In considering the reports of Terminal Companies it should be remembered that these are generally only Jtiiatedar segregated parts of railroads such as Union Depots orswitching and interchange service corporations organized by the carriers for re performance ioi switching delivery and terminal services to theejsstituent or owning companies Practically all the earnings are from reqfSconcessions train service switching etc and consequently
5
rarely show anywhere any net earnings No passenger or freight depot considered alone and apart from the other components of a railroad could be expected to show earnings
As indicative of the steady growth in the business of the public service corporations in Georgia the following comparative table of income operating expenses and net earnings for the past three years is submitted

Number of miles second track main line 8023
Number of miles siding passing and yard track 187715
Number of miles single track main line in operation June
30 1911 corrected 709494
Actual increase in new milegae placed in operation during
twelve months ending June 30 1912 7223 miles
For the first time this year the Annual Report of the Commission shows the main line second track mileage in the State as also the mileage of sidings passing and yard tracks
From the above it will be seen that there were laid and in use in Georgia June 30 1912 912374 miles of raij
OPERATING EXPENSES AND EARNINGS For the fiscal year ending June 30 1912 the gross earnings in Georgia of
all steam railroads operating in the State aggregated 5081355222
Operating expenses 3665196256
Total net earnings 1419521254
Out of the net earnings such fixed charges as taxes interest on bonded indebtedness and improvements and dividends if any must be paid
For the Year Ending June 30 1911
Gross earnings 4726245927
Operating expenses 3298067428
Net earnings 1435395419
In 1911 Georgia railroads paid to operate their roads 6978 cents out of every one hundred cents received as revenue
In 1912 they paid for operating 7173 cents out of every one hundred cents of revenue
The gross earnings from Georgia business for 1912 showed a net increase over 1911 of 355109095 but operating expenses alone increased 367128828 for 1912 over 1911
Net earnings decreased 15874165 for 1912 as compared with 1911
The commission has been making a study and analysis of these operating expense accounts in an effort to account for these increases and determine if they were reasonable or necessary
In order to ascertain causes which might not be temporary the Commission has gone back to 1908 in its investigations covering a period of five years The largest items in Operating Expenses are Wages and Maintenance and Equipment the last account covering the upkeep of the road and rolling stock
7
In 1908 the railroads operating in Georgia employed in Georgia 34809 persons in 1912 they employed 39691 persons
The wages paid these 39691 employees in 1912 exceeded the wages paid 34809 employees in 1908 577110493 In other words Georgia railroads paid in wages in Georgia in 1912 577110493 more than in 1908 This however was to a larger number of employees The individual wage scales show that had the number of employees for 1912 been kept the same as in 1908 they are being paid 366872521 more than in 1908
In other words the 34809 employees in 1908 received 366872521 more in 1912 which is an average increase to each railroad employee in Georgia in 1912 over 1908 of more than 10500 per annum
The Commission has taken ten trunk line roads in the State to witThe Southern the Seaboard the Atlantic Coast Line the Louisville Nashville the Georgia Southern Florida the Georgia Railroad the Atlanta West Point the Atlanta Birmingham and Atlantic the Central of Georgia and the Western Atlantic and their wage accounts show that they paid in 1912 to the same number of employees as in 1908 in wages 260479490 more than in 1908
The individual wage scale further shows that by far the largest increase in wages have been paid to employees belonging to Labor Unions such as engineers firemen conductors train hands etc
From special reports called for and secured from these same trunk lines the Commission finds that the average unit cost of the principal items in maintenance and equipment accounts in 1912 was considerably increased over 1908 as shown by the following table of unit costs for said years
Average Unit Cost of Equipment Materials Etc for Ten Trunk Lines
ITEMS Unit
Steel rails F O B

Cross ties Per tie
Lumber Per 1000 ft
Coal at mines Per ton
Locomotives average each purchased
Passenger coaches average each purchased
Express Cars average each purchased
Mail cars average each purchased
Freight Box Cars average each purchased
Coal Cars average each purchased
Flat Cars average each purchased
In connection with the cost of rolling stock it should be remembered that the units that is engines and cars purchased averaged larger and of greater capacity each in 1912 than in 1908 and also that frequently steel cars and coaches have supplanted wooden

ANALYSIS OF TEN TRUNK LINES OPERATIONS
