ANNUAL REPORT

LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL

To His Excellency, Thomas W. Hardwick,, Governor.
-Sir.--

May 17th, 1923.

In compliance with the law, the Georgia Public Service Commission submits herewith its Fiftieth Report, the same being for the year ending December 31st, 1922.
OPERATION OF COMMISSION UNDER BRANTLEY BILL.
The Commission is now on its first year operating under what is known as the Brantley Bill, approved August 21st, 1922, which Act changed the name of the Commission from Railroad Commission of Georgia, to Georgia Public Service Com* mission, and provides for its maintenance by levying a special tax against the utilities coming under the jurisdiction of the Commission, thus making it unnecessary for the State to make any appropriation for this Commission. This tax gives the Commission an increase in its working fund, which was very much needed to accom plish the work before it.
RAILROAD RATES.
We made reference in our 49th Report of the bills pending in Congress to .amend the Transportation Act of 1920, so as to restore to the State Commissions, the power to make and control intrastate rates, as formerly held under the princi ples laid down in the Shreveport Case.
S

As yet, Congress has not acted and the powers of the States over intrastate rats are still restricted, and are unsettled and unsatisfactory.
However, this Commission has issued an order providing for the adoption of a new classification and revised ratings and mileage tariffs of the first ten Classes of freight, over the railroads in Georgia, to become effective May 1st, 1923. As stated in our former report, this mileage scale removes many discriminations now existing in Georgia under what has been known as the " Base Point" system of 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 state-wide discriminations, a leveling process, involving advances to depressed points and reductions to non-base points, was necessary for
. \
the preservation of the reasonable revenues of the carriers. On April 27th, 1923, the carriers filed with the Commission, a written protest against this order, claim ing the rates prescribed were too low, as compared with inter-state rates.
Special commodity rates are under consideration and will be promulgated from time to time, as consideration of each commodity is concluded.
EXPRESS RATES.
The Interstate Commerce Commission has not rendered a decision on the com plaint of the American Railway Express Company, filed with them and referred to in our 49th Report, claiming that the refusal of the Georgia Commission to grant them an increase of 13%% brought about unjust discrimination against interstate traffic. Though shippers in Georgia are paying 13%% less express rates than any Southern State, we are constantly receiving complaints of the high rates charged in this State.
SLEEPING AND CHAIR CAR SURCHARGE.
Since our last report, the Interstate Commerce Commission has declared that the decision of this Commission in issuing its order, cancelling the sleeping and chair car surcharge in intrastate traffic, was an unjust discrimination against interstate
4

traffic, and passengers in this State are now paying the surcharge required through out the country.
THE WESTERN & ATLANTIC RAILROAD
Under the 1915 Lease Act, this Commission is charged with supervision of the Western &Atlantic Railroad and the State's properties in Chattanooga, Ten nessee, all now under lease. The expenditures required of the lessee, in addition to the proper repairs and maintenance of the railroad and its properties, on capital additions and betterments, not to be less than an average of $60,000.00 per annum, have been properly reported up to December 31st, 1922. The amount expended and allowed under this provision makes a total of $338 231.87 which is in excess of the contract requirements.
The Commission has had its Engineer inspect and check these expenditures and has approved the same.
The Commission has gone over and inspected the entire road and is pleased to report the same in first class condition. The two commercial buildings in Chttanooga, leased to J. B. Pound, are in good condition and the lessee is filling his con tract with the State as per requirements.
OPERATION OF PUBLIC SERVICE CORPORATIONS. The Commission is. pleased to report that as a whole, the public service corpora tions under its jurisdiction are enjoying an improved condition of prosperity at the present time, as is evidenced by their reports, and as shown by their ability to se cure capital from without the State, to make extensions and enlarge their develop ments. With the rapid increase of population and the great growth of business, and the expansion and development of the State's natural resources, the work of the Commission is increasing year by year. Numbers of complaints, inquiries, applica tions, etc., from every section of the State, are received daily and the people are becoming more familiar with the duties and work of the Commission and are seek ing its aid and assistance more than ever before.
RECOMMENDATIONS.
Under the law, it is made the duty of the Commission to recommend from time to time, such legislation as they may deem advisable. We have recommended several times, without result, that some law should be passed, looking to the elimina tion of the dangerous grade crossings in this State, and consider it of such vital
K
82707

importance, that we again urge upon the Legislature to place the power in thehands of this Commission, to designate such crossings as should be done away withr and to apportion the expense of such work as if deems just, between the railroad and County, or City affected, or the Highway Department. Something should be done to decrease the heavy toll of life being caused almost daily on these death traps..
HYDRO-ELECTRIC DEVELOPMENT,
The total hydro-electric power developed for public use at this time in thisState, is approximately 420,000 H.P., and 'there is now under construction by one company, approximately 219,000 H.P. additional, which should be available by January 1st, 1924. This fact means much to the State of Georgia, industrially.

LAWS RELATING TO COMMON CARRIERS
Tha following references to laws of this State on the subjects of transportation and common carriers may prove helpful to the public. The citations given do not include all of our State laws relating to transportation.
Carrier Defined. " Any person undertaking to transport goods to another place, for compensation, is a carrier, and as such is bound to ordinary diligence. ''
Code Sec. 2711. Common Carrier Defined. " One who pursues the business constantly or con
tinuously 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. Note--Act of God means any act produced by physical causes which are inevitable, such as lightnings, storms, perils of the sea, earthquakes, inundation, sudden death or illness. Unavoid able accidents are the same as acts of God. 2 Ga. Rep. 349, etc.
Carrier's Negligence. " In order for a carrier or other bailee to avail him self of the Act of God or exception under the contract as an excuse, he must es tablish 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, E tc. " A common carrier, holding himself

Sec. 2729. Carrier's Responsibility Begins. " The responsibility of the carrier com
mences 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 their delivery 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 done without unreasonable delay." Code
Sec. 2730. Strikes as E xcuses for Delay. " Where a carrier receives freight for ship
ment, 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 auth orities when called upon by i t ." Code Sec. 2737.
Damage for Delay. " W W e 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."

" When any freight that has been shipped, to be conveyed by two or more common carriers to its destination, where, under the contract of shipment or by law, the responsibility of each or either shall cease upon delivery to the next " in good order," has been lost, damaged or destroyed, it shall' be the duty of the initial or any connecting carrier, upon application by the shipper, consignee or their assigns, within thirty days after application, to trace said freight and inform said applicant, in writing, when, where, how and by which carrier said' freight was lost, damaged or destroyed, and the names of the parties and their official position, if any, by whom the truth of facts set out in said information canbe established."

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. per centage 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 classification, is assigned to a certain class without percentage, re gardless of any percentage of increase that may be allowed upon other articles in said class.

Fractions resulting from deductions as herein required shall be disposed of in accordance with Freight Rule No. 8.
Provided, That this rule shall not be construed as prohibiting the division of any joint rate by the railroads at interest among themselves in such propor tions as may be agreed upon by them.
(Note)--Disposition of fractions in constructing joint rates by use of Freight Rule No. 27. Upon consideration, the Commission hereby interprets its Freight Rule No. 27 to mean that fractions resulting in the deduction of 10 per cent, from the locals of each line, as required by said rule, shall be disposed of in accordance with the provisions of Freight Rule No. 8, before combining the factors which constitute the joint rate.

RULE 28.
When transported by a narrow gauge railroad, fifteen thousand pounds shall be the minimum carload weight of any class of freight upon which the Com mission has made a rate " per carload," instead of " per ton" or " per hundred pounds," regardless of what the prescribed carload weight of similar freight may be when carried by standard gauge railroads; and the freight rate upon such a reduced carload weight shall be less in the same proportion.
Where continuous mileage rates apply, under the provisions of Freight Rule No. 1 of the Commission, to two lines of railroad, one of the same being of nar row gauge and the other of standard gauge, an extra charge of three dollars per carload, regardless of the weight or contents thereof, may be made for transferring a shipment of brick or lumber from one of said lines to the other in transit.

RULE 29.

Shipments of freight, except articles classified first-class or higher, which are not delivered at destination, may be returned between points within this State at one-half the rate applying in the reverse direction; provided, that the full amount of freight charges in both directions shall have been paid or guaranteed by owners, and, provided further, that such return is made within ninety days of arrival at destination. Billing for the return shipment must show proper reference to the original billing.
The foregoing shall not apply on Machinery, Agricultural Implements, or other articles returned for repairs. Provided, however, that the above rule shall not operate to reduce the minimum charge on single shipments, as per Rule No. 4.

