ANNUAL REPORT

LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL

May 5th, 1925.

To H is Excellency, Clifford W alker, Governor:

In compliance w ith the law, the Georgia Public Service Commission submits herewith its Fifty-Second Report, the same being for the year ending December

31st, 1924.

RAILROAD RATES.

In our Fifty-First Report, we made reference to several bills then pending in Congress to restore to the State Commissions authority to make and control intrastate rates as formerly held under the principles laid down in w hat is known as the Shreveport Case. Congress has not yet acted on any of these bills and there has been no change in this situation since our last report.

The commission has continued the work of a general revision of all com modity rates in the State and has fixed rates on some additional very im portant commodities, such as Brick, and Clay Products, Furniture, Sand and Gravel, Chert, Crushed Stone, Ground or Pulverized Limestone and Logs. The rates approved by the Commission on Brick, etc., for the trunk lines of the State are on the same level as the rates prescribed by the Interstate Commerce Com mission for interstate application, thus m aking uniform interstate and intra state rates. These rates were also approved by other southern states, which m akes a uniform schedule throughout the South and is, therefore, very satis

factory from a m anu factu rer's standpoint.

The rates prescribed by the Commission on sand and gravel and crushed stone, is, one of the m ost im portant adjustm ents handled by the Commission in some tim e; as there is a very large movement of these commodities both for general com mercial use and for road-building purposes. The rates fixed by the Commission, while in some instances make m aterial increases, on the other hand th e re is considerable reduction in some of th e rates, p articu larly th e rates -moving road-building m aterial, and which will perm it the producers of this m aterial in Georgia to meet freely the competition of producers in other states, who have been shipping into Georgia. These rates place each producer on a parity w ith his competitor according to distance and location. It is estim ated by some of the producers th a t these rates w ill mean a considerable saving to our State Highway Department. The rates on ground or pulverized lim estone is another very im portant adjustm ent. This m aterial is produced in Georgia and is used very extensively by the farm ers for agricultural pur poses. The new rates represent general reductions and will perm it a free movement throughout the State. Both the carriers and the shippers express

satisfaction w ith these rates.

In September, 1924, th e Commission prescribed rates on fertilizer and fer tilizer m aterials. The ca rriers protested these rates as being too low and secured an injunction through the United States D istrict Court, which enjoined the Commission from enforcing its order. The Commission then rescinded the order for further investigation.
In our F ifty-First Report, we made reference to a general investigation of the In terstate Commerce Commission of class rates throughout the Southern territory, and predicted th a t a final order would perhaps be issued by January 1st, 1925. The Federal Commission has not yet issued any final orders in this case, but present indications are th a t orders will perhaps be issued on or before June 1st of this year.
The Interstate Commerce Commission is now m aking a general investiga tion of cement rates throughout the Southern States, the first hearings to be held in W ashington beginning March 9th, and will be continued at A tlanta, beginning May 21st. This Commission now has under consideration the revi sion of cement rates' in Georgia, but in view of the fact th at this Commission, together w ith other Southern States Commissions, is co-operating w ith the Interstate Commerce Commission in a general interstate investigation, it is very probable th at action on the Georgia rates will be deferred pending the decision of the general interstate investigation.
Beginning on April 20th, at A tlanta, the Interstate Commerce Commission will make a general investigation of fertilizer rates throughout the Southern States. The intrastate rates in Georgia, Alabama and South Carolina are involved in this investigation on account of our present rates being under at tack by the carriers under Section 13 of the Act to R egulate Commerce. The purpose of th is investigation is to fix a reasonable level of fertilizer rates to be applied uniformly, state and interstate, throughout the Southern States, which, of course, is very desirable.
Ju st recently the Interstate Commerce Commission has ordered a general investigation of all rates throughout the United States, in compliance w ith w hat is known as "SMITH-HOCH RESOLUTION", adopted by Congress, which required such investigation. The Federal Commission has solicited the full co-operation of all the State Commissions in this investigation, and plans for th is co-operative w ork a re now being w orked out by the m em bers of th e CoOperative Committee of State Commissioners appointed by the National Asso ciation of Railway and U tility Commissioners. This order covers such a broad scope it is difficult to forecast any probable results. If no change is made in this order it is estim ated that the investigation will last for many years to come.
EXPRESS RATES.
Reference was made in our Fifty-First Report to the General investigation of express rates made by the Interstate Commerce Commission. The investiga tion being conducted jointly by representatives of the F ederal and S tate Com missions, final orders were issued by the Interstate Commerce Commission m aking reductions in the interstate express rates in some of the territories including Zone 2, w hich em braces the Southern territo ry . The carriers applied to the Federal Courts for an injunction which was denied and the rates pre-
4

scribed by the F ederal Commission w ere m ade effective March 1st, 1925. This Commission then approved the class rates for Georgia Intrastate application, which had the effect of removing the com plaint of the American Railway Express Company vs. this Commission before the Interstate Commerce Commis sion on account of th is Commission's refusal to g ra n t a 13%% increase in the Georgia express rates in September, 1920. T his approval also had th e effect of m aking uniform in terstate and intrastate rates, resulting in both slight ad vances and reductions in our present rates. No change has yet been made in our Georgia express commodity rates.

