REPORT
LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL AND REVIEW
Atlanta Ga April 1st 1917
To Jtiis Excellency N E Harris Governor
Sir In obedience to law the Railroad Commission of Georgia submits this its FortyFourth Report the same being for the year ended December 31 1916
In line with the requirements of the Interstate Commerce Commission the Railroad Commission of Georgia has heretofore required annual reports ds to their business from steam railroads express companies and telephone and telegraph companies to cover the twelve months ending on June 30th of each year During the past year the Interstate Commerce Commission after advising with the State Commissions and the various public service corporations under its jurisdiction determined to change the reporting year from June 30th so as to correspond with the calendar year and end on December 31st
In concert with this action this Commission has also adopted the calendar year as the reporting year This report therefore carries financial operating and statistical reports of the utilities above mentioned for two twelve months periods towit for the fiscal year ended June 30 1916 and for the calendar year ended December 31 1916
Beginning with 1917 reports for the calendar year will be required and summarised in the Commissions annual reports

It will be noted that the number of public utilities reporting for 1916 is two more than reported in 1915 This increase is in the number of steam railroads in the State two new railroads towit the Ocmulgee Valley and the Washington Lincolnton railroads having commenced operations during 1916
NUMBER AND CHARACTER OF FORMAL COMPLAINTS HANDLED AND DISPOSED OF DURING 1916 AS COMPARED WITH 1915
During 1916 the Commission made final disposition of 514 petitions complaints and subjects requiring formal action or order as shown in the following comparative table and classification towit
1916 1915
Passenger fares and service 73 57
Freight rates 135 180
Freight service 62 32
Claims for overcharge loss damage and demurrage 65 87
Side tracks and spur tracks 18 15
Depots and stations 17 48
Street ear service and fares 3 10
Gas and electric rates and service 15 25
Express rates and service 23 25
Telegraph and telephone rates and service J 52 29
Stock and bond issues 15 8
Miscellaneous 42 15
Totals 514 530
This table shows a decrease of sixteen in the number of subjects formally disposed of during 1916 under 1915 and a decrease under 1914 of eightyfour cases In addition to the subjects thus disposed of by formal action of the Commission it has through interviews conferences and correspondence handled and disposed of more than 2500 inquiries claims contentions adjudications etc without formal docketing or hearings The Commission is fully convinced that the decrease in the number of complaints requiring formal action by th Commission is due almost wholly to the amicable relations in the main existing between the public and the corporations serving them In the main 1916 has also been a fairly prosperous business year and it has been our observation that during prosperous times and with fairly satisfactory business conditions complaints as to the rates and services of public utilities are less frequent than in periods of dull and depressed business conditions
The most serious complaints lodged with the Commission during the past winter have been as to car nd equipment shortages on the railroads of the State While much of this trouble has been due to freight congestion at the ports particularly in the East and to this extent unavoidable by the rail carriers yet we are satisfied that much of it in Georgia has been due to the lack of repairs and maintenance
4
during 1914 and 1915 when transportation conditions were such as to require rigid economy in operating
Concurrently with the return of normal traffic conditions during 1915 and especially during the past winter prices of equipment have greatly increased It has also been difficult to secure prompt deliveries even at increased prices
Of the ten trunk lines operating in Georgia six had fewer freight cars in service on June 30 1916 than in 1913 notwithstanding there was a much heavier tonnage of traffic than in 1913
Many of the short lines in Georgia own very limited equipment and are practically without any of special types such as coal cars stock cars etc
Locomotives in service June 30 1916 were fewer than in 1915 and only slightly in excess of the number in service in 1913
In view of the probable demands which will be made by the Federal Government during the next fall and winter for preferred transportation of troops and governmental supplies and materials the Commission is fearful that the movement of crops and commercial freight may be seriously inconvenienced and delayed
FINANCIAL RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OF PUBLIC SERVICE CORPORATIONS REPORTING TO THE COMMISSION
It will be noted that the results of the operations of public service corporations reporting to the Commission for the fiscal year ended June 30 1916 show a gratifying improvement both in gross and net as compared with the previous year Gross earnings are not quite so large as for the year ending June 30 1914 but net earnings are larger At the time this report goes to press gross earnings are bolding up well as compared with all previous years but operating expenses and taxes are showing considerable increases

it should be borne in mind that net earnings as shown above represent the excess of earnings over 1 operating expenses and are not synonymous with net income From net earnings there must be deducted taxes and interest charges before there can be any dividends to stockholders although interest charges on funded debt incurred for capital account expenditures are in the nature of a return on investment

