Expert 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 3 GENERAL LIBRARY U N IVE RS I T Y OP G EO BG I A 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 Respectfully submitted C M CANDLER Chairman P B TRAMMELL J A PERRY JOHN T BOIFEUILLET J D PRICE Commissioners 33007 INFORMATION As to Constitutional and Statutory Laws

specific provision is made for a certain percentage above the Standard Tariff that percentage alone shall be applied to the Standard Tariff in computing rates regardless of any percentage allowed on individual railroad above the Standard Tariff in the general classification of railroads to the end that no railroad company may apply more than one percentage of increase to the Standard Tariff rates in any instance But on the contrary where the freight classification in classifying any given article or class of freight specifies a percentage of decrease below the Standard Tariff that decreased percentage alone shall be applied to the Standard Tariff and freight charges assessed on basis of the rate so reduced without regard to any percentage of increase that may be allowed an individual railroad on other articles in the same class as shown in the general classification of railroads No railroad may charge more than the Standard Tariff rate on any article that in the freight clasification is assigned to a certain class without percentage regardless of any percentage of increase that may be allowed upon other articles in said class RULE 10 Rates for the transportation of

ATTORNEY l JAMES K HINES Special Attorney IN RE INSTALLATION OF INDEPENDENT METERS BY CUSTOMERS OF GAS COMPANIES Atlanta May 24th 1919 Railroad Commission of Georgia Atlanta Georgia Gentlemen I have the letter of Mr W M Farr of Savannah Ga fto the Commission in which he wishes you to state whether or not ihe may be allowed to install an independent meter upon his gas pipes within his own premises which connects with the main of the gas company at the property line at the street and for which he paid The purpose is to install his own meter on the same pipe line with that of the company so he will be able to check the reading of the gas company of is own meter I am of the opinion that Mr Farr has the right under the law to install such meter I donot see any valid objection to his so doing It is true that such a course may bring about disputes between the gas company and its customers but it will probably bring about no more complaints than arise without such procedure If he has this right as a matter of law I see no reasonable Objection to the promulgation of a rule by the Commission on this subject Whatever tends to prevent injustice on the part of public utilities whether arising from dishonesty or carelessness should be encouraged The installation of private meters by customers of gas companies would naturally induce the employees of such companies to be more careful in their reading and it will have the effect of preventing dishonesty and carelessness and at the same time it cannot harm the gas companies themselves It would be better of course if the Commission had the funds tQ employ its own meter readers not making monthly readings of meters but to occasionally do so in order to see that the public are not imposed upon by dishonest or careless employees of such companies However in the absence of such regulation by the Commission due to its lack of funds I do not think it would be illegal or improper for customers to install their own private meters at their own expense for the purpose of checking the readings of the meters of the company by its employees Yours very truly James K Hines Special Attorney 204 INj BE APPLICATION OF THE GEORGIA RAILWAY POWER COMPANY FOR PERMISSION TO DISCONTINUE THE GIVING OF TRANSFERS TO PASSENGERS ON ITS LINE FROM COLLEGE PARK INTO ATLANTA Atlanta May 26th 1919 Railroad Commission of Georgia Atlanta Georgia Gentlemen Has the Railroad Commission jurisdiction over this matter The supreme Court held that you were without authority and power to determine or fix fares upon lines of street railways within the limits of any town or eity between which and the street railway company operating such lines there was a valid subsisting contract at the time of the passage of the Act of August 23ird 1907 An the Court further held that there was such a contract between the city of College Park and the Georgia Railway Power Company Georgia Railway Power Co vs Railroad Commission of Georgia et al 98 SE Reporter 696 For this reason the Supreme Court held that ithe Commission did not have power and authority to fix the rates and fares as between the town of College Park and the city of Atlanta Under the contract between College Park and the Street Railway Company the latter was to carry passengers from the southern corporate limits of College Park to some central point in the city of Atlanta for a fare of five cents This contract does not deal vith transfers Under the decision of the Supreme Court the Commission is without jurisdiction to fix rates and fares between College Park and some central point in the City of Atlanta There being no contract between College Park and the Street Railway Company as to transfers I am of the opinion that the Commission has jurisdiction to deal with this matter In other words the Commission can require the Street Railway Company to give transfers to passengers from College Park to some ciemtral point in the City of Atlanta and can fix the price to be paid for such transfers provided the charge therefor so fixed is reasonable and just The Commission likewise has jurisdiction to require the Street Railway Company to issue transfers to passengers going from points on its lines to College Park and can fix the primary fares for which such transfers are issued The Commission can likewise require the Street Railway Company to issue transfers to passengers going from College Park to points on other lines of this company after they reach Atlanta and can fix the fares for such transportation and transfers I confine this to points on its lines other than those on its present College Park line Has the Commission authority to grant permission to the Street Railway Company to discontinue giving of transfers to passengers from College Park for points on its other lines Ordinarily the Commission could grant such permissiion if it did not bring 205 jBjbout unjust discrimination It is as much the duty of the Commission to prevent unjust discriminations in rates as it is to fix reasonable and just rates Under the circumstances in this ease would such permission create an unjust discrimination against passengers from and to College Park Under the contract between College Park and the Street Railway Company there is a discrimination between travelers from and to College Park and travelers on other lines of this company This discrimination however is the result of legislative action If the Legislature sees fit it can become the parent of unjust discrimination The Commission is impotent in this respect Because the Legislature has created a discrimination in favor of passengers to and from College Park does not justify the Commission in making an unjust discrimination in respect to transfers In my opinion the granting of this permission to the Street Railway Company would create an unjust discrimination against passengers to and from College Park in respect to transfers You are without jurisdiction and authority to create any such discrimination For this reason I am of the opinion that the Commission should refuse this request of the Street Railway Company Yours very truly Signed James K Hines