I f the articles are in different classes, the highest carload rate and minimum weight provided for either of the articles in car shall be charged on all articles that make up the carload, actual weight to be charged for if in excess of the specified minimum weight. Except that where the actual weight of any one or more of the articles when taken separately or together equals the highest minimum carload weight provided for any one of said articles, shipper shall have the option of paying the less than carload rate on such of the articles as he may desire and the highest carload rate as above on the other articles in car.
Provided, That in no case shall the total eharge 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.

L. prescribed by the Storage Rules of this Commission, it shall be the duty of shipments. the delivering line, within forty-eight 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 agent, if it be so desired) by a sworn weigher, who shall furnish to the consignee a certificate showing the gross, fare, and net weights thereof. I f 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 reweight.
Provided, however, that no railroad company shall be required to reweigh ears as herein provided for, unless the consignee shall, at the time of requesting reweight, deposit with the agent of the delivering line the sum of two dollars, which amount, when the billed weight is corrected as hereinbefore provided for, shall be refunded to consignee within twenty-four hours after corrected weights are ascertained.
Free time for unloading cars which are reweighed as herein specified, pro vided the billed weights thereof are corrected as set out in paragraph one, shall begin at 7:00 o 'clock a. m. on the day following that upon which reweighing was done.
For a violation by any railroad company in this State of the provisions of -this rule, or any of them, such railroad company shall pay to the consignee so of fended within thirty days after demand therefor is made by the consignee, the sum of one dollar per day, for each offense, for each day that such violation continues.

EULE 32.

Overloading cars by Shippers.

Railroad companies will not be required to accept for transportation cars loaded by shippers in excess of their marked capacity plus ten per cent, and whenever a shipper at a flag station, or other station where there are no track scales, overloads a car as above, charges for transportation may be assessed on basis of ten per cent, above the current tariff rate.

RULE 33.

Routing

Whenever a shipper tenders to any railroad, express or other transportation

shipments. company, a shipment for transportation between points within this State, and

gives such company routing instructions, it shall be the duty of said company

to receive such shipment and forward according to instructions given. And if

it be necessary in complying with such routing instructions for the shipment

DIRECTIONS FOR COMPUTING RATES
For the benefit of those who may not be familiar with the subject, the follow ing 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 example:--Take, 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, r o.v3 207, where the distance from Savannah to Tennille is shown to be 135 miles, mfr-mng to page 112, a classified list of railroads in Georgia is found, the Central 1% in Class C; and on the opposite page, 113, 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 149 (arranged in alpha
betical order), and under the head of "D" it will be seen that Dry Goods are in '-class. Turn to the Standard Tariff, page 114, and follow down the first column, which shows the miles. There being no distance of 135 shown, the next highest dis tance governs; and opposite 140 miles, in the next column (this being the column for first-class), 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 500-pound shipment, $3.55.
D ire c t io n s to A g e n t s R egarding t h e Co n st r u c tio n 0 ? J o in t R a t e s .
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 first-class, 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 first-class Fairburn to Atlanta, which is 20 cents, from this deduct 10 per cent., or 2 cents, leaving 18 cents as pro portion 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 company's 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 108-109 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.

UNITED STATES RAILROAD ADMINISTRATION. OFFICE OF GENERAL DIRECTOR.
WASHINGTON, D. C,, MAY 25, 1918. 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 steam ship 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, classifica tions, regulations, and practices by filing the same with the Interstate Commerce Commission under authority of an act of Congress approved March 21, 1918, en titled "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 yet effective, on all traffic carried by all said railroad and steamship lines under Federal control, whether the be increased or modified, effective June 25, 1918, as to freight rates and effective June 10, 1918, as to passenge fares and baggage charges, to the extent and in the manner increaed or modified, effective June 25, 1918, as to freight rates and effective June 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 day's notice.
Given under my hand this the 25th day of May, 1918.
W. G. McAdoo, Director General of Railroads.

RATE INCREASES--EX 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 author ity to make effective on August 26th, 1920, the same percentage of ad vances and the same increases in all intra-state rates, fares and charges within this State, as have been authorized and permitted by the Inter state 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, ship pers, 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
126

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* 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, iares and charges, must be pro vided.
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 intra state traffic.
Upon consideration therefore of the original and supplemental applications and of the record and exhibits therewith submitted, it is
ORDERED: That all intra-state 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, to-wit:
F reight Rates and Charges.
All freight rates and charges, switching charges, and charges for transit, weighing, diversion, reconsignment, lighterage, floatage, storage (not including tra^k 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 ship ments, and the minimum charge of fifteen dollars per car on car load shipments, which shall remain as now.
- \
P assenger F ares, E xcess B aggage Charges. E tc.
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 in crease 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 on passenger trains, and the revenue therefrom is not included in freight revenue. Rates on these commodities may be increased twenty (20%) per cent.

Disposition of F ractions.
Freight Rules Eight (8) and twenty-seven (27) of this Commission shall apply in the disposition of fractions occurring in any computation hereunder.

P assenger F are E xceptions.
The increase of twenty per cent in passenger fares, as provided in Para graph One (1) above, shall not apply on roads in 11Special Group" of this Com missions " 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 (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 Com mission 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 intra state freight or passenger traffic.

factors^6 l0Cal rate f 6aCh rme t0 and frm the ;,'unction or transfer point as
(-) Joint rates between Freight Class " A " and Freight Class " B " rail roads shall be divided by allowing the Freight Class " A " railroad the same revenue or proportion of the joint rate as it receives in connection with a Freight Class
A road, the remainder of the joint rate to accrue to the Freight Class " B " ExcPt' that where the joint rate is made by the use of the Freight Class `,mt SCSle and traffic is handled by Freight Class " A " and Freight Class
. roads, the Class " B " road shall receive the same revenue or proportion of the joint rate as if the traffic had been handled jointly by Freight Class i f B** roads, the remainder of the joint rate to accrue to the Freight Class " A " road:
(3) Joint rates between Freight Class " B " roads shall be divided in the same manner as provided for Freight Class " A " roads:
(4) The above exceptions are not intended to prevent carriers from agreeing among themselves to divisions of joint rates on any other basis that is satisfactory to all parties concerned.
ORDERED FURTHER: (12) No carrier shall charge or receive compensation m the aggregate for the transportation of freight for a shorter than than for a longer distance over the same line of road in the same direction, the shorter being included within the longer distance: Except, that between points served by two or more carriers, the carrier having the longer distance will be permitted to meet the rate of the carrier via the short route and charge higher rates to intermediate points back to the distance of the competitive point, but not higher than the joint rates applying for actual short line distance via the competitive point.
ORDERED FURTHER: (13) That until the further order of this Commis sion, the Class Rates herein prescribed, when effective, shall be governed by Southern Classification No. 46, I. C. C. No. 15, Consolidated Classification No. 3, and Supple ments in effect on the effective date of this order, with such exceptions as the Com mission may make to said Southern Classification; except that yvhen any rule o f said Southern Classification as described conflicts With any rule of this Commission,, the rule of this Commission shall govern.

ORDERED FURTHER: (15) That each railroad doing business within the State of Georgia be and is hereby directed to revise and publish its Class Rates on Georgia Intrastate traffic in accordance with the provisions of this order and on and after May 1st, 1523, to observe and apply the same.
The rates authorized in the foregoing schedules make a complete change in the Class Rate structure in this State, and when effective, will cause some advances and some reductions, but will remove discriminations between communities, which have existed for a long period of time. The Commission considers the rates herein authorized to be fair and reasonable to the carriers and the public, at this time, but after a fair trial may desire to make a further revision of either the measure of the rates or the percentage relationship between the classes, or both.