The Commission has not had sufficient clerical help in its office to make many interesting statistical compilations from operating reports made to it by public service corporations but it has partially analyzed the operating and earnings reports of ten trunk line railroads and these it submits herewith Similar compilations were made by the Commission last year for the first time and the table following compares 1912 data with that of 1911
See Accompanying Table
A study of the reports of all steam railroads in Georgia indicates that they transported in 1912 19746069 revenue passengers as compared with 18833638 in 1911 The average distance of passenger hauls was 3061 miles as compared with 2978 in 1911
All roads transported in 1912 38349508 revenue tons of freight as compared with 36422235 tons in 1911 The average distance haul in 1912 was 14543 miles as compared with 13777 miles in 1911 The above figures because of some incomplete reports are not absolutely accurate but are substantially correct and may be fairly used in a statement of averages
TRACK INSPECTIONS
Since its last annual report the Commission has had inspections made by its Inspector of tracks bridges trestles depots etc as follows
Louisville Nashville Railroad
Marietta to Tennessee State Line 92 miles
Blue Ridge to North Carolina State Line 12 miles
Tallulah Falls Railway
Cornelia to North Carolina State Line43 miles
Gainesville Midland Railway
Athens to Gainesville 42 miles
Belmont to Monroe Narrow gauge 32 miles
Southern Railway
Lula to Athens 39 miles
Georgia Coast Piedmont Railroad
Darien to Collins 82 miles
Georgia Florida Railway
Vidalia to Keysville 75 miles
Brinson Railway
Waynesboro to Savannah96 miles
In the cases of the Louisville Nashville Tallulah Falls Gainesville Midland and Southern Railway copies of the Inspectors reports were served upon the said roads with formal order to correct the defects and imperfections as set out in the reports within a specified time
Our records show that under these orders all the roads involved have proceeded actively and reports from the different roads indicate that substantial improvements have been made and the spirit of the Commissions orders complied with In the other inspections mentioned improvements have been ordered but the time limits allowed for reporting have not yet expired
The above statement shows a total of 513 miles of main line track inspected
during the period mentioned

STREET RAILROADS GAS AND ELECTRIC COMPANIES
Fortyeight street railroads gas and electric light companies reported to the Commission for 1912 as compared with fortyfive in 1911

78333000 were revenue passengers and 15929623 transfer or nonrevenue passengers
There is now but one horse car line of street railroad in Georgia to wit the Covington and Oxford Street Railroad
The Fairburn and College Park Suburban Line operates with gasoline motors but will at an early date the Commission learns electrify its lines
STEAM AND ELECTRIC RAILROAD ACCIDENTS
The safety of the public in travel upon steam and electric railroads and upon boats should always be a matter of deep concern to government as well as to carriers
There is always more or less danger accompanying such travel but the danger to life and limb to employees of carriers and to persons who are not passengers but in a sense trespassers on rights of way and tracks and to persons upon or using streets and highways jointly with carriers is frequently greater than to actual passengers The crossing of streets and highways at grade by steam and electric railroads presents a constant menace to life and limb The heedlessness or carelessness so frequently responsible for accidents at grade crossings investigations show can not in every instance be charged to the carriers In a large per centage of such accidents the persons injured are not entirely free from fault
10
The gradual abolition of existing grade crossings should be considered and in our opinion when undertaken the expense should be borne in some fair degree jointly by the public and the carriers
The establishment of new grade crossings should only be allowed with some governmental permit and only in cases of necessity
Report of accidents required by the Commission from steam and electric railroads for 1912 have included all persons injured by such carriers separating the injured into three classes passengers employees and other persons Included in the last are all persons on the trains other than passengers and road employees such as express mail and news agents et al
The accident tables in another part of this report show that for 1912 steam and electric roads killed and injured 4566 persons in Georgia In 1912 they killed and injured 3865 passengers and employees as against 2166 for 1911 Other persons killed or injured in 1911 were not required reported and hence no comparison of the total of all persons killed and injured in 1911 and 1912 can be made
It is particularly interesting to note from these accident reports that the street railroads of the State did not kill a single passenger out of 98635596 transported
OPERATION OF TELEPHONE COMPANIES
Eightyone separate telephone companies reported to the Commission for 1912 as against sixtyone for 1911 This does not mean an increase in companies doing business in Georgia of twenty over 1911 but the increase is in companies reporting The Commission has experienced more difficulty in compelling reports from Telephone Companies than all other utilities combined During the past year the Commission went after the delinquent companies with intimations of penalty suits and as a result twenty additional companies reported