I not that you wish my opinion upon this question You have jurisdiction over gas and electric light and power companies corporations or persons owning leasing or operating public gas plants or electric light and power plants furnishing service to the public Civil Code Sec 2662 Does the Mandeville Mills by generating and selling power and light to the 206 town of Bremen for distribution and sale by tbe latter to its inhabitants become a public utility While the distinction between a private and public utility is sometimes shadowy the general rule is to ascertain whether a corporation or person devotes its property to public use or not If a corporation or person devotes its property to public use it becomes subject to public regulation When one uses his property in suplying a large community with water he thereby clothes such property with a public interest and subjects the same to public regulation Van Dyke vs Geary 244 U S 39 In this case the Mandeville Mills undertakes to furnish power and light to the town of Bremen Is this furnishing service to the public It seems to me that this is cletarly rendering a public service Furnishing light and power to the municipality for sale and distribution to its inhabitants is rendering a service to the agent of the public and is in effect serving the public For this reason I am of the opinion that this company will come under your jurisdiction when it begins this business Public Service Comn vs Rogers 170 NY Sup 964 PUR 191SF p 332 Yours very truly Signed James K Hines Special Attorney IN RE QUESTION OF PRIVATE PARTY INSTALLING PRIVATE TELEPHONE EXCHANGE IN BUILDING AND REQUIRING SOUTHERN BELL TELE TEL CO TO CONNECT WITH SAME Atlanta October 13th 1919 File GF43 Hon C M Candler Chairman Atlanta Georgia Dear Sir I have your letter of the 10th instant in which you wish to know if an individual can install a private telephone exchange in his building or office which he operates with his own employees and require the Southern Bell Tel Tel Co to connect its exchange therewith by trunk lines and transmit messages to the point of connection with this private exchange The Commission has general supervision of telephone corporations or companies within this State and can require them to establish and maintain such public service and facilities as may be reasonable and just Civil Code Sec 2663 In each case the test is is any given service or facility a public service or facility and if a public service or facility is it responsible and just If the 207 service or facility is public and if its enforcement and establishment is reasonable and just you can compel such service or facility If a privately owned exchange does notvserve the public you cannot compel a physical connection between it and the Southern Bell Tel Tel Co If it serves its owner and not the public you are without jurisdiction to require such connection The Indiana Commission held that a hotel company owning a house exchange operated for the benefit of its guests was entitled to a physical connection with the lines of a telephone company where a great many guests were served during the run of a year Indiana Hotel Company vs Forgon et al P U It 1918F671 On September 16 1914 in the matter of the application of the State Agricultural Industrial School the New York Commission denied application for an order compelling the New York Telephone Company to make a connection with the telephone system of this school The decision in this case is based upon seven objections which taken together in the opinion of the N Y Commission were such as to forbild the connection These objections seem to me to forbid all physical connections between telephone systems if they are respected In no case could such connection be enforced Physical connections between railways have been upheld where the public service requires them and they are reasonable and just W M k P R Co vs Jacobson 179 U 8 287 Grand T R Co vs Michigan

