To His Excellency Thomas W Hardwick Governor
Sir In obedience to statute the Railroad Commission of Georgia submits herewith its FortyNinth Report the same being for the year ended December 31st 1921
RAILROAD RATES
In its 48th Report the Commission gave a brief history of the railroad freight and passenger rates applicable then and now on intrastate traffic in Georgia under orders of the Interstate Commerce Commission acting under powers granted it in the Federal Transportation Act of 1920 as broadly interpreted by that Commission
It was further stated in our Report that the interpretation placed upon this Act by the Interstate Commission had been questioned by several of the State Commissions and that there was then pending in the Supreme Court of the United States an appeal brought by the State of Wisconsin which would bring about a judicial interpretation of the Act with particular reference to the powers claimed under it by the Interstate Commission as to declaring invalid and setting aside statemade rates on strictly intrastate traffic
This Commission joined the other State Commissions in filing briefs
This case has been decided substantially sustaining the interpretations of the Interstate Commission as to its powers under the Act
Bills are now pending in Congress proposing to so amend the Act as to restrict the powers of the Interstate Commerce Commission as to intrastate rates to substantially those exercised by it under the principles laid down years ago in the Shreveport cases s
Practically all of the State Commissions in the United States are giving their support to these measures This Commission is joining in this support Without amendment of the Act by Congress the powers of the States over intrastate railroad rates will remain as for the past two years materially restrictea J
PENDING STATE REVISION OF GEORGIA FREIGHT RATES Notwithstanding the foregoing conditions this Commission has for the past several months had under investigation and consideration a complete revision of our intrastate freight tariffs classification and rules
in uFUv harihaVe b6en gen carriers and shippers and the revision is now 6 hands 0f the Commission for final disposition An order has been issued
General
J N IERsiTY
Athens
lorxary

Georgia
effective September 1st next providing for the adoption of a new classification and revised ratings and mileage tariffs as to the first 10 classes of freight
This order places the railroads of the State in two classes the first or A class embracing the main trunk lines of the State and the second or B class including the short and weaker lines
Strict mileage scales are provided for both road classes with joint line mileage scales for traffic participated in by more than one carrier
The mileage scale promulgated removes many discriminations now existing in Georgia under what has been known as the Base Point system or rates more largely prevalent in Georgia than in any other Southern State The tariffs prescribed carry both reductions and advances Such could not be avoided as in any effort to remove statewide discriminations a leveling process involving advances to depressed points and reductions to nonbase points was necessary for the preservation of the reasonable revenues of the carriers Special commodity rates are now under consideration and will be promulgated from time to time as consideration of each commodity is concluded
The revision undertaken is not only extensive in scope but peculiarly complicated at this time by reason of the interstate rate situation and special investigations being made by the Interstate Commerce Commission
Efforts are being made to bring about more extensive cooperation in rate matters between the Interstate Commerce Commission and the State Commission
EXPRESS RATES
Mention was made in our last Report of the fact that this Commission had denied the application of the American Railway Express Company for approval as to intrastate traffic of the increase of 13V2 granted by the Interstate Commerce Commission on interstate traffic and of the complaint subsequently filed with the Interstate Commission that our denial brought about unjust discrimination against interstate traffic
The complaint has been heard but the Interstate body has not yet rendered any decision in the matter so that intrastate express traffic in Georgia has not up to this date borne this increase in rates
SLEEPING AND CHAIR CAR SURCHARGE
On December 5th last the Commission issued its order effective December 20th cancelling the sleeping and chair car surcharge in intrastate traffic in effect since Federal operation of railroads this surcharge having been established by the Interstate Cdmmerce Commission for the benefit of the railroads The carriers have complained to the Interstate Commerce Commission alleging unjust discrimination against interstate traffic The complaint has been heard but no decision has as yet been announced
The surcharge pending decision is not being collected on intrastate traffic in Georgia
THE WESTERN AND ATLANTIC RAILROAD
Under the 1915 Lease Act the Railroad Commission is charged with supervision of the Western Atlantic Railroad and the States Chattanooga properties all under lease which began on December 27th 1919
The Lease contract for the railroad properties requiring the Lessee N C St L Rwy in addition to and exclusive of such expenditures as may be required for the proper repair and maintenance of the railroad and its properties to spend on capital additions and betterments not less than an average of 6000000 per annum during the term of the lease an aggregate of 300000000 It was made the duty of the Commission to check these charges at the beginning of each year and approve or disapprove the same During the two years of the lease expiring December 31st 1919 the Lessee has expended in additions and betterments under the above mentioned provision of the lease contract a total of 253041
The Commission has had its Engineer inspect and check these improvements and the expenditures therefor and has approved the same
The principal items have been for increased weight in rails improved track materials and telegraph and telephone lines on the north side of the track
The Commission has also made a careful inspection of the entire road depots etc and is pleased to report the road in first class condition
In making its inspection the Commission kept in mind a joint resolution of the General Assembly at its last session requesting it to order the erection of new stations at Marietta Cartersville Calhoun and Dalton and sheds at each point on the roadi Up to this date the Commission has not deemed conditions favorable for the carrying out of the suggestions of the General Assembly and no final action has been taken thereon
The two Commercial buildings in Chattanooga leased to J B Pound have been extensively remodeled and improved and converted to hotel uses They are in good condition and vastly improved over their condition when leased We are satisfied that the Lessee has spent on these buildings an amount in excess of contract requirements

DIRECTIONS FOR COMPUTING RATES
For the benefit of those who may not be familiar with the subject the following directions are given for the computation of rates from the Classification and Tariff of the Commission contained in this volume
This can best be done by 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 190 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 132 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
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 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 at ailowad to charge greater than the standard rates The classified list will be found on page 108109 and on page 132 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

RATE INCREASESEX PARTE 74
OFFICE OF THE RAILROAD COMMISSION OF GEORGIA
Atlanta Ga August 24th 1920
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 advances 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 Commissionattended 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 materials 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 iares 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 therewith submitted 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 25 per cent except as to brick cotton and cotton Unters 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 per cent except as indicated below The term passenger fares include 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
123
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 are usually carried on passenger trains and the revenue therefrom is not included in freight revenue Eates on these commodities may be increased twenty 20 per cent
Freight Eules Eight 8 and twentyseven 27 of this Commission shall apply in the disposition of fractions occurring in any computation hereunder
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 Bailroads 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 5 cents per mile being the maximum passenger fare intended herein to be authorized on any railroad in this State
The increases and 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