OPINIONS OF THE SPECIAL ATTORNEY
E. J. REAGAN, Special Attorney.
GAS RATES--ATLANTA GAS LIGHT COMPANY
June 29th, 1922 The Honorable Railroad Commission of Georgia. Georgia Railway and Power Company, and Atlanta Gas Light Company,
YS. The Railroad Commission of Georgia, and others. In the District Court of the United States: Northern District of Georgia.
In response to the request of the Railroad Commission for an opinion as to the meaning and effect of the restraining order of the 21st day of December, 1921, and also of the order of the 16th day of February 1922, passed in the above stated case, and especially as to whether or not it would be a violation of either of said orders for the Railroad Commission to revise the rates of Atlanta Gas Light Company pending the appeal of the above stated case in the Supreme Court of the United-States, I beg to say, that, in my opinion, it would be a violation of said orders for the Railroad Commission to revise the rates of the Atlanta Gas Light Company while said case is pending in the Supreme Court of the United States. Con struing these two orders together they evidently mean that the Railroad Commis sion is restrained from enforcing its order of December 30th, 1921, and also re strained from changing the status of the existing gas rates during the pendency of the case in the Supreme Court of the United States. In the order of 16th day of February 1922 this language occurs, " It is further ordered that the original restraining order of date of December 31st, 1921, and the orders continuing said restraining order be continued of force until this appeal can be determined; the order herein operating as a supersedeas and maintaining the status. "
I am of the opinion that the status referred to here is the then existing gas rates, as the subject matter, and the only subject matter. contained in the bill was the effort of the Railroad Commission, by its order of December 30th, 1921, to revise and change the then existing gas rates. After carefully considering the whole matter I cannot escape the conclusion that the Railroad commission is restrained from changing the gas rates until the case in the Supreme Court of the United States is determined.
Entertaining this view of the matter my conclusion is that the Railroad Com mission has not the power to make any revision of these gas rates pending said case.
My opinion' is also asked as to 'whether or not it would be legal or proper for the Railroad Commission to apply to the Judge of the District Court of the United

States for a construction of the two restraining orders above mentioned, and for a ruling by said Judge as to whether or not the Railroad Commission can revise the rates of this Gas Company pending said case in the Supreme Court of the United States.
I beg to say that, in my opinion, it would be both illegal and improper to make such application. In all cases where the meaning of any written instrument is in doubt, and parties at interest feel that it is unsafe to act, courts of equity can be appealed to for construction and direction, and there is no good reason why the same rule should not apply to judgments, orders and decrees of the courts, and construction and direction asked of the court as to its orders, judgments or de crees. But the application must always be made to a court that has jurisdiction of the matter. The above stated case having been carried by appeal to the Supreme Court of the United States, it is not now, pending in District Court of the United States, and all power or control over any and every branch of the case by the Dis trict Judge, is suspended during the pendency of the appeal. For these reasons I think it would be improper to make such application.

Respectfully submitted, (Signed) E. J. REAGAN,

Special Attorney.

ISSUANCE OF FREE TRANSPORTATION ACCOUNT ORPHAN'S HOMES

January 29th, 1923.
File 7333. Mr. Albert Collier, Secretary,
Georgia Public Service Commission, Atlanta, Georgia.
Dear Sir:
Responding to your request for my opinion as to the legality of Mr. J. P. Bowdoin, Grand Master, Grand Lodge, F. & A. M., being furnished with free transportation by the railroads of the State, under the conditions named by him in liis letter of the 22nd instant, hereto annexed, I beg to say:
General Order No. 3 of the Railroad Commission dated October 29th, 1907, provides that after the 31st day of December, 1907, no railroad company or other common carrier, subject to the jurisdiction of the Railroad Commission of Georgia, shall be allowed to issue or honor any free ticket, free pass or free intrastate trans portation for passengers between any points in this State, except upon the terms provided for interstate free transportation by the Act of Congress approved June 29th, 1906, known as the Hepburn Act. It was evidently the purpose of the Rail road Commission of Georgia to conform to the Federal law on the subject of free passenger transportation.
The question here to be considered is, can the railroads and other common car riers of passengers in this State issue free transportation to Mr. Bowdoin under said General Order No. 3, and the Act of Congress therein referred to. This Act, after prohibiting the giving of any free ticket, free pass or free transportation for pas-

LIABILITY OF EXPRESS COMPANIES ON C. O. D. SHIPMENTS OF PERISHABLES--COMPLAINT OF MAGGIONI & COMPANY SAVANNAH, GA. December 28th, 1922. File 15278
Mr. E. M. Price, Rate Expert,
Georgia Public Service Commission,
Atlanta, Georgia.
Dear Sir: Replying to your request for an opinion in this case I beg to say that, after a
careful consideration of the matter I am of the opinion that if the Express Company shipped the fish from Savannah to Millen promptly, and tried to deliver them to the consignee without delay, and there was no delay in the shipment and offer to de liver, and the consignee refused to receive the shipment, then the Express Company was without fault up to that time, and the shipper would be liable for the express charges to Millen, and the Company would be liable to him for the value of the fish and the amount of the express charges on the return movement to Savannah.
I assume that, if the consignee had received the fish he would have paid all the express charges, but it seems that the shipper instructed the Express Company to return the fish to him by first express, in the event the consignee refused to accept them. If the Express Company did its full duty in shipping the fish to Millen promptly, and in promptly tendering them to the consignee, it occurs to me that it is entitled to the express charges for transporting the fish to Millen, even if it was guilty of such negligence in shipping them back to Savannah as to cause the loss
of the entire shipment.
Yours very truly, E. J. REAGAN.

LIABILITY OF EXPRESS COMPANIES ON C. O. D. SHIPMENTS OF PERISH ABLES--COMPLAINT OF MAGGIONI & COMPANY, SAVANNAH, Ga............

McDonough, Ga., Jan. 22nd, 1922. File 15278.

Complaint of Maggioni & Co., vs. American Rwy. Express Co.

Mr. E. M. Price, Rate Expert, Georgia Public Service Commission, Atlanta, Ga.

Dear Sir: , Replying to your request for an opinion in the above stated matter. I will
take up the letter of Messrs. Lawrence & Abrahams, to the Georgia Public Service Commission, under date of January 17, 1923, and give you my opinion as to the proper answer to questions 1, 2 and 3, contained therein, making said letter a part

of this opinion.

1.

I think that a proper answer to the first question should be, that in a case

as stated in this question, the Express Company would be liable for the value of the

fish and also for the express charges both ways. This is assuming that in the amount

stated as C. O. D. there is only included the value of the fish, and not the forwarding

251

express' charges also. If these charges are included in the C. O. D. the Company
would not be liable for both. 2. I think that a proper answer to the second question should be that, in a
case as stated in this question, that the Express Co. is liable for the full amount of the C. O. D., plus the express charges on the forward movement from Savannah to
Millen. 3. I think that a proper answer to the third question should be, that in a case
as stated in this question, that the Express Company would be liable for the amount of the C. O. D. and also the express charges on the forward movement from Savan nah to Millen, that is provided these charges were not included in the amount of the C. O. D. If they were so included, the Company would not be liable for both, but only for the amount of the C. O. B. or for the value of the fish with these express
charges added. You will note that in each of these questions the writers use the expression
" Amount of the C. O. D." Now, much depends on what is meant by this ex pression, that is what is included in the expression. I f the price of the fish to the consignee, and also the forward express charges are included in this expression, then the Express Company would only be liable for the C. O. D. and not an additional amount for the forward express charges, because these have already been refunded to the consignor in the payment of the amount of the C. O. D.
Trusting that this answers the request made, I am, Yours very truly, (S) E. J. EEAGAN, Special Atty.
METHOD OF COMPUTING STOEAGE CHAEGES
December 28th, 1922. File 15611.
Mr. E. M. Price, Eate Expert, Georgia Public Service Commission, Atlanta, Ga. Dear Sir:
In response to your request for my opinion as to whether the rules of the Georgia Public Service Commission for the computing of time in storage cases, or those in force during the period of government control, applied between March 1st and September 1st, 1920, I beg to say that the matter has given me considerable trouble, and at last, I have not arrived at a conclusion, without a doubt as to the correctness of the same. But, it is my opinion that when the control of the rail roads were restored to the owners on the 28th day of February, 1920, the rule of the State Commission as to computing time for which storage charges could be collected, was again in operation and controlled from that date. Therefore in computing the time for storage charges after that date Sundays and holidays should be excluded. I have arrived at this conclusion from a close study of Section 208(a) of the Transportation Act of Feb. 28th, 1920. I do not think that the words " rates, fares, and charges, and all classifications, regulations and practices, contained in that section included the rule of the Commission for the computing of time in storage cases, and therefore the same is not effective by said Act.
Yours very truly, E. J. EEAGAN.

