have been attained as if the litigation had terminated in favor of the State at the end of years of tedious litigation in the courts
During the past year the Commission has established a number of freight and passenger depots and stations on different roads throughout the State It has also decided numbers of cases of demurrage and overcharges and adjusted many differences between the shippers and the carriers
of the State
RECOMMENDATIONS
The Commission begs leave to call attention to the increasing business of this office and the immense volume of correspondence and clerical work necessary to meet the demands upon it for information from shippers carriers and people in this and other States The demands for the annual reports and railroad maps are yearly increasing till the printing fund is inadequate to meet the demands in this regard To these ends the Commission recommends that the General Assembly increase the appro
5
priations for the printing and contingent funds of this department and also the salary of the faithful and efficient Secretary whose salary is far below what men of his capacity obtain by similar service elsewhere
EXTRA PASSENGER TRAINS WHEN REGULAR TRAINS ARE MUCH BEHIND SCHEDULE
The competition between the main lines of railway in this State for through passengers who reach them generally in sleeping cars results during nearly half of the months of the year and measurably during the other months in their trains leaving initial points behind their scheduled time for departure by reason of waiting for the arrival of trains due on connecting roads These delays in time of departure are very frequently more than one hour and in many cases from two to four hours The inconvenience to the people at the local stations as the result of these delays is very great Business men ladies with children sometimes physicians called to treat serious cases at other stations must wait at these way stations for hours losing valuable time and if the weather be inclement even endangering health because the trains do not arrive approximately on schedule time
On the main lines in Georgia over which through sleeping cars run there are upwards of 450 stations On some of these lines there are two or three trains per day carrying sleeping cars hence the long delays caused by waiting at initial points for the through cars are multiplied in that proportion and although the through trains do not stop at all of these stations the number of local patrons thus inconvenienced it will readily be observed amounts to possibly thousands per day And the number is much increased when we add those at stations on the branch roads and other connections whose trains are held awaiting the arrival of
those on the main lines
It is not to the interest of this State that so much of its business energy should be thus suspended daily that such inconvenience and annoyance should be thus inflicted upon the Georgia patrons of the railroads solely for the accommodation of a few through passengers hence we recommend that the railroad companies whose trains are thus held out of their advertised schedules be required by the General Assembly to run passenger trains for the benefit of their local patrons on those days when the demands of their through service cause such delays of the character
6
above referred to as may be deemed against the interest of the local patrons and we recommend that the Railroad Commission be clothed with power for enforcing this proposed law
END PLATFORMS AND DOORS TO FREIGHT CONDUCTORS
CABS
It has been brought to the notice of the Commission that on some of the railroad lines in this State the cabs of the conductors of freight trains have no end platforms or doors It is needless to say that these end platforms add to the safety of the crews who otherwise have no access to the interiors of the cabs except by side doors reached by ladders Hence we recommend that the General Assembly enact a law to the effect that end platforms and doors be provided for all freight conductors cabs
FAILURE OF RAILROADS TO PROMPTLY RECEIVE AND TRANSPORT GOODS OFFERED FOR SHIPMENT
Many complaints bave from time to time been made to the Commission that the railroad companies principally at noncompetitive points on the lines of their several roads fail or refuse to receive receipt for and forward promptly to destination goods which are tendered to them for shipment This is notably true during the cotton and fertilizer seasons and of shipments of those commodities The companies when complaint is made seek to excuse the failure so to receive receipt for and forward to destination goods offered for shipment upon the ground that their rolling stock is otherwise employed The Commission is of the opinion that every railroad company engaged in business within the State of Georgia should provide itself with rolling stock and other equipment adequate to the prompt and expeditious transportation of any freights which may be offered It is our opinion that the duty of the railroad companies and the interests of the business and shipping public demand that this should be done The socalled extraordinary conditions arising from the sudden access of great volumes of freight in view of their necessarily frequent recurrence should be anticipated and provision should be first made by the railroad companies of this State for the movement of traffic originatiug in this State and offered for shipment by its citizens
It will be observed that while this Commission has ample power to prescribe and regulate rates of freight the General Assembly has not here
7
tofore conferred upon it the power to prescribe the time within which the carrier companies of the State should receive receipt for and forward to destination freights tendered for shipment
While the Commission has power to fix as against the citizen the amount which the railroad companies may exact by way of demurrage and storage for the failure promptly to receive from the railroad company freight which has been tendered in pursuance of the bill of lading the Legislature has not conferred upon the Commission the corresponding power to impose upon the railroad companies a penalty for a failure promptly to receive receipt for and forward to destination goods offered for shipment An Act conferring upon this Commission such a power with an appropriate penalty for violation of its orders carrying into effect the power conferred was introduced at the suggestion of the Railroad Commission at the last session of the General Assembly but failed of its passage Such an Act would be of inestimable value to the people of the State and would protect them against the vexation annoyance and pecuniary loss resulting from the delays above mentioned and to which they should not be subjected
To the foregoing matters the Commission has repeatedly called the attention of the General Assembly and has felt a sense of disappointment that notwithstanding the personal efforts of the members of the Commission in appearing before the Committees of the General Assembly to present the arguments in favor of the matters thus recommended the Legislature has not seen proper to pass any of the measures submitted at the suggestion of the Commission
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 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 such an important 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 will render possible the interchange of freights and cars between such lines Several 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 were put upon the people who are entitled to route their 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 TO 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
For 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 suit in the county where the companys principal offices are located And this notwithstanding the fact that the States evidence to prove the necessity 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 a 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 V obedience to its rules and regulations is to sue in the courts for the recovJ ery of penalties provided by the statute in cases where such rules and reg
ulations are violated
This remedy is manifestly inadequate and ought to be improved lhe law should in our judgment be so ammendedas to enable the courts of this State either by mandamus or mandatory injunction in a summary way to compel carriers specifically to 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 exorbitant 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 finds that it would be to its financial advantage to litigate even if compelled finally 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 would best demonstrate whether it was reasonable or unreasonable It would enable the Commission togive immediate relief to the public and at the same time would reserve to the carrier companies all of the legal rights that they now enjoy Hence we earnestly recommend that the law be amended as above indicated
10
CONCLUSION
In conclusion we beg to submit that with the changes in the law nereinbefore suggested it is the opinion of this Commission that the people of no section of the State would have reason to suffer as a consequenee of their want of proper railroad service and facilities
All of which is respectfully submitted

DIRECTIONS FOR COMPUTING RATES
For the benefit of those who may not be familiar with the subject the following directions are given for the 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 Tennille being on the line of the Central of Georgia Railway we turn to the distance tables of that company on page 77 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 C and that reference is made to page No 37 Turning to page 37 a classified list of railroads in Georgia is found the Central being in Class C and on the opposite page No 36 we find that on several classes of freight all roads in Class C are allowed to add 25 per cent to rates shown in the Standard Tariff
Now turn to the Classification which begins on page 41 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 38 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 ascertained and deduct from the total ten per cent of the amount and the remainder 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 J cents or 86 cents which subtracted from the total of 855 leaves a net maximum joint rate of 769 on the shipment
careful reading of all the rules will be of very great assistance Especial reference is made to Freight Rules Nos 1 7 8 9 18 19 27
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
Note While 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