The above table includes only taxes paid within Georgia to the State Counties Municipalities and School Districts These figures do not include any taxes paid to the Federal Government such as Capital Stock Income and Excess Profit Taxes It is well known that these Federal taxes have been materially increased during the past year and that additional increases for war expenses will be made during this year
LITIGATION
In the last annual report of the Commission mention was made of the fact that at that time there was pending in the courts only one case to which the Commission was a party that being an appeal pending in the Supreme Court of Georgia by J itney Bus operators based upon the refusal of one of the judges of Fulton Superior Court to issue an order restraining the Commission from the promulgation of rules regulating their public services as common carriers Since then the Supreme Court has aflirmed the action of the lower court and the case has been remanded for trial on the main issues
During 1916 as already stated the Commission has made final disposition of 514 formal petitions complaints etc involving orders and rulings not one of which has been appealed from or contested before the courts or elsewhere
PETITIONS FOR INTRA STATE FREIGHT RATE REVISION
In its last annual report the Commission mentioned the fact that there were then on file with it petitions by practically all of the railroads of the State for radical and revolutionary revision of our intrastate freight classification and tariffs and in the rules and regulations now in force in Georgia governing rail transportation of freight traffic wholly within the State and that since its creation in 1879 the Commission had not been called upon to conduct an investigation of such importance and magnitude as was involved in these petitions
They are still pending Because of the scope of the inquiry and of the complexities in the questions involved much time for the proper preparation of their cases by the carriers and for counter showings by shippers and other interested
8