The Commission experienced still greater difficulties in securing intelligent and correct reports Many of the telephone companies are small one man concerns and practically keep no accounting records Many of them have probably only two accounts on their books receipts and expenditures and to the last they charge payments for betterments additions and other capital account items It has been almost impossible for the Commission to compel any intelligent accounting methods by these small companies Many of the small companies reporting practically no earnings in reality would show fair earnings had they kept the proper accounts and not included capital charges in their operating expenses
The reports as made notwithstanding inaccuracies in the smaller companies accounting methods show large increases in gross and net earnings for 1912 over 1911
Only two out of the eightyone companies reported operating expenses in excess of income th deficits of these two companies aggregating 307042 The Commission is satisfied that the larger of these two has erroneously charged Capital Account items to operating expenses and that it should show some net earnings
The other seventynine companies report net earnings of 136981622

The gross earnings operating expenses and net earnings for 1911 and 1912
are as follows

LITIGATION
During the past year two orders of the Commission have been questioned by carriers in the courts The first involves the validity of the order of the Commission requiring railroads selling mileage books to honor the same for train passage in intrastate travel under certain conditions and to desist from requiring coupons from mileage books to be exchanged for passage tickets prior to the boarding of trains
This litigation was instituted in Fulton Superior Court by a number of the trunk line carriers selling mileage by a bill for injunction Upon the hearing before Judge W D Ellis in February last the temporary order restraining the Commission from any steps to enforce its order was made permanent The Commission appealed the case to the Supreme Court of Georgia where it is pending at this writing under assignment for argument April 21st
The second order being questioned is one by the Commission ordering the Lawrenceville Branch Railroad Company and the Seaboard Air Line Railway Company to make and operate physical connection between their lines at Lawrenceville Georgia
The Seaboard Air Line Railway has applied by bill in the Federal Court for the Northern District of Georgia for an order restraining the Commission from taking any steps to enforce its order The bill is now pending having been partially heard and is set for further hearing and argument on April 23rd
The Commission has only one other matter of litigation pending this being the suit directed by Your Excellency upon recommendation of the Commission against the Seaboard Air Line Railway in Effingham County Superior Court for a violation of Freight Rule 33 of the Commission in misrouting a shipment of potatoes from Clyo to Augusta Georgia This case has been set for hearing on April 21st The Commission is confident of sustaining its contentions should the issue come to trial
Abstracts of the facts in these three cases are carried elsewhere in this report

EXPRESS RATES AND SERVICE
As stated in its last Annual Report the Commission has given much investigation into and study of the rates practices and services of express companies in Georgia Final action in the matter has been deferred pending final action by the Interstate Commerce Commission in the matter of a similar inquiry by it relating to the rates practices and services of express companies in interstate traffic Inter and intrastate express traffic are so intimately related that uniformity in practices service and the manner of computing rates is especially desirable Many and most beneficial reforms in practices and service have already been brought about by these inquiries and still greater benefits in the matter of rates and charges may be expected from the final order of the Interstate Commerce Commission to be issued probably at an early date
Our Commission expects to embody some reforms which it has in mind in orders to be considered probably during the year These will relate not so much to the actual rates themselves as to the simplification of tariffs and practices and services in general
RECOMMENDATIONS
Under the law it is made the duty of the Commission to recommend from time to time such legislation as they the Commissioners may deem advisable In obedience to this law the Commission submitted several recommendations in its last annual report to which it again invites the attention of the General Assembly The more important were
CERTIFIED COPIES OF RATE SCHEDULES ETC
An amendment to paragraph 2 Section 5 of the Act approved August 22d 1907 to authorize the Chairman of the Commission in the absence of the Secretary to certify any schedule of rates or any order rule or regulation prescribed by the Commission so as to make the same admissible as evidence in the Courts the same as if certified by the Secretary