DISCONTINUE AND ABANDON PORTION OF ITS LINE Railroad Commission of Georgia Atlanta Georgia Gentlemen Atlanta Jan 21st 1920 You wish my opinion upon the question whether you have jurisdiction to authorize this company to abandon and discontinue its Rivoli extension I have given this subject exhaustive study and I adhere to my previous opinion that you have no authority to permit this company to abandon its Rivoli extension The powers of the Commission are fixed and defined by our statutes and it does not possess and cannot exercise any powers which are not expressly conferred upon it by our statutes or which are reasonably necessary to execute the express powers conferred upon it It cannot exercise any implied powers except such as are necessary to enable it to exercise the powers expressly granted They can exercise only such powers as they are authorized by the statutes creating them 33Cyc 48 Nashville etc R Co vs State 137 Ala 439 State vs Yazoo etc R Co 87 Miss 679 State vs Fremont etc R Co 23 Nebr 117 The Commission is not given express power to authorize this company to abandon this extension In none of our statutes is this jurisdiction in so many words conferred upon the Commission But it is insisted with great plausibility that this authority is necessarily implied from the grant of the power of general supervision and the power to require public service companies under the supervision of the Commission to establish and maintain such public service and facilities as may be reasonable and just Code Sec 2663 The power of general supervision given in this section confers power other than those expressly enumerated in the statutes creating the Commission and enlarging its jurisdiction By this grant of power the State the principal gives to th Commission its Agent the right to supervise the various utility companies put under its supervision Now does the right given to thie Agent ito supervise include the authority to permit the creatures of the principal to abandon the duties which they owe to the public Can the overseer permit the abandonment of the business which he is to supervise It seems to me that the power to supervise cannot embrace the authority to permit partial or total abandonment of the duties which a utility 209 company owes to the public Clearly no such authority is implied from the grant of the power of supervision Does the power to require public service companies to establish and maintain such public service and facilities as may be reasonable and just include or imply the authority to permit such a company to abandon its duty to serve the public It is contended that the power to require reasonable and just service gives the power to permit the abandonment of all service whenever the rendition of service becomes unreasonable and unjust to the utility From this it must folio tv if the Commission has power to permit this company to abandon this extension it has the power to authorize this company to abandon all service and the discharge of all its duties to the public if the rendition of service becomes u reasonable and unjust It is true that some courts and some commissions have held thepower to regulate service necessarily includes the authority to permit public utilities to abandon service and dismantle their properties Railroad Commission vs Kansas City So R Co Ill La 123 139

will thus be seen that a great majority of the Commissions hold that they have this jurisdiction To some there is an express grant of this power Others derive it from the power Jo supervise and regulate public utilities Some imply this jurisdiction from the broad and comprehensive powers granted them by their statutes over the rate sand services of utilities The power to require public service companies under the supervision of the commission to establish and maintain such public service and facilities as may be reasonable and just does not confer jurisdiction upon the Commission to authorize them to abandon all public service for the reasons which I will now state First this power is so unusual and extraordinary that the legislature would have expressly enumerated it in its grant of powers to the Commission if it had intended to confer it In the second place in accepting a charter from the State containing a 212 grant of rights and privileges the railroad impliedly assumes the duties of a public carrier and cannot divest itself of its duties without express legislative authority Ga Ry Co vs Haas 127 Ga 193 Gregory vs Ga Granite Ry Co 132 Ga 587 We do not find any express legislative grant of authority to the Commission ho permit street railway companies to abandon these duties In the third place the Act of 1907 expressly confers upon the Commission power and authority to see that the railway companies comply with all provisions of law and charter requirements It cannot be questioned that the law of the State and its charter require this company to render some service on this Rivoli extension Failure to render any service on this extension is failure to comply with its charter In the fourth place the Legislature of this State in 1918 dealt with this subject and passed the act of August 19 1918 to provide how certain railroad corporations may surrender their franchises in the State and cease temporarily or permanently to exercise their franchises and to perform their duties as common carriers Ga Laws 1918 p 21 This act expressly exempts street railways and thus shows that the Legislature refused to give to the Commission authority to permit street railways to even temporarily cease to discharge their duties as common carriers But the reply to this position is that act provides for the death of the coiporation It provides for spch dissolution but also provides for a temporary suspension of functions What the Commission is asked to do in this case is to exercise a power which includes practically the power of granting the dissolution of this company If it can permit this company to quit discharging its public duties on the Rivoli extension it can do so on all the lines of this company State ex rel Caster vs Kansas PostalTelegraphCable Co P U R 1915 E 222 I do not mean to say that the Commission cannot reduce facilities and service It is much the duty of the Commission to allow a reasonable reduction in