FIFTY-FIRST REPORT
OF
GEORGIA PUBLIC SERVICE
COMMISSION
1924 FOOTE & DAVIES COMPANY
STATE PRINTERS ATLANTA

A N N U AL REPORT
LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL
May 10th, 1924.
To His Excellency, Clifford Walker, Governor:
In compliance with the law, the Georgia Public Service Commission sub mits herewith its Fifty-First Report,--the same being for the year ending December 31st, 1923.
RAILROAD RATES. Reference was made in our Forty-Ninth and Fiftieth Reports of the Bills pending in Congress to amend the Transportation Act of 1920, so as to restore to the State Commissions the power to make and control intrastate rates as formerly held under the principles laid down in the Shreveport case. Since our Fiftieth Report there has been a number of additional bills sub mitted to Congress, but as yet no action has been taken, and therefore no change in this situation since our Fiftieth Report. The Commission has con tinued the work of revising rates on commodities throughout the State, with the view of removing any discriminations between the localities, and effective November 15th, 1923, prescribed rats on many of the most important com modities, and now has under consideration schedules of rates on a number of other im portant commodities. Some of the rates fixed by the Commission in its order effective November 15th are now under attack before the Interstate Commerce Commission, it being claimed by the carriers that the rates are too low for general application.
In addition to the revision of the Georgia rates accomplished since our last Report, the Commission has been instrum ental in bringing about revisions of certain interstate rates of m aterial benefit to the shippers of the State.
Reference was made in our Fiftieth Report to investigation being made by the Interstate Commerce Commission, for the purpose, of revising Class Rates throughout the Southern States, the hearings being conducted jointly with members of the Interstate Commerce Commission and the committee of State Commissioners representing the Southern State Commissions. A tentative report has just been issued by the Interstate Commerce Commission, prescribing the tentative schedules of Class Rates for general application, and the rates which are carried in this report are approximately the Class Rates fixed by this Commission, effective May 1st, 1923. It will perhaps be January 1st, 1925, before the Interstate Commerce Commission finally disposes of the Southeastern Class Rate Case.
3

EXPRESS RATES.
In our Fiftieth Report we made reference to the complaint of the American Railway Express Company vs. this Commission before the Interstate Commerce Commission, account of the refusal of the Georgia Commission to grant a 13%% increase in the Georgia express rates. This complaint has not yet been disposed of by the Interstate Commerce Commission.
During the latter part of 1922, the Interstate Commerce Commission an nounced its purpose of making a general investigation of all express rates throughout the United States, and at the convention of the National Asso ciation of Railway and Utilities Commissioners at Detroit, the Committee of State Commissioners on Express Rates, at the invitation of the Interstate Commerce Commission, selected the Rate Expert of the California Commission to sit with an Examiner of the Interstate Commerce Commission in conducting hearings at various points throughout the United States. These hearings were completed during the spring of 1923, and in its report dated November 10th, 1923, the Interstate Commerce Commission determined reasonable rates for the future for general application, but made no order as to the date when the same would be made effective. The findings of the Commission in this Report resulted in some decreases in interstate express rates in this territory, and if made final, the interstate rates would then be approximately the same as the present Georgia rates. The Express Companies protested the proposed changes, and were permitted to file arguments with the Interstate Commerce Commission March 1st, 1924, and the m atter is now the subject of a further conference between the Interstate Commerce Commission and the State Com mission Conferees on May 16th, 1924.
TH E WESTERN & ATLANTIC RAILROAD.
Under the Lease Act of 1915, the supervision of this great property and the State's properties under lease in the City of Chattanooga, was placed under this Commission. The expenditures required of the lessee in addition to the proper repair and maintenance of the railroad and its properties on capital additions and betterments not to be less than an average of $60,000.00 per annum, have been properly reported up to December 31st, 1923. The amount expended and allowed under this provision makes a total for the year of $90,480.00 or in full from the beginning of the lease to December 31st, 1923, $408,711.87, which is in excess of the contract requirements. The Commission has had its Engineer inspect and check these expenditures and has approved the same. The Commission has gone over and inspected the entire road and is pleased to report the same in first-class condition. The two commercial build ings in Chattanooga leased to J. B. Pound are in good condition and the lessee is complying with his contract made with the State.

PUBLIC SERVICE CORPORATIONS.

There were reporting to this Commission during the year 1923, 199 public service corporations, and with a few exceptions they are in a prosperous con dition and many have made large extensions and developments since our last

report. The character of these corporations and the number in each class, is as

HYDRO-ELECTRIC DEVELOPMENT.
During the year, the Georgia Railway and Power Company has completed its Tugalo Hydro-Electric development with an installed capacity of 50,006 K W. or 88,000 H. P., with an average annual output of 140,000,000 K. W. H. It has also increased the Morgan Falls Hydro-Electric plant 5,000 K. W. or 7,500 H. P., which will afford an increased annual output of the whole plant approximately 20,000,000 K. W. H. This will make total Hydro-Electric power in use at this time in the State, of 515,500 H. P.

LAWS RELATING TO COMMON CARRIERS
The following references to laws of this State on the subjects of trans
portation and common carriers may prove helpful to the public. The citations
given do not include all of our State laws relating to transportation.
Ca rrier D e f in e d . "Any person undertaking to transport goods to another place, for compensation, is a carrier, and as such is bound to ordinary diligence." Code Sec. 2711.
Co m m o n Ca r rier D e f in e d . "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. Note--Act of God means any act produced by physical causes which are in evitable, such as lightnings, storms, perils of the sea, earthquakes, inundation, sudden death or illness. Unavoidable accidents are the same as acts of God. 2 Ga. Rep. 349, etc.
C a r r ier 's N eg l ig en c e. "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 th at the Act of God or expected fact ultimately occa sioned the loss, but that his own negligence did not contribute thereto." Code Sec. 2713.
R ailroads Co m m o n C a r rier s. "Railroad companies are common carriers and liable as such," Code Sec. 2751.
D u t y a s to R e c e p t io n o f G oods, E t c . "A common carrier, holding him self 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.
Ca r r ie r 's R e s p o n s ib il it y B e g in s . "The responsibility of the carrier com mences 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 their delivery at destination according to the direction of the person sending, or according to the custom of the trade." Code Sec. 2730.
R e s p o n s ib il it y for D e l a y . "The common carrier is bound not only for safe transportation, but also that the same be done without unreasonable delay." Code Sec. 2736.
S t r ik e s a s E x c u ses for D ela y . "Where a carrier receives freight for shipment, it is bound to forward within a reasonable time, although its em ployees strike or cease to work; but if the strike is accompanied with violence and intim idation 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 See. 2737.

D a m a g e for D e l a y . "Where a carrier fails to deliver goods in a reasonable time, the measure of damages is the difference between the m arket value at the time and place they should have been delivered and the time of actual
delivery." Code Sec. 2773.
R e c e ip t s fo r F r e ig h t . "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 practicably, 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 a misdemeanor." Code Sec. 633.
D u p l ic a t e F r e ig h t R e c e ip t s . "All railroad companies in this State shall, on demand, issue duplicate freight receipts to shippers, in which shall be stated, the class or classes of freight shipped, the freight charges over the road giving the receipt, and so far as practicable shall state the freight charges over the other roads that carry such freight. When the consignee presents the railroad receipt to the agent of the railroad that delivers such freight, such agent shall deliver the article shipped on payment of the rate charged for the class of freights mentioned in the receipt." Code Sec. 2643.
Ca r r ier s M u s t T race F r e ig h t . "When any freight th at has been shipped, to be conveyed by two or more common carriers to its destination, where, under the contract of shipment or by law, the responsibility of each or either shall cease upon delivery to the next `in good order,' has been lost, damaged or destroyed, it shall be the duty of the initial or any connecting carrier, upon application by the shipper, consignee or their assigns, within thirty days after application, to trace said freight and inform said applicant, in writing, when, whose, how and by which carrier said freight was lost, damaged or destroyed, and the names of the parties and their official position, if any, by whom the tru th of facts set out in said information can be established."

