ANNUAL REPORT
LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL
Atlanta Ga April 1st 1921
To His Excellency Hugh M Dorsey Governor
Sir In compliance with law the Railroad Commission of Georgia submits herewith its FortyEighth Report the same being for the year ended December 31st 1920
In its FortySeventh Report the Commission referred to the passage by the Federal Congress of the Transportation Actof 1920 providing legislation under which the Railroads of the County were to be released from Federal control and operation and returned to their owners on March 1st T920
ing regulatory powers of the States over carriers ngaged in interstate commerce Mention was further made of the fact that as that report was going to press notice had been received that applications for material increases in rates had been filed with the Interstate Commerce Commission by all of the Railroads of the country
This application became known as Ex parte 74 After an extended heaping thereon the Interstate Commission authorized increases in the Southern group including Georgia roads in charges for freight services including switching and special services over the rates in effect on February 29th 1920 of twentyfive 25 per cent There were some exceptions to this general percentage increase
All passenger fares and charges and excess baggage rates were increased twenty 20 per cent over the fares in effect February 29th 1920 A surcharge upon passengers in sleeping and parlor cars amounting to fifty 50 per cent of the charge for space in such cars in effect February 29th 1920 was authorized to accrue to the rail carriers Milk and cream rates carried generally in passenger trains were increased twenty 20 per cent
It will be recalled that during the period of Federal operation the Director General of Railroads in his General Order No 28 effective June 25th 1918 and supplement thereto had increased all freight rates approximately30 to 35 per cent and all passenger fares to three 3 cents per mile These increased rates with such changes as had been made from time to time prior to and on February 29th 1920 were the freight and passenger rates in effect with the termination of Fdral operation midnight of February 29th 1920 increased twentyfive and twenty per cent in Ex parte 74 effective September 1st 1920
Shortly after the promulgation of these increased rates in Ex parte 74 all