protestants was needed and it was not until August 17 1916 that actual hearings and introduction of evidence were commenced The fullest opportunity for submission of all relevant testimony has been given to all parties desirous of being heard and the introduction of evidence was only completed on May 8 1917 the Commission having been actually engaged in hearing testimony sixtyone days The oral testimony introduced covers 7675 typewritten pages besides over 1300 formal exhibits of from one to three hundred and thirtyfour pages each
Petitioners and protestants have been given until July 7th next for the filing of printed briefs and arguments after which the Commission will begin its study of the completed record
The extent of this inquiry the amount of work involved in its proper disposition by the Commission and the farreaching effect of such orders as the Commission may issue therein are almost inconceivable to one who has had no part in its conduct nor expert familiarity with its complexities involving not merely the reformation of our freight classification the reconstruction of our freight rate structure and the amendment of the rules and regulations governing rail freight transportation within Georgia but their relation to interstate classifications rates rules and regulations
RECOMMENDATIONS
Under the law it is made the duty of the Railroad Commission of Georgia to recommend from time to time such legislation as they the Commissioners may deem nefeessary
In obedience to this mandate the Commission has from time to tipie submitted recommendations as to legislation A few of these have been considered by committees of the General Assembly but so far as we can recall none have been enacted into laws Some of these are in our opinion of such importance hat we feel constrained to again invite the attention of the General Assembly thereto
FREIGHT CLASSIFICATION AND TARIFFS
In its FortyFirst Report the Commission stated that in its opinion its then most urgent and important duty was to make a complete and radical revision of its freight classification and of its standard tariff but that this duty so important alike to carriers and shippers because of the amount of work involved and its technical character was difficult of performance for the lack of a sufficient clerical force in the Commisions office
The task would have been undertaken anyhow during the latter part of 1915 had it not been for the fact that about the time the work would have started the Commission received notice that the railroads of the State would a little later file concerted petitions for the general freight rate revision already mentioned
It was then decided to merge the revision the Commission had in mind into the general revision to be asked for by the rail carriers in the interest of economy in both labor and expense
It is well known that freight rates are in a general way described as class
9
I
rates nd commodity rates Some particular commodities moving in commerce because of their peculiar and individual characteristics are transported under rates applicable alone to them these are generally known as special commodity rates There are numerous commodities so nearly alike in character and movement as that they can be grouped and moved under rates applicable alike to all of the group these are generally known as commodity groups
It is manifestly impracticable however to prescribe a specific or individual rate for every individual commodity or small groups of commodities moving between each and every railroad point in the state
It has therefore been found necessary to classify or group in a large way all known commodities moving or likely to move in commerce according to their similarity in character handling value movement and other like considerations
Tariffs of charges or rates are then prescribed for each class for varying distances according to the value weight bulk packing risks cost of carriage and other similar considerations and these are known as class rates
The different freight classes and the rates or tariff of charges applicable thereto should bear logical and harmonious relation to each other The original and only general freight classification ever attempted or promulgated by the Railroad Commission of Georgia was published as effective May 1 1880
There has been no effort to revise it as a whole since its issuance although numerous amendments and additions have been since made These have been made from time to time by differently constituted Commissions through more than a third of a century as individual cases and needs were brought to the attention of the Commission and as a result of this piece process of building by different builders our current State Classification is permeated with inconsistent conflicting and obsolete descriptions groupings and ratings so that it is often difficult for the Commission itself to give effect to harmonious constructions
The variety of articles and commodities now being transported in commerce is greatly increased since 1880 Commodities absolutely unknown and methods of packing undreamed of in 1880 move freely today Many articles moving in 1880 are no longer known to trade or transportation
Our classification must be revised as a whole and while the task is heavy it has been rendered somewhat less burdensome by the assistance received from both carriers and shippers in the general rate revision petitions just heard
In this connection the Commission most earnestly invites your special attention to those provisions in Section 6 of the Act of 1879 creating the Commission now embodied in Section 2632 of the Civil Code of 1910 which require the publication in nine newspapers in nine different cities in the State of every amendment to or change in the freight classification or freight tariff or any revision or reissue of them prior to their becoming effective or operative The expense of such publication of the revision the Commission is undertaking or even of any considerable amendment of our classification and tariffs is absolutely prohibitory and wholly unnecessary as serving no useful purpose The publication in nine newspapers in the nine principal cities of Georgia of a modern freight classification
10
and tariff table such as the Commission expects to promulgate at the publication rates prescribed in Code Section 2632 would cost the State approximately twentyfive thousand dollars Some of the large dailies of the State in the citiesnamed have refused to carry our tariff circulars at the rates named in the Code We therefore earnestly recommend the repeal of the provisions of Code Section 2632 requiring newspaper publication of classification and tariff circulars issued by the Commission and in lieu the substitution of a provision that prior to the effective date of any classification tariff or schedule of rates or of any revision or amendment thereof publication shall be made in such manner and form as the Commission may deem reasonable and proper and copy of the same served by mail on each carrier or public utility affected thereby
Unless and until the General Assembly provides some such legislation as is now urged it will be absolutely impossible to make effective legally any general revision of our existing obsolete and imperfect freight classification
COMPETING LOCAL PUBLIC UTILITIES
In its FortyFirst Report the Commission took occasion to comment upon the evil as it saw it arising out of unrestrained and unreasoning competition between local public utilities occupying the same field and to the burdens almost invariably placed upon the public by reason of unnecessary and unwise investments and expenditures of capital resulting from conditions which generally follow a contest for business The attention of the Commission has been again attracted to the subject by a case now under consideration by it and the practical difficulties facing it in finding a remedy within its power for the manifest and unfortunate evil results flowing from these conditions
As we have heretofore stated our public policy has been to encourage competition as a regulator of prices and a provider of good service Our observation and experience in dealing with competitive situations arising in local utility fields has convinced us that unrestrained competition between the local utilities in certain lines at least accomplishes neither of the above ends effectually and without great economic waste
We do not believe competition in local utility fields is either a consistent regulator of rates or an economical provider of permanent good service It means a duplication of investments organization and operating expenses unnecessary in the public service rarely permanently maintained and in the end burdensome upon the public In our opinion a well regulated monopoly in the local public utility field with its service under governmental supervision its practices regulated by a governmental agency and its rates prescribed by governmental authority will render better service upon more reasonable rates with less discrimination in rates and practices and larger and more lasting benefit to the public in the end than are ever secured under unrestrained competition
The Commission therefore repeats a former recommendation as to legislation prohibiting the grant of franchises by municipal authorities to local public utilities where there is a going established local public utility rendering safe adequate and efficient service at reasonable rates already occupying the field except after
11
application to and issuance by the Railroad Commission of a certificate of public convenience and necessity
In our opinion the government which wisely and properly assumes to prescribe reasonable rates and to compel adequate public service by local public utilities should also protect such utilities and the public from unwise unreasoning and useless competition and consequent economic waste
PUBLIC ROAD GRADE CROSSINGS
The Commission has several times directed attention to the accidents frequently occurring at grade crossings of public highways by steam and electric railways
There are hundreds of dangerous highway grade crossings in this State constituting daily menaces to life limb and property As highway and railroad construction increase as the number of railway trains operated multiply yearly as population and the consequent use of the public roads increases and since the autopasseiiger cr and freight truck with ever increasing speed and power are rapidly supplanting horse and mule drawn vehicles the risks and dangers at highway grade crossings are rapidly multiplying There are over 50000 automobiles in use in Georgia at this time They have great speed and power They are driven by men and women by skilled and unskilled by children and octogenarians
The frequency of collisions at grade crossings and their sad results is not surprising The lessening of such accidents is a present problem and of increasing urgency It can be solved with less expense now than in the future It is no small problem from an economic standpoint nor is it one to be worked out in a month or year
The Commission recommends that the entire subject of the elimination improvement and safeguarding of grade crossings of public highways outside the limits of municipalities be placed under its jurisdiction and that it be empowered to order their elimination by under or over passage or their improvement or safeguarding as in its discretion and after investigation appears reasonable practicable and proper with power to apportion the cost in each instance as it deems equitable
The Commission further recommends that no new grade crossings of first class established public roads outside the limits of municipalities by railroads hereafter constructed or of constructed railroads by new highways be allowed except after application to and approval by the Railroad Commission

