ANNUAL REPORT
LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL
Atlanta April 1st 1920
To His Excellency Hugh M Dorsey Governor
Sir The Railroad Commission as required by law herewith submits its FortyiSeyenth Report the same being for the year ended December 31st 1919
Its preparation has been delayed by the illness of the Secretary of the Commission and by difficulties in securing annual corporate reports Many of these have not yet been received but rather than longer delay the completion and publication of the Report it has been decided to omit certain statistical matter heretofore carried
Govenment operation of Railroads only terminated on March 1st for some time prior thereto preparations for such termination were under way and hence the added burden upon rail officials in preparing reports to the Commission
The corporateowners of the railroads taken over by the Government resumed possession and operation of their properties at 1201 A M March 1st
FEDERAL RAILROAD LEGISLATION
Prior to March 1st Congress had enacted and the President had approved new Federal legislation for the supervision and regulation of the services practices and rates of all carriers engaged in interstate commerce This Act is known as the Transportation Act of 1920
Under the provisions of Section 208 of this Act all rates fares charges and all classificationsregulations and practices in any wise changing affecting or determining any part or the aggregate of rates fares or charges or the value of the service rendered which on February 29th 1920 were in effect on the lines of carriers subject to the Interstate Commerce Act are to continue in force and effect until thereafter changed by State or Federal authority respectively or pursuant to authority of law but prior to September 1st 1920 no such rate fare or charge can be reduced and no such classification regulation or practice can be changed in such manner as to reduce any such rate fare or charge unless such reduction or change is approved by the Interstate Commerce Commission
As to future rates Section 416 of the Act provides that interstate carriers may by petition to the Interstate Commerce Commission question any rate fare charge classification regulation or practice jnade or imposed bjX authority of any state After full hearing in which the state authorities shall participate if the Commission Interstate finds that any such rate fare charge classification regulation or practice causes any undue or unreasonable advantage preference or prejudice as between persons or localities in intra state commerce on the one hand and inter state commerce on the other or any undue unreasonable or unjust discrimination against interstate or foreign commerce it shall pre

scribe the rate fare or charge thereafter to be charged and the classifications regulations and practices so prescribed shall fee observed the law of any State or the decision or order of any State authority to the contrary
Under the provisions of Section 422 of the Act in prescribing just and reasonable rates for interstate carriers for a period of two years beginning March 1st 1920 the Commission must provide for a minimum return on the aggregate values of the properties of the carriers of five and onehalf per cent and may in its discretion provide for a six percentum return The Interstate Commerce Commission alone has the power to determine these values
Section 439 of the Act provides that after one hundred and twenty days from its taking effect it shall be unlawful for any carrier subject to the Act to issue any stock bonds or other evidences of debt maturing more than two years from date except upon approval of and with the consent of the Interstate Commerce Commission and when so authorized can do so without the approval of any other authority It is made the duty of the Commission upon receipt of applications for approval of such issues to notify the Governor of each State in which the carrier operates and the State Commissions are given the right of making representations and objections as to the grant of authority prayed
Section 402 of the Act provides that after ninety days from its effective date no railroad carrier subject to the Act shall undertake any extension of its lines or the construction of a new railroad or the acquisition of any line of road or extension without first securing from the Interstate Commerce Commission a certificate of public convenience and necessity
Notice of any application in this respect is required to be given the Governor of each State in which such extension or new line is proposed to be constructed Similar proceedings must be instituted and like authority secured for the abandonment and discontinuance of operations of a railroad already built and in operation
There are many innovations in the Act the practical effects of which can be seen only after it is in full operation
As this report goes to press we have received notice and copies of the applications of the Railroads of the entire country subject to the jurisdiction of the Interstate Commerce Commission for increases in freight rates hearings on which are to begin in Washington on May 24th
The State Commission have been invited to cooperate with the Interstate Commission The roads in the Southeast are asking increases averaging about 31 per cent over existing rates
EXPRESS MATTERS
It will be remembered that during the period of Federal control of carriers on July 1st 1918 the principal Express Companies of the country were consolidated into one company known as the American Railway Express Company
This Company is now asking the Interstate Commerce Commission under the provisions of the Transportation Act of 1920 for its approval of the consolidation permanently and also for material increases in existing rates
LOCAL UTILITIES
Notwithstanding increases in local utility rvates authorized by the Commis
4
sion In 1918 as mentioned in its last report applications for further increases are numerous and urgent
These are based upon increased labor and materials cost and the Commission has been compelled to recognize the proven necessity of further relief Each application is carefully investigated and only such increases as seem imperative and necessary to proper service to the public have been authorized
It is impossible for public utilities to render efficient service unless they are allowed reasonable and compensatory rates To starve them with non compensatory rates is to eventually cripple their service of to force them into bankruptcy to the substantial injury of the public by depriving it of any service at all Just and reasonable rates are therefore as much in the interest of the public as of the utility a fact however not always recognized by the public
Inasmuch as rates under established principles of law are so largely regulated by property values it is always desirable that fair valuation appraisals be had of properties devoted to the public use and it continues a matter of regret with the Commission that the General Assembly has never seen proper to provide funds for the regular employment and use of engineers and accountants
The Commission desires to express its appreciation of the action of the General Assembly at its 1919 session in increasing the salaries of its members and Secretary
The work of the Commission really demands the time and services of a second stenographer and it is earnestly urged that provision therefor at a salary of 150000 per annum be made It is difficult to secure a competent me for less