of the rail carriers in Georgia applied to this Commission for identical increases in intrastate freight and passenger charges
In the Director Generals Order No 28 effective June 25th 1918 there were exceptions to the 25 per cent increase as to certain commodities among these brick cotton and cotton linters
Instead of an increase of 25 per cent in the existing brick rates there was authorized a specific increase of 2 cents per 100 pounds for all distances in cotton rates an increase of 15 cents per 100 pounds for all distances and cotton linters were made to take the new cotton rates This Commission thought at the time of their promulgation that these specific increases were unjustly discriminatory and particularly that the application of the new cotton rates to cotton linters was unjust and unreasonable and produced excessive charges on this commodity
When therefore the application of carriers for the increases in Ex parte 74 to be made effective as to intrastate traffic was passed upon by this Commission it declined for the reasons mentioned to approve the same as to brick cotton and cotton linters but granted the application under force of circumstances as to all other increases The Railroads promptly complained under the provisions of the Transportation Act of 1920 to the Interstate Commerce Commission alleging unjust discrimination and prejudice against interstate traffic and undue advantage and preference in favor of interstate traffic
This Commission resisted the proceeding before the Interstate Commerce Commission but to no purpose the latter holding under date of March 8th 1921 that the rates and charges on cotton cotton linters and brick applied intrastate in Georgia by requirement of the Georgia State authorities were found to result in undue prejudice to shippers of interstate traffic in undue preference of shippers of intrastate traffic and in unjust discrimination against interstate commerce
The railroads were authorized to make effective in Georgia on or before April 23rd 1921 the same increases as to these commodities authorized in Exparte 74 on interstate traffic
The real issue in this matter as this Commission views it is whether the States under the Transportation Act of 1920 really have the power to make intrastate rates at all Any intrastate rates which differ from interstate rates prescribed by the Interstate Commerce Commission are bound to bring about discrimination It matters not how small the difference is such difference will bring about discrimination in the present state of sharp competition between shippers In this case the Interstate Commerce Commission itself brought about the alleged discrimination by increases deemed by it reasonable and just thus disturbing a relation not discriminatory prior to its action
This Commission under Georgia law is the exclusive judge as to what are just and reasonable intrastate rates
If it exercises its own judgment as it did in this case and in so doing finds itself differing from the Interstate Commerce Commission its law is nullified and its power to make rates applicable to intrastate traffic is destroyed Similar
4
issues in other states have been raised and have been carried to the Supreme Court of the United States for final adjudication
This Commission with the Commissions of other States was allowed by the Supreme Court to file briefs in the Wisconsin appeal now pending in this Court This case having been argued and submitted an early decision is hoped for In the opinion of this Commission the freight and passenger rates now in effect both as to intra and interstate traffic are excessive
EXPRESS RATE INCREASES
In its 47th Report the Commission noted the fact that the American Railway Express Co organized during the period of Federal operation of railroads and other common carriers by the purchase of the properties of the principal express companies and their consolidation during the period of the war as one Company was applying to the Interstate Commerce Commission under the provisions of the Transportation Act of 1920 for approval of a permanent consolidation and for increases in rates
One of the constituent companies of this consolidation was the Southern Express Company which had prior to the war practically done all of the Express business in Georgia At the time of its sale of properties and franchises to the Consolidated Company it had outstanding in Georgia many unsettled claims of shippers for loss and damage to goods
After the sale and consolidation it handled these claims in the most arbitrary unjust and unsatisfactory manner
This Commission had knowledge of a large number of such instances Many just claims never have been settled
The Commission therefore joined with other State Commissions in protesting to the Interstate Commerce Commission against its approval of the Consolidation unless and until this constituent company the Southern Express Company had the provision for settlement of all just claims against it
The Consolidation was approved by the Interstate Commerce Commission It also granted an increase in rates of twelve and onehalf 12 per cent After hearing with no protest from shippers this Commission felt constrained to grant a similar increase in rates on intrastate traffic thus keeping interstate and intrastate rates substantially on a parity Subsequently because of increased operating expenses arising largely out of increased wage scales approved by the U S Labor Board the Express Company applied to the Interstate Commerce Commission for a second increase in rates After hearing an increase of thirteen and onehalf 13 per cent over existing tariffs was authorized
The Express Company immediately applied to this Commission for the same percentage of increase in rates to apply on intrastate traffic
This petition was denied
Thereupon the Express Company complained to the Interstate Commerce Commission This complaint has been heard by an Interstate Commerce Commission Examiner and isnow pending before the Commission
SOUTHEASTERN EXPRES SCOMPANY
The Southern Railway System and its allied arid subsidiary lines have