L
One who pursues the business constantly or continuously for any period of time or any distance of transportation is a common carrier and as such is bound to use extraordinary diligence In cases of loss the presumption of law is against him and no excuse avails him unless it was occasioned by the act of God or the public enemies of the State Code Section 2261

DIRECTIONS FOR COMPUTING RATES
Eor 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 162 where the distance from Savannah to Tennille is shown to be 135 miles Turning to page 102 a classified list of railroads in Georgia is found the Central being in Class C and on the opposite page 103 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 107 arranged in alphabetical order and under the head of D it will be seen that Dry Goods are in hrstclass Turn to the Standard Tariff page 104 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 2y 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 of Joint Rates
Freight 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 local rate allowed to be charged by each road handling the freight
To illustrate on a shipment of freight taking firstclass the rate from Fairburn on the A W P R R to Covington on the Georgia R R will be arrived at as follows viz Take the A W P rate for irstclass Fairburn to Atlanta which is 20 cents from this deduct 10 per cent or 2 cents leaving 18 cents as proportion of A W P for transporting joint shipment Fairburn to Covington to this add the Georgia R R rate from Atlanta to Covington 41 miles 27 cents less 10 pfer cent account joint shipment or 24 cents which represents Georgia R R proportion for hauling joint through shipment from Fairburn to Covington making total through joint rate 42 cents
Each railroad companys proportion in handling joint through shipments must be determined before adding together to arrive at the through joint rate and unless otherwise provided by proper division basis among the carriers which do not affect the total through joint rate paid by shipper or consignee the through joint rate will divide between the carriers as made
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 102 and on page 103 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

RULE NO 4
Each express company shall keep conspicuously posted at all of its stations offices and agencies in Georgia a copy of all publications showing the classification rates and rules fixed for express companies with such explanations as are necessary for a full understanding of the same When any change is made in such publication of rates rules or clarifications either by such company voluntarily or pursuant to an order of the Commission such company shall immediately furnish a copy of the change to the office of the Commission and shall also post copies thereof in the same manner as above specified as notice to the public that said change has been made

GEORGIA EXPRESS RATES
The Railroad Commission of Georgia has within the past three years revised or remodeled its entire structure of express rates rules regulations and classification applicable to Georgia intrastate traffic and as information to the shipping public as to the changes proposed which are now effective below is quoted in chronological order the various calls for conferences hearings and orders issued respecting the changes made in Georgia express rates rules regulations and classification