THROUGH BILLS OF LADING
The enactment of legislation conferring upon the Commission power and authority to require the issuance by carriers of through bills of lading and of coupon passenger tickets and the checking of baggage through to destination Hardly a week passes in the administration of this office that our attention is not called to the necessitous importance of such legislation and we again earnestly recommend its enactment
OVERCHARGE DEMURRAGE CHARGES AND LOSSES
Under the wording of the Act of 1907 in reference to the settlement of overcharges and losses it is difficult for the Commission to formulate such a rule as will stand the test in the courts We therefore urge the amendment of this Act so as to read as follows
It shall have authority to order all railroad companies and other corporations subject to its jurisdiction to pay all just claims for overcharges demurrage charges and for losses and to fix penalties by rule or order or both for failure to pay the same when so required
15
UNION PASSENGER DEPOTS
There are numerous railroad terminal or junction cities and towns in Georgia where in the construction of needed passenger facilities union depots are entirely practicable and would be greatly to the convenience and in the interest of the public
Without express statutory authority the Commission has not been of the opinion that it has authority to compel the erection and operation of Union Passenger depots It therefore recommends that it be given express authority and power to order the erection and operation of Union Passenger depots in cities and towns where the same is practicable can be done with reasoni able expense and is in the interest of the public
GRADE CROSSINGS
Elsewhere in this letter of transmittal the Commission has called attention to accidents frequently occurring in Georgia at grade crossings of public highways by steam and electric railroads There are hundreds of dangerous grade crossings in this State As highway and railroad construction increase as population and the consequent use of highways increase and as there are yearly increasing numbers of trains operated on railroads the danger from grade crossings is rapidly increasing
The lessening of such dangers is therefore a present problem and one more easily solved and with less expense now than in the future
The Commission recommends that the entire subject of the removal improvement or safeguarding of grade crossings of public highways be placed under its jurisdiction and that it be empowered to order their removal by under or over passage the improvement or the safeguarding as in its discretion seems to be proper apportioning the cost in each instance as to it seems equitable The Commission also recommends that no new grade crossings of established highways by railroads or of constructed railroads by new highways be allowed in this State except after application to and upon approval by the Commission
TRACK AND EQUIPMENT INSPECTION
The Commission again urges the great importance of regular inspection by competent officers under its direction of the track and equipment of steam and street railroads Mention is made elsewhere in this report of the fact that since our last annual report we have had about five hundred and thirtythree miles of railroad track inspected The inspections annually are limited by the funds placed at our command Road bed track bridges trestles depots track and warehouse scales locomotives motors and freight and passenger cars ought to be regularly inspected and the attention of operating officials called to discovered defects We are satisfied that thousands of dollars could be saved taxpayers in the State who are also gas and electricity users if the Commission had in its employ competent meter inspectors whose business it should be under direction of the Commission to visit the cities and towns of this State inspecting and testing gas and electric meters equipment etc for municipalities and individual consumers
16
EXPERT APPRAISALS
In addition to the foregoing the Commission earnestly recommends that sufficient funds be given it to enable it to employ when necessary expert engineers for the appraisal of physical values of properties involved in capitalization or rate making questions and for the audit of the books and accounts of interested corporations that reliable and impartial information as to their earnings may be secured Without knowledge of the fair value of the property devoted to the public use at the time of the inquiry and of what it is earning at that time under existing rates it is impossible for a Commission to do better than merely guess at what is a reasonbale and just rate
It is well settled that every public service corporation is entitled to such rates as will give it a fair return upon the fair value of its property at the time it is being used for the public provided such rates shall not exceed the value to the public of the service rendered It is absolutely essential therefore in fixing rates for such corporations which will be fair to them and the public that the Commission should be accurately informed of the present values of their properties and of the returns they are receiving at the time from existing rates