lit
organized new Express Company known as the Southeastern Express Company for the purpose of conducting the express business oyer the lines of this system and its allies principally in the Southeastern States It is planning to commence business on May 1st and has applied to this Commission for schedules of rates on intrastate traffic identical with those of the American Railway Express Company
LOCAL UTILITY PROBLEMS AND RATES
In its last two annual reports the Commission called special attention to the increasing difficulties arising out of war and resultant conditions confronting local utilities in this State as also throughout the entire country
From early in 1915 until late in 1920 operating expenses steadily increased without at any time corresponding increases in revenues The peak of high labor and material costs with few exceptions was only reached in October 1920
Since 1917 nearly every local utility in the State has made one or more applications for increased rates With the first of these applications the Commission adopted the policy possibly a mistaken one in view of subsequent events of holding any increase granted down to the most meagre return which it believed could be sustained in the Courts should any such be carried there by the utilities This policy was based upon the thought that conditions were abnormal of uncertain duration and liable to change at any time and quickly
The Commission was of the opinion that from the publics standpoint the rate situation should remain in the Commissions control and this control such that if costs of service were merely transitory and should be for any reason suddenly lowered the public would not bear an excessive burden during the period of inquiry alwas requiring some time
The applicants therefore were in effect told to go ahead with the minimum increases granted try out the prescribed rates and report results to the Commission monthly when if in actual use they were found to be low the Commission would examine into the situation again
The records of this Commission will show that in only a few instances under exceptional conditions for the past three years has any utility received the increases it asked and in most cases sustained with uncontested evidence The policy adopted and consistently followed with the persistent increases in labor and material costs over which neither the utilities nor the Commission had control resulted in second and in a few instances third applications for relief
During the past six months only has there been much question by the public as to the justness and reasonableness of the increases granted by the Commission
During this period cotton our principal state product has slumped tremendously in selling price The purchasing power of by far the largest class of our population has been reduced to almost nil Our manufacturers and merchants were caught with large stocks of high priced materials and high cost merchandise in shop and store unable to sell their products and goods at cost and unable without causing distress to collect for such sales as had been made
6
in the spring and summer of 1920 Business in Georgia as elsewhere came to a halt and stagnation resulted
Business forgot the years of plenty and high tide of unrestrained profit and liberal expenditures for every gratified want and criticism of every increase in the cost of living however small naturally became rife It was a psychological resultant Patrons of the utility at once said we are making nothing many Of us are actually losing money and only carrying on our business or running our factories to keep our organizations together Why should the utilities be allowed to earn six or seven or eight per cent why should they not share losses with the general public
This Commission heard these arguments week after week some of its members at least have business interests which have been affected like these and have had a large degree of sympathy with the suggestions thus presented
The argument however could properly only be addressed to the altruistic It could properly be made to the managements of these utilities but this Commission was and is utterly without power to enforce it in practice
Private property even though devoted to public use remains private property Its owners have certain constitutional rights No court commission or Legislature can deny or abridge these rights The members of this Commission are under oath to respect them
We have in every instance held their values to the lowest possible figures consistent with well defined principles as to valuation We have held their returns on these minimum values to figures only short of a denial of what is reasonable
We have done this in spite of the certain knowledge that during the recent years of plenty even of abundance these utilities had to content themselves with increases of ten hfthen twenty twentyfive or in a few instances higher percentages when every product sold had been increased from fifty to three and four hundred per cent
The Commission was more intent on keeping these utilities gomg ahd able to adequately serve the public with rates that would meet operating expenses taxes and depreciation than it was for providing the reasonable returns which under th law they had the right to demand even in times of universal depression
Under modern conditions of social and business life their services are no longer mere conveniences they are necessities For three years or more there has been no substitute service obtainable by the public at a lower or even as low a cost as these essential services rendered by the various utilities
The suggestion that prices of labor and essential materials are now declining and that rates should be immediately reduced is now being urged
Common labor is cheaper but it does not count as much in operating costs as skilled labor nor as in construction cost Skilled labor is a very large item in utility operating costs and it has not as yet submitted to material reductions
Taxes insurance rents interest freights depreciation have not decreased The cost of raw materials has declined but is yet far above prerwar or normal
7
cost It has not yet stabilized nor can present material cost be safely used as a permanent basis of rates Monthly reports of utilities to this Commission clearly show that the increased rates granted by the Commission are not affording excessive returns even on prowar values under the price reductions in raw materials which have so far come about
The Commission is keepingin close touch with the situation and is desirous and ready the hour actual conditions justify to make reductions in rates
This Commission believes with Prof H E Riggs of the University of Michigan who says We cannot get away from the fundamental truths first that our present day civilization must have the services rendered by these utilities second that we can build them with the money of the taxpayers or as private enterprises third that if they are to render satisfactory service they must grow just as fast as the communities they serve and fourth that if private capital is to go into regulated utilities there must be the reasonable assurance of d fair return on the investment
It is unfortunately true that the overwhelming bulk of the capital now in utilities in Georgia is from outside state sources Our home capital is limited it is not sufficient for our ordinary agricultural and industrial demands Such as we have is not accumulated in such individual control or amount as that it has to accept investments affording six or seven per cent We therefore because of these conditionshave heretofore had to rely on outside capital for the development of public service undertakings There is still need of such capital It should receive fair treatment This Commission has not been willing to deny it this treatment so long as it honestly serves us
It is also true that this Commission has not desired nor does it believe it has in a single instance placed an undue rate burden on the public The principles governing rate making by a regulatory Commission are simple The public must not be overcharged The utility is entitled to such rates as with capable management will afford it a reasonable return upon the fair value of its property used in the public service It has been truly said the rate Commission in maintaining a delicate and even balance between these two poles of essential right has a great responsibility and a most difficult undertaking
Such a Commission should be furnished with every needed instrumentality in order that it may intelligently meet this responsibility and perform this undertaking fairly and for the good of the Commonwealth
It should have in its exclusive employ competent accountants engineers and inspectors as has nearly every other State Commission in the United States