Georgia Express Rates
To Express Companies and the Shipping Public in Georgia
By direction of the Railroad Commission 1 am sending you herewith copy of a proposed revision of Express Classification Rates Rules etc applicable to Georgia intrastate express traffic
The Commission has felt for some time that its present classification rates rules etc were in many respects obsolete incomplete discriminatory and inadequate in their application to express traffic conditions of today
For the past two years it has been engaged in an extensive investigation and study of the entire subject and the proposed revision embodies the results and tentative conclusions following this investigation
The proposed revision contemplates harmonization and adoption of our classification and rates to traffic conditions as they exist today and the simplification and making more intelligible to carriers and shippers the rules under which they are applicable
In the practical working out of this plan there have been necessary rate increases and decreases which taken altogether fairly compensate each other
The commission has designated Tuesday April 14th 1914 at its office in the State Capitol at Atlanta Ga at 10 oclock a m as the time and place when it invites all carriers and parties interested in the matter to submit their views upon the proposed revision verbally or in writing Criticisms and suggestions are desired and urged
The rate compilations in the attached proposed tariff are selfexplanatory
Under the present plan of constructing express rates in Georgia the railroad company is the transportation unit and provision is made that where express shipments handled by one express company are transported over more than one
186
railroad additional charges shall be allowed Under the proposed method the express company is the transportation unit and rates are fixed for each express company regardless of the number of roads necessary for shipments to be transported over in order to reach destination
It is to be noted that onlj three tariffs are provided Tariff A Tariff B and Tariff D Tariff A represents merchandise shipments Tariff B represents food drink etc Tariff D the per ounce rate fixed for small packages Tariff B rates are seventyfive per cent of Tariff A rates and bears the same fixed relationship to Tariff A rates as prescribed by the Interstate Commerce Commission in its recent general express order Tariff E carried in our present schedules has been eliminated from the revised Tariff for the reason that it applies only on dressed poultry fresh fish butter and sausage these commodities are properly ratable as food and as will be noted from the attached are to be transported under Tariff B rates the same as prescribed for all other food articles Sectional rates established for the benefit of manufacturers and large dealers are discontinued such tariff regulation and rules are apparently discriminatory and there does not appear to exist any good reason for their continuance
The rates proposed represent on Tariffs A and B under the graduate table 1162 advances averaging 48 cents per package while the reductions number 3330 average 119 cents per package
The Commission trusts that you will give earnest consideration to the proposed tariffs and advise it either in writing or by appearance on the date mentioned of such suggestions and criticisms as you might have to make with reference to the same Yours very truly

PLATFORM DELIVERIES OF L C L FREIGHT DUTY OF CARRIER TO MAKE TAIL BOARD DELIVERIES FROM PLATFORM OF DEPOT
Supplementary Opinion
April 17 1916 File 9697
Railroad Commission of Georgia
Atlanta Ga
Gentlemen I have your letter of the 10th instant enclosing the correspondence in the above file and you wish my opinion on the question therein raised
Question Is the Southern Railway Company under legal obligation to deliver to consignees freight in less than carload lots on its depot platform at Flovilla Ga
Opinion Custom and contract play an important part in this matter and control
Delivery must be at the specific place named in the contract of shipment if the bill of lading designates the place of delivery
1 Michies Carriers Sec 850
In the absence of contract goods must be delivered by the carriers at the usual place of delivery at the point of destination

Carriers by rail usually deliver at their warehouses

In the absence of contract or usage to the contrary the carrier must deliver goods at a safe place accessible to the consignee

203
There need not be an actual or manual tradition of the goods into the possession of the consignee
Richardson vs Goddard 464 TJ S 2845 16 Led 412
Owing to the usual amenities existing between carriers and consignees the exact point in this controversy has not been passed upon by the courts so far as I have been able to discover The nearest approach to it is a case in which it is held that the carrier may require the consignee to receive freight on the platform of its depot
Donovan vs Texas etc R Co 64 Tex 519
Vice versa on the principle that what is sauce for the goose ought to be sauce for the gander it might be said that the consignee can require the carrier to deliver package freight on the platform of its depot but I am not prepared to go so far
In the absence of contract or clear custom to the contrary when the carriey deposits its freight in its warehouse in a place accessible to the consignee the delivery is sufficient
I return herein the papers in this file Yours truly

CLAIMS LIABILITY OF EXPRESS COMPANY FOR DEATH OF LIVE
STOCK IN TRANSIT
June 27 1916
File 12805
Hon C M Candler Chairman
Atlanta Ga
My Dear Sir Your letter of the 24th inst enclosing copy of letter of Mr Milton P Jarnigan Animal Husbandman of the State College of Agriculture is just at hand
It appears that Jarnigan sold two Tamworth pigs to Mr E E Ritter of Cope S C and shipped them by express They were examined by a Veterinarian immediately before shipment and were found in good health When these pigs arrived at destination one of them was dead
There was no special contract limiting th liability of the express company
Question Is the Express Company liable for the death of this Tamworth pig
Ordinarily no excuse will avail the carrier for the loss of goods or its failure to deliver the same in good condition but the act of God or the public enemies of the State
Civil Code Sec 2712
But in the favor of the carrier of live stock certain exceptions have grown up in his favor exempting him from liability for loss or injury caused by the nature and propensity of these animals Among these exceptions are the natural death of animals injuries from the vicious and uncontrollable nature of live stock and similar instances
These stand upon the same footing as the act of God or the act of the public enemies of the State and excuse the carrier