Valuation appraisals and the study and analysis of accounts involve the finest expert skill
The Commission ought to have at its command sufficient funds to employ its own experts for such work in order to secure full disinterested and impartial information on these vitally important points
A private citizen complaining of unreasonably high rates in his town for gas or electric lights can not afford such an expense of course The Commission has not sufficient funds and the result is that no real and thorough investigation can be made and justice may fail entirely to one party or great injustice be done the other
Corporations are constantly applying for the approval of stock and bond issues based upon estimates of values made entirely by their own engineers The Commission ought not to be forced to accept them as true or reject them as exaggerated without having impartial appraisals by competent engineers in its employ by which to justify its approval or disapproval
ADDITIONAL OFFICE WORK
The Conimission hesitates to prefer any recommendation involving additional expense to the State in its work and only does so under a realization of a real need This office requires numerous reports from corporations subject to its jurisdiction carrying important information as to their rates expenses income operations services etc These should be carefully analyzed as received and the results tabulated for the use of the Commission in its frequent investigations of complaints as also for the information of the public
Again the Commission has very frequent investigations in which much oral evidence is taken In a subsequent consideration of the case the Commissioners are compelled to rely entirely upon their memories as to the facts submitted in evidence This is very unsatisfactory In all important cases the entire evidence should be stenographically reported written out and permanently preserved with the record of the case This is especially im
j
17
portant should litigation over the Commissions decision or order in the matter arise
With sufficient funds say 200000 per annum the Commission could secure a statistical clerk who would be a stenographer and report all important cases heard This combination of duties would keep one competent clerk busy the entire time greatly facilitate the work of the Commission and enable it to supply the public with much desirable information as to the financial operations and services of the corporations doing business in the State The present clerical force of the Commission has all the work it can possibly do

STOCK AND BOND ISSUES
Elsewhere in this report will be found the rules prescribed by the Commission governing applications for authority to issue stock and bonds Upon receipt of an application for approval of stocks and bonds the Commission issues a preliminary order prescribing notice which the applicant shall cause to be inserted in newspapers published in the cities serving the territory through which or at which the petitioning company will be engaged in business and setting petition down for formal hearing Notice of the date fixed by the Commission for the hearing is given all parties likely to be interested and full opportunity given them to present whatever facts they might desire the Commission to consider At the hearing the proper officials of the petitioning company are sworn and examination made by the Commission as to the details of the purposes and necessities of the proposed issues
Investigation of all necessary books papers and other documents and other examinations are made as are necessary to furnish full information in the premises In every case where the desired issues are approved or whatever part thereof is approved the Commission in its order approving same requires the company to report in detail within ninety days from date of order what disposition has been made of the stock and bonds allowed and if no disposition is made within that time such report is required every ninety days thereafter until disposition is made
CLAIMS
By reference to the statement of formal complaints petitions etc appearing elsewhere in this report it will be noted that the Commission is called upon to handle claims of every description In many instances claimants have complained that their claims have been pending with the company complained against for months and not infrequently for one and two years and sometimes longer and that notwithstanding their repeated efforts to secure proper disposition the railway companies still refuse to dispose of them Oftentimes the Commission handles such claims and upon taking them up with the railway companies at interest satisfactory settlement is secured within a few days This is accounted for by reason of the fact that the Commission thoroughly considers the papers and points out to the company complained against whatever rights claimants have if their rights are plain the Commission presents them to the defendant company and points out plainly wherein and to what extent correction should be made if the contentions of the claimants are not well founded they are so advised and usually withdraw the claims