RULE 8.
Fractions that occur in the net rate, after adding or deducting any percentage applicable to the Standard Tariff, shall be disposed of as follows:
If such rate applies to Class G, or to any other class where frac Fractions, tions are shown by the Standard Tariff, fractions of three-fourths of how dis a cent, or over, shall be computed as one cent and fractions less than posed of. three-fourths but not less than one-fourth of a cent shall be com puted as half a cent. Fractions of less than one-fourth of a cent shall be dropped. Example: Ex. 1.--Standard Rate ---- 6.5
25 per cent, added 1.6

6.8 Adding a unit instead of a fraction, the desired rate is 7 cents.

If such rate applies to Class No. One, or to any other class where the Standard Tariff does not show fractions of a cent, fractions of a half cent, or over shall be computed as one cent; and fractions less than half a cent shall be dropped. Example:

Ex. 1.--Standard Rate ___17. 20 per cent, added 3.4

T otal......................... 20.4
Ex. 2.--Standard Rate ___18. 20 per cent, added 3.6

Deducting the fraction, the desired rate is 20 cents.
Estimating the fraction as a unit, the desired rate is 22 cents.

"In publishing rates on commodities, which take a per ton or per carload basis, and for the sake of convenience, it is desired to show such rates reduced to a per hundred pound basis, fractions resulting in the decimal shall be disposed of in the same manner as above out lined :

Provided, That this rule shall not be construed as prohibiting the division of any joint rate by the railroads at interest among them selves in such proportions as may be agreed upon by them.
(Note)--Disposition of fractions in constructing joint rates by use of Freight Rule No. 27. Upon consideration, the Commission here by interprets its Freight Rule No. 27 to mean that fractions resulting in the deduction of 10 per cent, from the locals of each line,, as required by said rule, shall be disposed of in accordance with the provisions of Freight Rule No. 8, before combining the factors which constitute the joint rate.

INTERPRETATION FREIGHT RULE. NO. 27.
In constructing combination rates, on all commodities subject to Freight Rule No. 27, and which were increased by specific amounts by the Director General of Railroads, United States Railroad Administra tion, under his General Order No. 28, ten per cent, shall be deducted from the maximum rates approved by the Commission in effect June 24th, 1918, of each line, and to the total through rate, add the specific increase authorized in Director General's General Order No. 28, Com mission's Special Emergency Order No. 4 and to this result add twen ty-five per cent, as authorized in the Commission's order dated August 24th effective September 1st, 1920.

RULE 29.

Beduced rates on re turned ship ments.

Shipments of freight, except articles classified first-class or higher, which are not delivered at destination, may be returned between points within this State at one-half the rate applying in the reverse direc tion; provided, th at the full amount of freight charges in both direc tions shall have been paid or guaranteed by owners, and, provided further, that such return is made within ninety days of arrival at destination. Billing for the return shipment must show proper refer ence to the original billing.
The foregoing shall not apply on Machinery, Agricultural Imple ments, or other articles returned for repairs. Provided, however, that the above rule shall not operate to reduce the minimum charge on single shipments, as per Rule No. 4.

scales a t that point, to have the same reweighed (in the presence of

consignee or his agent, 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 he cor

Provided, however, that no railroad company shall be required to reweigh cars as herein provided for, unless the consignee shall, at the time of requesting reweight, deposit with the agent of the delivering line the sum of two dollars, which amount, when the billed weight is corrected as hereinbefore provided for, shall be refunded to consignee within twenty-four hours after corrected weights are ascertained.

Free time for unloading cars which are reweighed as herein specified, provided the billed weights thereof are corrected as set out in paragraph one, shall begin at 7:00 o'clock a. m. on the day follow ing that upon which reweighing was done.

For a violation by any railroad company in this State of the pro visions of this rule, or any of them, such railroad company shall pay to the consignee so offended within th irty days after demand therefor is made by the consignee, the sum of one dollar per day, for each offense, for each day that such violation continues.

RULE 7.
A consignee whose place of business is located five miles, or over, from the depot to which his freight is billed, shall not be subject to any storage charge thereon until a sufficient time shall elapse, after legal notice of the arrival of such freight, for such consignee to have removed the same from the custody of the delivering carrier by the exercise of reasonable diligence, of which, in case of dispute, the Com mission shall judge.
RULE 8.
Where loaded cars are detained at th point of consignment for want of proper shipping instructions, or by reason of improper or ex cessive loading thereof by the shipper, the railroad company may col lect from such shipper one dollar per car for each day or fraction of a day th at such car or cars may be so delayed.

D IR EC TIO N S FOR C O M PU T IN G RATES
For the benefit of those who may not be familiar with the subject, the fol lowing 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 example:--Take, 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 th at company, page 244, where the distance from Savannah to Tennille is shown to be 135 miles. Turning to page 123, a classified list of railroads in ,, Georgia is found, the Central being in Class C; and on the opposite page, 124, we find th at 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 186 (arranged in
alphabetical order), and under the head of "D" it will be seen th at Dry Goods are in first-class. Turn to the Standard Tariff, page 125, 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 first-class), 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 500-pound ship
ment, $3.55. Direction to Agents Regarding the Construction of Joint Rates.
Freight Rule No. 27 provides th at 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 first-class, 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 first-class 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 company's 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 123 and on page 124 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. 127

O FFICE OF DIRECTOR GENERAL.
WASHINGTON, D. C., MAY 25, 1918.
GENERAL ORDER No. 28.
Whereas it has been found and is hereby certified to the Interstate Com merce Commission that in order to defray the expenses of Federal control and operation fairly chargeable to railway operating expenses, and also to pay rail way tax accruals other than war taxes, net rents for joint facilities and equip ment, and compensation to the carriers operating as a unit, it is necessray 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 sup port of the Army for the fiscal year ending June thirtieth, nineteen hundred and seventeen, and for other purposes," shall be made by initiating the neces sary 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 opera tion of transportation systems while under Federal control, for the just com pensation 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 th at all existing freight rates, passenger fares, and baggage charges, including changes heretofore published but not yet ef fective, on all traffic 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 thereof, by filing schedules with the Interstate Commerce Commission effective on not less than one day's notice.
Given under my hand this the 25th day of May, 1918.

Office of the RAILROAD COMMISSION OF GEORGIA.
A t l a n t a , G a ., August 24th, 1920.
Please refer to file No. 15015.
IN RE: Application of all Steam Railroads in Georgia for au thority to make effective on August 26th, 1920, the same percentage of advances and the same increases in all intra-state 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, ship pers, 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 Commis sion stenographic reports of the evidence before the Interstate Commerce Com mission and copies of its report and order in the matter. A member of this Commission attended the hearings by the Interstate Commission and has re ported 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-
137

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 manage ment 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, operat ing revenues in excess of those produced by existing rates, fares and charges, must be provided.
It is also convinced th at 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 treatm ent of the rates on intrastate traffic.
Upon consideration therefore of the original and supplemental applica tions and of the record and exhibits therewith submitted, it is
ORDERED: That all intra-state rates, fares and charges now applying over the lines of steam railroads subject to the jurisdiction of this Commission, may be inccreased as indicated below, to wit:
F reig h t R ates 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 linters, the rates on which shall continue as now.
And except, the minimum charge of fifty cents on less than carload ship ments, and the minimum charge of fifteen dollars per car on carload shipments, which shall remain as now.
P assenger F a res, E x cess B aggage C harg es, E tc.
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 oc casions; commutation and other multiple forms of tickets; extra fares on lim it ed trains; club car charges.
2. Excess baggage rates may be increased twenty (20%) per cent., pro vided 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.
138

m tt.t? a nd Cr ea m Charges.
Milk and Cream are usually carried on passenger trains, and the revenue therefrom is not included in freight revenue. Rates on these commodities may be increased twenty (20%) per cent.
D is po sit io n op F ra ctio n s.
Freight Rules Eight (8) and twenty-seven (27) of this Commission shall apply in the disposition of fractions occurring in any computation hereunder.

P assenger F are E x ceptio n s.