NoteNet Earnings as reported above do not mean Net Income In the figures given no allowance have been made out of earnings for current depreciation or replacement Such allowances must be made from net earnings in order to show net income available for dividends or distribution to owners
The foregoing table includes operating reports from fortynine 49 railroads Four small lines have not filed reports at this date
Of jthe 49 roads reporting only 17 report net earnings aggregating 381867079 Thirtytwo 32 report deficits under operating expenses and taxes aggregating 475226673
These reports cover operations for the calendar year 1920 nine months of which have been under the operation of the owners immediately following the end of Federal Government operation
It is interesting to compare these net earnings for the first year after government control with net earnings for the last year 1917 preceding government control of 1686931819
Similar interesting comparisons may be made as to Railroad Terminal Companies and Telegraph and Express Companies which were taken over and operated by the Federal Government also
The Terminal companies in the State report deficits for 1920 aggregating 59349647 as compared with deficits of 23111483 for 1917 the year preceding government operation Telegraph and express companies report aggregate deficits of 82533443 for 1920 as compared with 5760346 in 1917
Telephone companies also taken over by the Government report net earnings in 1920 of 1642023 as compared with 1754693 in 1917
These decreased earnings have been in spite of increased rates
Had it not been for such relief as was thus afforded overwhelming disaster must have come upon nearly every public utility in the State to the incalculable harm and inconvenience of the public

Common Carrier Defined 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 case 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 Code Sec 2712 NoteAct of God means any act produced by physical causes which are inevitable such as lightnings storms perils of the sea earthquakes inundation suddeu death or illness Unavoidable accidents are the same as acts of God 2 Ga Rep 349 etc
Carriers Negligence In order for a carrier or other bailee to avail himself of the Act of God or exception under the contract as an excuse he must establish not only that the Act of God or excepted fact ultimately occasioned the loss but that his own negligence did not contribute thereto Code Sec 2713
Railroads Common Carriers Railroad companies are common carriers
and liable as such Code Sec 2751
Duty as to Reception of Goods Etc A common carrier holding himself out to the public as such is bound to receive all goods and passengers offered that he is able and accustomed to carry upon compliance with such reasonable regulations as he may adopt for his own safety and the benefit of the public Code Sec 2729
Carriers Responsibility Begins The responsibility of the carrier commences with the delivery of the goods either to himself or his agent or at the place where he is accustomed or agrees to receive them It ceases with thendelivery at destination according to the direction of the person sending or according to the custom of the trade Code Sec 2730
Responsibility for Delay The common carrier is bound not only for safe transportation but also that the same be flone without unreasonable delay Code Sec 2736
Strikes as Excuses for Delay Where a carrier receives freight for s ipmet it is bound to forward within a reasonable time although its employees strike or cease to work but if the strike is accompanied with violence and intimidation so as to render it unsafe to forward the freight the carrier is relieved as to liability for delay in delivering the freight if the violence and armed resistance is of such a character as could not be overcome by the carrier or controlled by the civil authorities when called upon by it Code Sec 2737
Damages for Delay Where a carrier fails to deliver goods in a reasonable time the measure of damages is the difference between the market value at the time and place they should have been delivered and the time of actual delivery Code Sec 2773
Receipts fob Fbeight Whenever any person shall deliver property of any description to a railroad steamboat or express company for transportation said company shall upon demand furnish the party so delivering a valid receipt which shall specify the shipping marks and numbers thereon and the weight of the property thus delivered whenever the value can be estimated by weight and in all cases where the value cannot thus be estimated the receipt shall give a general description of the property and shall also specify as near as practicable the quantity or value thereof and also the place of destination and any agent or officer of such company violating the provisions of this section shall be guilty of V misdemeanor Code Sec 633