Less trouble is incurred in the satisfactory disposition of claims for overcharge than probably any other class of claims and this is due in a large measure to the fact that the extent of the liability of the defendant company is more easily ascertained in fact is fixed as there can be only one correct rate and the only requirement in such cases is to ascertain what the correct rate is covering the shipment out of which claim accrued When such claims are filed with the Commission the papers are thoroughly examined the correct rate determined and the amount of the overcharge if any ascertained and a full
19
statement of all of the facts in the case plainly pointed out to the company against which claim is filed In cases of overcharge claims against railroad companies unless there is a difference between shippers and the railroad company as to the proper classification of the article shipped the correct rate is easily applied Where the proper charges are brought into question by reason of difference of opinion as to what class the goods shipped should be rated if the shipment is intrastate or local to the state of Georgia and therefore within its control the Commission specifies the proper classification or rating and notifies the railroad company as to the basis upon which claim should be settled If the claim grows out of an interstate shipment the Commission handles same with the railroad company in an informal way advising it as to its opinion in the matter and requesting disposition accordingly If the railroad companies refuse to carry out its suggestions in such cases the Commission informs claimants of its inability to further serve them but always informing them of its readiness to assist them in prosecuting their claim before the Interstate Commerce Commission if that Commission has jurisdiction in the master and if not in serving them in any other way that claimants might suggest
Claims for loss are handled in the same manner that is notwithstanding a lack of authority to require such claims paid the Commission always makes a thorough investigation of this class of claims and takes the same up with the companies complained against furnishing them with the result of its investigation and urging the companies to give preferred attention to same
The same is true as to claims for damage but this class of claims is probably the most difficult to satisfactorily handle Some of the difficulties incurred in handling such claims grow out of the differences between the claimant and the defendant company as to the extent of damage sustained the claims oftentimes are made account of concealed damage or damage which was not detected until the goods were unpacked and after delivery was made and the defendant company held receipt for delivery in good order Many claims for damage are filed for goods lost or broken in transit which were shipped under a released valuation claimants contending for full value of goods lost or damaged In such cases the railroads decline to admit of liability beyond the value specified in the billlading while the shippers contend that the damage complained of and for which claim was made was the result of carelessness and negligence on the part of the defendant company and for which shippers could not be required to give release In addition to these questions there also arises from time to time differences as to the extent of damage due to the value of the goods at the time same were purchased and at the time they reached or should have reached destination claimants contending that the damage not only extended to the specific invoice value of tfie goods but also prevented them from obtaining the benefit of an increased market price etc Thus it will be seen that claims of this character are not always brought to a satisfactory conclusion but th Commission has nevertheless been instrumental in a large number of cases in bringing about settlements of damage claims which were satisfactory to all parties concerned
Claims for penalty demurrage when claims of this character are filed the same are carefully reviewed in this office and a detailed statement made as to
20
the application of the rule in question If the claims are filed account delay in transportation the Commission estimates the time which the railroad company was allowed within which to complete the transportation and serves the defendant company with a notice to show cause why the amount due shippers jinder its rules should not be paid And if the claim is filed account delay in giving notice of arrival delay in placing delay in forwarding delay in furnishing cars or under some other rule the correct amount of penalty due if any is found to be due is determined by the Commission and the matter taken up with the company complained against
Various reasons are given by the railroad companies why they should not be required to pay different claims filed by shippers under the reciprocal demurrage rules of the Commission In some cases the railroads decline to admit of liability because shippers sustained no actual money damage by reason of the delay that the movement out of which claim accrued took place at a time when the yards of the railroad company were congested or during a strike of its employees or that an accident to the car in transit rendered necessary certain repairs before car could be forwarded or that the railroad company alleged to be at fault exercised all reasonable diligence in transportation of the shipment and delivered same as soon as practicable