The increase of twenty per cent, in passenger fares, as provided in Para graph One (1) above, shall not apply on roads in "Special Group" of this Com missions "Passenger Tariff Classification of Railroads" now authorized to charge five (5) cents per mile, nor on other roads in said classification m ex cess of a maximum fare of five (5) cents per mile, five (5) cents per mile be ing the maximum passenger fare intended herein to be authorized on any rail

road 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 sup plements 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 precludes this Com mission 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 in

trastate freight or passenger traffic. BY ORDER OF THE COMMISSION:

IN RE: Application of all Steam Railroads in Georgia for au thority to make effective on August 26th, 1920, the same percentage of advances and the same increases in all intra-state 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.
Whereas on July 29th, 1920, the Interstate Commerce Commission entered an order in 'the rate proceeding known as Ex Parte 74, authorizing the rail-
i:io

roads to increase the then existing interstate rates, fares and charges between all points in the United States:

And whereas, on August 24th, 1920, upon application of Georgia Carriers and after hearing from both carriers and shippers, this Commission issued its orders authorizing all Steam Railroads subject to the jurisdiction of this Com mission to increase all freight rates and charges on intrastate traffic twentyfive (25%) per cent., "except as to brick, cotton and cotton linters," the rates on which were to remain as on th at date;
And whereas, the said railroads thereafter petitioned the Interstate Com merce Commission to remove an alleged discrimination, as to said excepted commodities, against interstate commerce arising out of lower rates applicable under the above mentioned order of this Commission than applicable on in terstate traffic under the said order in Ex Parte 74;
And whereas, the Interstate Commerce Commission upon consideration, found and declared the rates on said commodities as prescribed by this Com mission unjustly discriminatory and prejudicial as against interstate traffic therein and directed the said railroads to remove the said discrimination by charging and collecting on intrastate traffic on said commodities the rates and charges prescribed in said order in Ex Parte 74 as to intrastate traffic;
And whereas, the Supreme Court of the United States has declared orders similar to the said last mentioned order of the Interstate Commerce Commis sion as to intrastate rates, to be within the power and authority conferred on it under the Federal Transportation act of 1920;
Therefore upon further consideration, it is,
ORDERED: That the order of this Commission under date of August 24th, 1920, as above mentioned be and the same is hereby amended by striking therefrom the words "except as to brick, cotton and cotton linters, the rates on which shall continue as now," so th at the paragraph so amended shall read as follows: "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."
The purpose of this order is to give the approval of this Commission to the application on brick, cotton and cotton linters moving between points wholly within the State of Georgia of the twenty-five (25%) per cent, increase authorized in said Ex Parte 74 of the Interstate Commerce Commission as to brick, cotton and cotton linters;
ORDERED FURTHER: That the freight tariffs published and filed, and now being applied for the' transportation of brick, cotton and cotton linters, between points within the State of Georgia, in accordance with the; provision of Ex Parte 74, and held valid under the Federal Transportation Act of 1920, aj construed by the Supreme Court of the United States in the Wisconsin case, be and they are hereby approved.

ORDERED FURTHER: (10) That with the effective date of this order Freight rule 27 of this Commission, in so far as it relates to joint Class Rates, be and is suspended and the joint class rates prescribed in Class Rate Tables 2, 3 and 5 shall be thereafter applied on continuous mileage over two or more
lines of railroads:
ORDERED FURTHER: (11) Joint rates between Freight Class "A" railroads as shown in Rate Table No. 2 shall be divided on percentages arrived at by using the local rate of each line to and from the junction or transfer
point as factors: (2) Joint rates between Freight Class "A" and Freight Class "B" rail
roads shall be divided by allowing the Freight Class "A" railroad the same revenue or proportion of the joint rate as it receives in connection with a Freight Class "A" road, the remainder of the joint rate to accrue to the Freight Class "B" road: Except, th at where the joint rate is made by the use of the Freight Class "B" joint scale and traffic is handled by Freight Class "A" and Freight Class "B" roads, the Class "B" road shall receive the same revenue or proportion of the joint rate as if the traffic had been handled jointly by Freight Class "B" roads, the remainder of the joint rate to accrue to the Freight Class "A" road:
(3) Joint rates between Freight Class "B" roads shall be divided in the same manner as provided for Freight Class "A" roads:
(4) The above exceptions are not intended to prevent carriers from agree ing among themselves to divisions of joint rates on any other basis that is satis factory to all parties concerned.
ORDERED FURTHER: (12) No carrier shall charge or receive compen sation in the aggregate for the transportation of freight for a shorter than for a longer distance over the same line of road in the same direction, the shorter being included within the longer distance: Except, that between points served by two or more carriers, the carrier having the longer distance will be permitted to meet the rate of the carrier via the short route and charge higher rates to intermediate points back to the distance of the competitive point, but not higher than the joint rates applying for actual short line distance via the competitive point.
ORDERED FURTHER: (13) That until the further order of this Com mission, the Class Rates herein prescribed, when effective, shall be governed by Southern Classification No. 46, I. C. C. No. 15, Consolidated Classification No. 3, and Supplements in effect on the effective date of this order, with such exceptions as the Commission may make to said Southern Classification; except that when any rule of said Southern Classification as described conflicts with any rule of this Commission, the rule of this Commission shall govern. No change in said Classification which will affect the rates of freight as prescribed in the schedules herein provided, shall be made without the consent of this Commission thereto first being obtained.
ORDERED FURTHER: (14) That all commodities classified in this Com mission's Classification as taking lettered classes beyond Class D, and all
157

Specific commodity rates now in effect which are lower than this Commission's maximum rates shall continue in effect as at present, until the further order of this Commission.

ORDERED FURTHER: (15) That each railroad doing business within the State of Georgia be and is hereby directed to revise and publish its Class Rates on Georgia Intrastate traffic in accordance with the provisions of this order and on and after May 1st, 1923, to observe and apply the same.

The rates authorized in the foregoing schedules make a complete change in the Class Rate structure in this State, and when effective, will cause some advances and some reductions, but will remove discriminations between com munities, which have existed for a long period of time. The Commission con siders the rates herein authorized to be fair and reasonable to the carriers and the public, at this time, but after a fair trial may desire to make a further re vision of either the measure of the rates or the percentage relationship be tween the classes, or both. For the purpose of determining the effect of the rates herein authorized it is,

ORDERED FURTHER: (16) That each carrier shall file with the Com mission, not later than May 1st, 1924, a statem ent of its revenues on Georgia Intrastate traffic based upon the rates authorized in this order, compared with rates now in effect on business handled July 18th, September 20th, November 15th, 1923, and January 17th, 1924. This test to be made on similar form as that furnished the Commission as of July 19th, 20th, and 21st, 1923.

On February 28th, 1923, the Commission issued its Order, effective May 1st 1923, prescribing maximum Class Rates, to be applied to all traffic, classi fied as taking Classes One to D, both inclusive, except th at all specific Com modity Rates th at were less than the Commission's maximum rates, and all rates on commodities, classified beyond Class D in the Commission s Classifi cation, were required to remain as at present in effect.
For many years discriminations between communities have existed in Georgia in that rates to, from, and between some cities and towns have been less for a greater distance than to, from, and between cities and towns inter mediate for the shorter distance. One of the principal objects of the Commis sion in making the general revision, as of May 1st, 1923, was to remove these discriminations, so th at each community would pay equal rates, according to the distance and the class of railroad on which it is located.
In removing these discriminations in Georgia, it was necessary to increase rates at some points, and decrease'rates at other points, the increases being more pronounced at the larger cities or distributing points, where depressed rates have prevailed, whereas decreases are more pronounced at the small town or intermediate point, as the higher rate for the shorter distance has
prevailed at such points.
In some instances the maximum Class Rates authorized by the Commission are higher than the Interstate Class Rates, from points in other states to points in Georgia, for the same or equal distance, and in some instances the interstate distance is greater, and if the carriers apply the maximum rates au thorized by the Commission, and do not advance the interstate rates, there is a discrimination against the Georgia shipper, in favor of the interstate shippers.