Stopge in Tbansitu A stoppage in transitu by the vendor or consignor relieves the carrier from his obligation to deliver nor is he thenceforward responsible for more than ordinary diligence in the care of the goods Coe Sec
When Stoppage in Tbansitu Exists The right of stoppage ip transitu exists whenever the vendor in a sale on credit seeks to resume the possession of goods while they are in the hands of a carrier or middleman in their transit to the vendee or consignee on his becoming insolvent It continues until the vendee obtains actual possession of the goods Code Sec 2739
Facilities fob Weighing Fbeight Evry railroad or transportation company in this State shall provide suitable and adequate facilites for correctly weighing all freight offered for shipment in car load lots in this State at points where the volume of business offered is sufficient to warrant the expense Code Sec 2762

Provided That in no case shall the total charge for any mixed carload of freight exceed the charge that would be arrived at by applying the less carload rate for each article at the actual weight thereof
RULE 31
Upon the request of a consignee or consignees of carload shipments for reweighing a car or cars providing such request is made within the free time prescribed by the Storage Rules of this Commission it shall be the duty of the delivering line within fortyeight hours after the receipt of such request provided such line has track scales at that point to have the same reweighed in the presence of consignee or his argent if it be so desired by a sworn weigher who shall furnish to the consignee a certificate showing the gross tare and net weights thereof If the net weight thus ascertained shall differ from the billed weight by more than one per cent of the latter subject to a minimum of five hundred pounds the billing shall be corrected to the re weight

RULE 1A
Upon the arrival at destination of any and all freights the delivering line shall within twentyfour hours thereafter give to consignees thereof legal notice of such arrival and the giving of such legal notice as hereinafter defined sha LI be a condition precedent to the collection by railroad companies of any storage charges upon any shipment notive of arrival of which has not been thus served upon the consignee and no storage charges shall be assessed nor collected other than as authorized by these rules
For failure to give such legal notice of arrival the railroad company at fault shall within thirty days after demand in writing is made therefor pay to the consignee so offended the sum of one dollar per car per day on carload shipments and one cent per hundred pounds per day on less than carload shipments for each fiay during which the terms of this rule are not complied with
RULE 2

DIRECTIONS FOR COMPUTING RATES
For the benefit of those who may not be familiar with the subject the fallowing 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 we turn to the distance tables of that company page 185 where the distance from Savannah to Tennille is shown to be 135 miles Turning to page 108 a classified list of railroads in Georgia is found the Central being in Class C and on the opposite page 109 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 129 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 110 and follow down the first column which shows the miles There being no distance of 135 shown the next highest distance governs and opposite 140 miles in the next column this being the column for firstclass the rate is seen to be 57 cents per 100 pounds The road being allowed to add 25 per cent to this class and 25 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
Dibections to Agents Regabding 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 firstclass 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 per 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 108 and on page 109 will be found the percentages 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

GENERAL ORDER No 28
Whereas it has been found and is hereby certified to the Interstate Commerce Commission that in order to defray the expenses of Federal control and operation fairly chargeable to railway operating expenses and also to pay railway tax accruals other than war taxes net rents for joint facilities and equipment and compensation to the carriers operating as a unit it is necessary to increase the railway operating revenues and
Whereas the public interest requires that a general advance in all freight rates passenger fares and baggage charges on all traffic carried by all railroad and steamship lines taken under Federal control under an act of Congress approved August 29 1916 entitled An act making appropriations for the support of the Army for the fiscal year ending June thirtieth nineteen hundred and seventeen and for other purposes shall be made by initiating the necessary rates fares charges classifications regulations and practices by filing the same with the Interstate Commerce Commission under authority of an act of Congress approved March 21 1918 entitled An act to provide for the operation of transportation systems while under Federal control for the just compensation of their owners and for other purposes
Now therefore under and by virtue of the provisions of the said act of March 21 1918 it is ordered that all existing freight rates passenger fares and baggage charges including changes heretofore published but not yeteffective on all traflic carried by all said railroad and steamship lines under Federal control whether the same be carried entirely by railroad entirely by water or partly by railroad and partly by water except traffic carried entirely by water to and from foreign countries be increased or modified effective June 25 1918 as to freight rates and effective June 10 1918 as to passenger fares and baggage charges to the extent and in the manner indicated and set forth in the Exhibit hereto attached and made part hereof by filing schedules with the Interstate Commerce Commission effective on not less than one days notice