The Commission has never recognized any of these reasons as sufficient to relieve the railroad companies of the penalties incurred by reason of failure to comply with its rules and with few exceptions each case of course being handled on its own merits has received as a sufficient excuse for delays only occasions which caused delays that were beyond the control of the transportation companies
Claims for refund of demurrage charges which claimants contend were improperly collected under the rules of the Commission are more easily disposed of as in such cases like claims for overcharge the Commission interprets its rule and applies same to the case in question and the railroad companies in nearly all instances promptly dispose of claims in line with the ruling of the Commission
21
DEPOTS AND SIDETRACKS
Petitions for depots and sidetracks receive the same method of handling by the Commission While in these cases no special form of petition is required by the Commission it is desired always that same show all necessities for the facilities desired Each case of course stands upon its own merits and the conditions peculiar to each Some of the conditions concerning which the Commission in every case desires information and which are investigated by it are as relates to petitions for depots the amount of business both freight and passenger done at the station where the facilities are desired the number of business firms manufactories stores and other business enterprises the population of the immediate community to be served including as well the surrounding country number of schools churches etc As relates to petitions for sidetracks so much of the above information as will tend to show the necesr
sities for sidetrack facilities
Upon receipt of such petitions the Commission serves copy upon the railway company at interest calling upon it to show cause if any it can why the petition should not be granted as in this way cases are often satisfactorily disposed of without the necessity of petitioners being put to the expense of coming to Atlanta to attend a formal hearing before the Commission If the defendant company in its response declines to admit the reasonableness of petitioners request and to provide the desired facilities or if said company within a reasonable time fails to make response the petition is set down for formal hearing and all parties at interest so notified If at the hearing no satisfactory agreement is reached and the petitioners and railroad company are disagreed as to the main points of contention the Commission requests the Committee of the Board on Depots and Sidetracks to visit the point at which facilities are desired for the purpose of making a personal inspection of the necessities therefor
If upon consideration of the evidence and arguments submitted at the hearingand upon consideration of the report of the Committee of the Board when such report is made the Commission is of the opinion that the petition should be granted an order is issued in case of depots requiring the defendant company to file blue print of plans for such improvements as will meet the demands of the traveling and shipping public at the point at interest the usual time allowed by the Commission for filing blue prints being 15 days from date of the order If upon receipt of the blue print the Commission upon consideration thereof is of the opinion that the same contemplates adequate and comfortable accommodations blue print is approved and the railroad company ordered to construct depot in accordance therewith The usual time within which depots shall be constructed and opened for the use of the public being ninety days from the date of the order
In case of sidetracks where the Commission is of the opinion after due investigation that the track should be constructed an order is issued requiring that same be put in upon the usual terms upon which the railroad company at interest constructs and maintains sidetracks the time allowed for the construction of sidetracks depending upon the conditions surrounding each case
22
as to the length of the track to be constructed amount of work necessary in grading and other conditions peculiar to each case
As will be seen by reference to the statement of formal complaints and petitions filed with the Commission since its last annual report the Commission has been called upon to consider a large number of petitions for sidetracks and depots
RATE OR TARIFF DEPARTMENT
Effective March 1st 1909 the Commission appointed a rate expert as provided for by the Act of 1907 Since that date in addition to the work heretofore kept up the Commission has been endeavoring to complete a file of tariffs and while its tariff file is not yet as complete as will soon be the Commission is now prepared to furnish shippers all necessary information relative to rates and rules governing shipments not only between points in Georgia but as to shipments moving into and out of the State