Whereas, under date of April 14th, 1914, the Railroad Commission of Georgia heard from interested shippers and express companies with reference to a proposed revision of express rates on Georgia traffic, and,
Whereas, at said hearing the express companies represented to the Commission th at they were willing to establish on Georgia intra state express business the same rules, practices and rates, with cer tain modifications as to sub-block rates, as hasi been prescribed by the Interstate Commerce Commission to apply on interstate traffic, and,
Whereas, the Railroad Commission of Georgia, having closely fol lowed and studied the result of the Interstate Commerce Commission's investigation and order, which said order makes material departures from the old method of constructing and stating express rates, and,
Whereas, various State Commissions have adopted the plan and method ordered into effect by the Interstate Commerce Commission on interstate traffic, and,
Whereas, uniformity is much to be desired, if possible, to obtain, without putting an unjust burden upon the Georgia shippers, and,
Whereas, a uniform plan of stating rates will be highly beneficial to express shippers, and,

The facts necessary in arriving at the conclusions which I have are in corporated herein.
January 9th, 1899: The Chattanooga Rapid Transit Company was charter ed as a Georgia corporation by the Secretary of State, for the purpose as ex pressed in the charter, of constructing, equipping, m aintaining and operating a RAILROAD from a point near Rossville, Georgia, on the line between the States of Georgia and Tennessee at or between Rossville, Georgia, and Lookout Mountain, within five miles of Chattanooga, Tennessee, to run in a southerly direction into and through the counties of Catoosa and Walker, State of Georgia and into or near by and through the Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Park, to the town of Chickamauga, Walker county, Georgia. Its capital stock was fixed at $150,000.00.
According to the testimony of Mr. Reed (page 7 of stenographer's report of evidence) The Chattanooga Rapid Transit Company, under its Georgia char ter constructed, equipped and operated for a time a railroad from a point in Rossville, Georgia, beginning a t the line between the States of Georgia and Tennessee, over a right of way, a distance of 4.2 miles, to a point near the northern boundary of Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park, all in Walker county, Georgia. This is the road in question, which has not been extended or the location changed.
A natural deduction from subsequent events justifies the conclusion that there existed also a Tennessee railroad corporation using the name The Chat tanooga Rapid T ransit Company.
For January 11th, 1900, by a joint agreement in writing the Chattanooga Rapid Transit Company of Georgia and the Chattanooga Rapid Transit Com pany of Tennessee were consolidated, both of these companies ceasing to exist and a new company organized as a Tennessee company under the name of
284

Rapid Transit Company of Chattanooga. The agreement recites that a resolu tion was duly passed by the stockholders of each company at a regular meet ing held on the 10th day of January, 1900, authorizing the consolidation. By joint agreement the capital stocks, franchises and property of the two com panies were to be merged and consolidated under the name of Rapid Transit Company of Chattanooga, which consolidated company should thereafter have and possess, all and singular, the rights, franchises, powers, exemptions, im munities, privileges and capacities which are or have been granted to or con ferred upon, or possessed or enjoyed by either of the two original companies. It was also provided th at new directors should be elected, new certificates of stock issued in the new company and exchanged for old certificates of stock in the old companies, outstanding bonds were to be taken up and new mort gages issued in their stead, all debts of the old companies were assumed and new by-laws adopted. It is also recited th at the two roads consolidating were connecting lines and the consolidated line was to extend from Chattanooga, Tennessee, to the boundary of the Chickamauga Military Park in the State of Georgia, adm itting the passage of trains and cars over the line continuously without break or interruption.
On the 3rd day of April, 1906, Chattanooga Electric Railway Company, by authority of the State of Tennessee, amended its charter by changing its name to Chattanooga Railways Company and was granted the authority to construct a STR E E T RAILROAD "from the State line at or near Rossville, Georgia, to Fort Oglethorpe over the line now occupied by the tracks of the Rapid Transit Company of Chattanooga.
May 21st, 1906, Rapid Transit Company of Chattanooga. deeded and con veyed to Chattanooga Railways Company, a corporation created and organized under the laws of the State of Tennessee, with its principal office at Chat tanooga, Tennessee, the entire railroad of the bargainor, lying, being and ex tending within the corporate limits of the City of Chattanooga, in the State of Tennessee, and beyond the corporate limits in Hamilton county, Tennessee and in W alker county, Georgia, consisting of the following street car lines or STREET RAILROADS', naming together with other lines "its right of way from Rossville to Chickamauga Park in the State of Georgia."
August 10th, 1909, Chattanooga Railways Company deeded to Chattanooga Railway and Light Company, designated as a corporation organized and exist ing under the laws of the State of Tennessee, certain property including "Chickamauga Park L in e:" Beginning at 21st Street and the Rossville road, thence over private right of way from Rossville, crossing Missionary Ridge to Fort Oglethorpe in Walker county, Georgia.
July 18th, 1922, Chattanooga Railway and Light Company deeded to The Tennessee Electric Power Company, certain property, but specially reserving to itself the Chickamauga Park Line, extending from the junction with East Lake Line at the State line between Georgia and Tennessee.
A railroad company chartered by the State of Georgia is authorized to con solidate, by agreement, with another railroad company, incorporated under the laws of another State when their lines connect and by consolidation a con tinuous line will result.--Sections 2591 and 2597 Georgia Code 1910. There-
285

fore the consolidation of The Chattanooga Rapid Transit Company, of Geor gia, with The Chattanooga T ransit Company, of Tennessee, on January 11th, 1900, was a lawful consolidation, binding on the parties, their successors and assigns.
Whether this consolidation had the effect of surrendering the charter of the Georgia corporation depends upon the intention of the parties at the time of consolidation. The intention of the contracting parties in this case, as manifested in the resolution of the stockholders and incorporated in the agree ment of consolidation, is unmistakable that The Chattanooga Rapid Transit Company of Georgia as well as The Chattanooga Rapid Transit Company of Tennessee, was to be no more. The agreement in terms consolidated the two lines into one line, forming instantly a new corporation of Tennessee using a new name, a new board of directors, new issue of stock, a surrender of the cer tificates of stock in the old companies, cancellation of bonds of the old com panies and an issue of the new to take up the old and assumption of all debts of the old companies by the new. This joint agreement had the effect of dis solving The Chattanooga Rapid Transit Company, of Georgia, by consolidation, and from the 11th day of January, 1900,- it ceased to exist.--33 CYC, page 61.

April, 1906, Chattanooga Electric Railway Company, changed its name to Chattanooga Railways Company and was authorized by the State of Tennessee to construct a STREET RAILROAD "from the State line at or near Rossville, Georgia, to F ort Oglethorpe over the line now occupied by the tracks of the Rapid Transit Company of Chattanooga. In May, 1906, Chattanooga Railways Company succeeded the Chattanooga Rapid Transit Company as owners of its properties and franchises, to be used as a STREET RAILROAD. W hether a franchise granted by the State of Georgia to construct and operate a railroad over a certain route can be changed and superseded by a charter issued by the State of Tennessee to a Street Railroad is immaterial in the case, for the reason objectors insist th at it is a Street Railroad and it does not lie within the province of petitioners to question its charter provisions.
Chattanooga Railways Company, a street railroad, was succeeded by the Chattanooga Railway and Light Company, the present owners, a Tennessee corporation, and there being nothing in the record to the contrary, it is to be presumed th at it also is a Street Railroad.
Generally the Georgia Public Service Commission has no authority to au thorize a railroad to surrender its charter and cease to operate, and in no case to authorize a street railroad to so do. There is but one exception to the general rule and th at is the exception provided for by an Act of the General Assembly approved August 19th, 1918 (Ga. Laws 1918, page 211). The follow ing section of th at Act designates the cases.
Section 1--"Any railroad corporation chartered by the Secretary of this State, owning and operating any railroad, other than a street railroad, not
286

over five miles long, in this State, may cease temporarily or permanently, to exercise its franchises and to perform its duties as a common Carrier, and may surrender its franchises to the State, by order of the Railroad Commis

sion."



Three conditions precedent must appear before the Georgia Public Service Commission can assume jurisdiction. First, a railroad corporation, chartered by the Secretary of Georgia. Second, a railroad, other than a street railroad.

Third, not over five miles long.

The petitioner in this case, CHATTANOOGA RAILWAY AND LIGHT COM PANY, is not a railroad corporation chartered by the Secretary of the State of Georgia, but is chartered by the State of Tennessee. It is not a railroad, other than a street railroad, but as successor to Chattanooga Railways Com

pany, a street railroad, it is a street railroad.

In view of the foregoing, it is my opinion that the Georgia Public Service Commission is without jurisdiction to pass upon the merits of the case and that

the petition should be dismissed.

Respectfully submitted, this 3rd day of November, 1923.

W. E. WATKINS, Special Attorney.

LEGALITY OF SPECIAL ATTORNEY AND SECRETARY OF THE COMMIS SION ATTENDING ANNUAL MEETINGS OF NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF RAILWAY AND UTILITIES COMMISSIONERS.