Please refer to file No 15015
IN RE Application of all Steam Railroads in Georgia for authority to make effective on August 26th 1920 the same percentage of ad vances and the same increases in all intrastate rates fares and charges within this State as have been authorized and permitted by the Interstate Commerce Commission in respect to interstate rates fares and charges of carriers operating in Southern Group as defined and set forth by the Interstate Commerce Commission in proceeding before it designated as Ex Parte 74
An informal hearing and conference with representatives of carriers shippers Boards of Trade Chambers of Commerce and Traffic Bureaus in respect to the above mentioned application after due notice to the public was held by this Commission on August 17th There has been filed with the Commission stenographic reports of the evidence before the Interstate Commerce Commission and copies of its report and order in the matter A member of this Commission attended the hearings by the Interstate Commission and has reported thereon to this Commission
This Commission is satisfied from the record that because of increased costs of operations arising out of advances in wages and in the prices of mate
121
rials supplies and equipment and the apparent decreased purchasing power of the dollar as also the necessity arising out of the mandatory provisions of the Federal Transportation Act of 1920 requiring for the time being such rates fares and charges as will earn with honest economical and efficient management and reasonable expenditures for maintenance of way structures and equipment an aggregate annual net railway operating income equal as nearly as may be to six per cent per annum on the aggregate value of the railway property of such carriers held for and used in transportation service operating revenues in excess of those produced by existing rates fares and charges must be provided
It is also convinced that there is immediate need of such additional revenues in order that more efficient transportation services may be afforded to the public at the earliest possible date The reasons requiring increases in rates applying on interstate traffic seemingly require similar treatment of the rates on intrastate traffic
Upon consideration therefore of the original and supplemental applications and of the record and exhibits therewithsubmitted it is
ORDERED That all intrastate rates fares and charges now applying over the lines of steam railroads subject to the jurisdiction of this Commission may be increased as indicated below towit
Freight Rates and Charges
All freight rates and charges switching charges and charges for transit weighing diversion reconsignment lighterage floatage storage not including track storage and transfer where carriers provide separate charges against shippers for such services may be increased twenty five 25e percent except as to brick cotton and cotton linters the rates on which shall continue as now
And except the minimum charge of fifty cents on less than car load shipments and the minimum charge of fifteen dollars per car on car load shipments which shall remain as now
Passenger Fares Excess Baggage Charges Etc
1 All passenger fares and charges may be increased twenty 20 percent except as indicated below The term passenger fares includes standard local or interline fares excursion convention and other fares for special occasions commutation and other multiple forms of tickets extra fares on limited trains
club car charges
2 Excess baggage rates may be increased twenty 20 per cent provided that where stated as a percentage of or dependent upon passenger fares the increase in the latter will automatically effect the increase in the excess baggage rates
3 A surcharge upon passengers in sleeping and parlor cars may be made amounting to fifty 50 per cent of the charge for space in such cars such charges to be collected in connection with the charge for space and to accrue to the rail carriers
Milk and Cream Charges
Milk and Cream are usually carried onpassenger trains and the revenue
122
therefrom is not included in freight revenue Rates on these commodities may be increased twenty 20 per cent
Disposition of Fbactons
Freight Rules Eight 8 and twentyseven 27 of this Commission shall apply in the disposition of fractions occurring in any computation hereunder
Passenger Fare Exceptions
The increase of twenty per cent in passenger fares as provided in Paragraph One 1 above shall not apply on roads in Special Group of this Commissions Passenger Tariff Classification of Railroads now authorized to charge five 5 cents per mile nor on other roads in said classification in excess of a maximum fare of five 5 cents per mile five i cents per mile being the maximum passenger fare intended herein to be authorized on any railroad in this State
The increasesand advances herein authorized may be made effective on and after September 1st 1920 by the filing and publication of blanket supplements not less than three days in advance of effective date
Commutation and other multiple forms of tickets sold prior to this date shall be honored within their limits
The promulgation of the foregoing order in no wise procludes this Commission of its own initiative or upon complaint from consideration and such action as to it seems reasonable and just touching any classification rate fare charge rule or regulation relating to controlling or affecting Georgia intrastate freight or passenger traffic

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 classifications 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 im the same manner as above specified as notice to the public that said change has been made