Prior to the filling of this new position it was impracticable to keep up even an incomplete file of tariffs as no one in the office of the Commission familiar with this line of work had time to devote to it We consider this branch of the Commissions work one of the most important in all of its duties To be able to furnish the citizens of this State with information as to rates both between points in Georgia and from and to interstate points promptly upon request therefor and to give such inquirers reliable informationsuch as they can act upon with assurance of correctnessis one of the most important services that can be rendered to the shipping and traveling public especially so since the question of transportation charges has come to be such an important item in the conduct of every business So as has been stated it is the desire and the purpose of the Commission to spare no time and work in building up this department of the office to that point where it will be of great demand and prove an invaluable convenience and assistance to the shippers of this State The office has always been called upon for information as to current rates classifications rules etc but since the creation of this new office inquiries of this kind have very largely increased
The duties of the Rate Expert however are by no means confined to the questions of rate quotations and furnishing information upon request but he is required to serve the Commission not only in matters of rates classifications and the like but in any other matters wherein his services may be required by the Commission He is required to attend all hearings involving rates either of railroads or other corporations subject to the control of the Commission and to furnish assistance upon the consideration and determination of any and all questions coming before the Commission where his services are required
When it is considered that every railroad company is required to publish and post at each of its agencies a schedule of rates applying therefrom and that sixtyodd railway companies in Georgia without reference to the great number engaged in interstate business not operating in Georgia but which handle Georgia business and in which Georgia shippers are interested are daily making changes in their tariffs by issuing supplements thereto an idea can be had
23
as to the importance and necessity if a tariff file is to he kept up to date of having a man in charge of this work
Since the powers of the Interstate Commerce Commission have been increased by Congress and that Commission has promulgated rules covering every feature of interstate transportation it is absolutely necessary for the Commission to have some one in the office familiar with rates and rate matters to keep up with such questions if the shippers of Georgia are to have access to accurate and full information of the kind and able to secure same promptly whenever desired
The Commission from time to time has occasion upon its own initiative to investigate rates to and from particular localities and when complaints involving rates either of railroad companies or other corporations subject to the jurisdiction of the Commission are received a detailed statement of all the facts in each case is desired by the Commission and same could not be had without the services of some one familiar with that kind of work

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 page 169 where the distance from Savannah to Tennille is shown to be 135 miles Turning to page 114 a classified list of railroads in Georgia is found the Central being in Class C and on the opposite page 115 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 120 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 116 and follow down the first column which shows the miles There being nb 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 per cent 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 500pound shipment 355
Directions to Agents Regarding the Construction qf
Joint Rates
Rule No 27 provides that the maximum charge on a shipment which moves between two points both located in the State of Georgia but not located on the same road shall be 90 per cent of the sum of the local rates allowed to be charged by the roads handling the freight
To illustrate on a shipment of freight taking 1st class the rate from Fairbum Ga to Covington Ga on the Georgia R R will be arrived at as follows viz Take the A W P rate for 1st class Fairburn to Atlanta which is 20c to this add the Georgia R R rate from Atlanta to Covington 41 miles which will be found to be 27c making 47 From this 10 pev cent must be deducted 10 per
119
cent of 47c is 4 and 710 cents or 5c estimating tlie fraction as a unit deduct this from 47c and the result will be 42c which is the through 1st class rate Fairburn to Covington
In dividing the through rate each line will he allowed its local less 10 per cent i e the A W P will receive 20c less 10 per cent or 18c and the Georgia R R 27c less 10 per cent or 24c
The attention of agents is called to the fact that many of the roads are allowed to charge greater than the standard rates The classified list will be found on page 114 and on page 115 will be found the percentage of increase allowed to such roads and care should be taken to see that the standard rates are increased to the extent provided before the deduction of 10 per cent in arriving at joint or through rates