Georgia Public Service Commission,

Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 18th, 1923, File 15166.

Atlanta, Georgia.

Gentlemen :

The Public Utility and Railroad Commission of the several states, many years ago, for the m utual edification of all, severally and jointly, associated themselves together under the name and style of National Association of Railway & Utility Commissioners, adopting a constitution, by-laws and other rules incident to such an association. In addition to sustaining an office with necessary counsel in the City of Washington, for the purpose of collecting leading, unusual or interesting cases occurring throughout the several states and distributing this information to the various commissions, keeping up with cases pending or decided by the Interstate Commerce Commission, affecting or likely to affect cases, rules or regulations over which state commissions have jurisdiction, regular annual meetings of the Association are provided for, at which time m atters of interest and concern as well as importance are discussed by members of the association, and from the experiences, observations and views of the members of the Association conclusions are sought to be arrived a t which will better enable the state commissions separately to perform their

287

duties, more intelligently, equitably and satisfactorily than they could without the benefit of the composite wisdom of all the Commissioners. Included in the membership of the National Association are Commissioners, clerks, attorneys and rate experts, all wjth rights of debate on the floor of the convention, but some denied the right of voting.
The Georgia Public Service Commission has for many years, possibly from its organization, taken an interest in the national organization, contribut ing yearly to the support and maintenance of the national organization, and sending delegates every year to the annual meeting, sometimes sending its Chairman and Secretary, sometimes members, sometimes a member and its Rate Expert, selecting delegates presumably with due regard to the questions to be discussed and the m atters to be voted on. But no m atter who attended as delegate or delegates, the Commission defrayed all legitimate expenses, and the ampunts contributed to the maintenance of the national organization were paid out of the funds allotted to the Commission by the State.
In discussing the m atters to be brought before, discussed and voted on, at the annual meeting for the year 1923, it was decided th at every member of the Commission should go if possible. The Chairman of the Commission, con sidering the changes in the Federal laws to be proposed and probably recom mended, by the Association to the National Congress, was of the opinion that these proposed changes were of such vital importance and of such far-reaching effect if passed, th at he not only thought it wise but essential that the Special Attorney should be there to hear and participate in any proceeding tending to change or amend the laws. He was also of the opinion that other m atters were to be taken up affecting the duties of the secretaries, and this necessitated the presence of the Secretary. Commissioner Perry thought it wise to have the Rate Expert present at the meeting. After full deliberation, according to the minutes, the motion was made, seconded and carried designating all the Com missioners, the Secretary, Rate Expect and Special Attorney as delegates.
At a subsequent meeting, Commissioner Perry filed w ritten objections to sending as delegates the Secretary of the Commission and the Special Attor ney, basing his objections on the legal ground that the Commission was author ized to send such employees or officers as delegates, citing and incorporating in his motion paragraph two of section seven of the Act of the General Assembly approved August 21st, 1923. These objections concede the legality of sending any or all of the Commissioners and the Rate Expert.
The Commission requests that I furnish them with an opinion upon the question raised by the objections, to wit: Conceding that members of the Com mission and the Rate Expert can be, can the Secretary and the Special Attor ney be sent as delegates to the national convention?
Inasmuch as I am catching this question in the middle, rather than at the beginning, and there has grown up what might be considered a custom, of the Commission, of sending delegates and contributing to the maintenance of the National Association, it might be well to inquire of the law as it stood prior to the enactment of legislature approved August 21st, 1923. Examination discloses th at the authority for previous years is to be found, if found at all, in Section 15 of the Act approved August 22nd, 1907, which is as follows:
288

Section 15: "The contingent expense fund of the Railroad Com mission shall not exceed $3,000.00 per annum, out of which it shall pay for office supplies, furniture, postage, stationery, traveling and other actual expenses of any Commissioner incurred by order of the Commission in the discharge of his duties, etc."
In this language per se there is no suggestion of a national organization, annual convention or of anything directly or indirectly connected therewith. Therefore in order to justify such an expenditure a larger and more compre hensive view of the whole law relating to the Commission and its duties had to be looked to therefor. I will not stop here to reason about the justification of such expenditures under this law, for the most satisfactory reason to myself, is th at the Commission acted on the advice and in accordance with an opinion, as I am advised, of Judge James K. Hines, when Special Attorney for the Commission, that it was lawful to so do, and holding as I do such a high regard for Judge Hines' opinions, when as Special Attorney and now as Judge of the Supreme Court of the State, that I am willing to accept and follow as being the law. Another powerful influence on me in not questioning the sound ness of this opinion, is that the then Chairman of the Commission, Murphy Candler, in addition to being a lawyer of towering ability, possesses a character that would not have allowed an expenditure unwarranted or unjustified under the law. The opinion of the one and the acts of the other convince me that it was the law then, and if it was the law then, it is the law now.
There are three ways of repealing a law. First, by direct act repealing. Second, by implication. Third, by passing a subsequent law so inconsistent with the existing law that the two cannot stand together.
The law of 1922 was not an effort to repeal the existing laws, except wherein irreconcilable conflictions existed. The caption indicates that the main purpose was to change the name, the method of collecting the money with which to defray its expenses and to enlarge its duties and purposes. Section 1 of the Act provides, "that all of the authority, rights, powers, duties, privi leges and jurisdiction of the Railroad Commission of Georgia are hereby ex pressly conferred upon the Georgia Public Service Commission, as fully as if so named in any laws of this State."
The law of 1922 provides a different sum of money, specifies that from this sum all expenses shall be paid and enlarges upon the provisions of the old law, instead of restricting them. The section applicable to the question under consideration, is found in paragraph 2 of Section 7 of the Act approved August 21st, 1922, which is as follows:
"All expenses incurred by the Commission pursuant to the pro visions of this Act, including actual and necessary traveling and other expenses and disbursements of the Commissioners, their officers and employees incurred while on business of the Commission, shall be paid . from the funds provided for the use of the Commission, after being approved by the Commission."
This language enlarges upon the language used in the law heretofore quoted and referred to as the old law, in that it includes expenses of officers and employees as well as members of the Commission,--whereas in the old
289

law, no mention was made of officers or employees. Therefore, I conclude that if under the old law officers and employees, as in some instances they were, could be included, then there can be no doubt thereabout now, since in terms the law so provides.
I have gone into detail thus far in order that you may have the whole situation before you in accepting or rejecting this opinion.
My opinion is th at this is not a legal question, so much as it is a question of fact. The law authorizes expenses paid of Commissioners, officers, and em ployees, without respect to any particular officer or employee, the sole condi tion being th at only expenses shall be paid when "INCURRED WHILE ON BUSINESS' OF THE COMMISSION.'' What is business of, and when a Com missioner, officer or employee is on business of the Commission, are questions of fact and these facts are to be determined by the Commission. If any money is paid out defraying the expenses of a Commissioner, officer or em ployee, when not on business of the Commission, in my opinion it is an un lawful and unjustifiable expenditure of public money and should not be coun tenanced. There is no distinction between a Commissioner and officer or em ployee. It is just as much wrong for a Commissioner to draw money for ex penses, when not on business for the Commission, as it is for an employee or officer, legally speaking,--and morally speaking, more so.
This being a question of fact, the sole judges of w hat is business of the Commission is the Commission itself. If, in your wisdom, you think the busi ness of the Georgia Public Service Commission can be subserved by sending delegates to a convention where m atters of importance, tends to or are likely to affect Georgia, are to be passed, you would be justified in paying their ex penses, for it is incumbent upon you as Commissioners to protect the interests of both the public utilities and the public of the State of Georgia, and this responsibility extends to every move made by any responsible agency that is made that may reflect its efforts to the detriment, hurt or injury of the people of this State. It is also your duty to promote all measures and move ments made towards bettering the conditions, rules or regulations affecting the general public in their relations to the public utilities.
W hat particular Commissioner, officer or employee that you wish to have attend to any particular duty, is left entirely to your discretion. It cannot be controlled by the law and is not so controlled, but is to be controlled by you acting on your best judgment, having due regard to the fitness of the Commis sioner, officer or employee to perform the duties that are to be performed.
Respectfully submitted,
W. E. Watkins,
Special Attorney, Georgia Public Service Commission.