U T IL IT Y RATES,
viz. Gas, Electic, Street Railw ay and Telephone Companies.
There have been no im portant changes made since our last report in rates for gas, street railway and telephone companies. There has been some change in electric light and power rates for some of the sm aller companies, which has resulted in lower rates for some communities. The South Georgia Public Service Company, operating at Americus, Georgia, has extended its lines to Cordele, Tifton, Sylvester, Ty Ty, Leslie and Desoto, Georgia, and as this Com pany secures hydro-electric power from the Georgia-Alabama Power Company, it affords to the communities it serves hydro-electric service at a lower rate than formerly furnished by steam power. The Valdosta Lighting Company is now securing power from the high tension lines of the South Georgia Piiblic Service Company, and in addition to serving hydro-electric power to the citizens of Valdosta, has extended transm ission lines to Sparks and Quitman, Georgia; thus giving to these communities hydro-electric service at lower rates than formerly secured by steam power.

T H E W ESTER N AND A T L A N T IC RAILROAD.
Under the Lease Act of 1915, the supervision of th is great property and the States 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 arid m aintenance of the railroad and its properties on capital additions and betterm ents not to be less th an an average of $60,000.00 per annum , have been properly reported up to December 31st, 1924. The am ount expended and allowed under th is provision m akes a total for th e year of $198,892.48, or in full from th e beginning of the lease to December 31st, 1924, $623,746.59, w hich is in excess of the contract requirem ents. The Commission has had its Engineer inspect and check these expenditures and has approved the same. The Com mission has gone over and inspected the entire road and is pleased to report the same in first-class condition. The two commercial buildings in Chattanooga leased to J. B. Pound are in good condition and the lessee is com plying w ith his contract made w ith the State.

~~~ --

It is the Commissions duty under the law to recommend such legislation V as it deems advisable. We have many times before recommended th at some law should be passed looking to the elim ination of dangerous grade crossings in the State. The frequency of accidents on these crossings and their serious

5

and fatal results compel us to again urge upon the legislature to enact some law th a t will tend to lessen this great destruction of property and life.
The motor bus can be seen on every highway in the State. Though in active competition to the railroads of the State, they are unregulated. Many of the States have taken jurisdiction over them. We are of the opinion th a t this will necessarily be done in Georgia sometime, and we therefore recommend th at proper legislation should be passed looking to their control and regulation.

Carrier's N egligence. "In order for a ca rrie r or other bailee to avail him self of the Act of God or exception under the contract as an excuse, he m ust establish not only th a t the Act of God or expected fact ultim ately occa sioned the loss, but th a t his own negligence did not contribute thereto."

Fractions that occur in the net rate, after adding or deducting any percentage applicable to the Standard Tariff, shall be disposed of as follow s:
If such rate applies to Class G. or to any other class w here frac tions are shown by the S tandard Tariff, fractions of three-fourths of a cent, or over, shall be computed as one cent and fractions less than three-fourths bu t not less th a n 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.--S tandard R ate -----6.5
25 per cent, added 1.6

T o ta l........................... 8.1 from w hich deduct fraction, leav ing desired rate of 8 cents.

Ex. 2.--S tandard R a t e ___9.5 20 per cent, added 1.9

T o ta l...........................11.4
Ex. 3.--S tandard R a te ___8 20 per cent, added 1.6

Substituting 5 for the fraction, the desired rate is 11.5 cents.

T o ta l........................... 9.6 S ubstituting '5 for th e fraction, the desired ra te is 9.5 cents.
Ex. 4.--S tandard R ate ____ 5.5 25 per cent, added 1.3

Total

6.8 Adding a u n it instead of a fraction, the desired rate is 7 cents.

If such ra te applies to Class No. One, or to any other class w here 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.--S tandard R ate ....1 7 . 20 per cent, added 3.4

T o ta l.......................... 20.4
Ex. 2.--S tandard R ate ....1 8 . 20 per cent, added 3.6
T o ta l.......................... 21.6

Deducting the fraction, the desired rate is 20 cents.
Estim ating 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 m anner as above out lined :

A tlanta, Ga ., A ugust 24th, 1920.
Please refer to file No. 15015.
IN RE: Application of all Steam Railroads in Georgia for au th o rity to m ake effective on A ugust 26th, 1920, the same percentage of advances and the same increases in all intra-state rates, fares and charges w ithin this State, as have been authorized and perm itted 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 P arte 74.
An inform al hearing and conference w ith 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 th is Commission on A ugust 17th. T here has been filed w ith the Commis sion stenographic reports of the evidence before the Interstate Commerce Com mission and copies of its report and order in the m atter. 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, th at because of increased costs of operations arising out of advances in wages and in th e prices of mate-
143

rials, supplies and equipment, and the apparent decreased purchasing power of the dollar, as also the necessity arising out of the m andatory provisions of the F ederal T ransportation Act of 1920 requiring for th e tim e being such rates, fares and charges as will earn, w ith 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, m ust be provided.
It is also convinced th at there is iinmediate need of such additional revenues in order th at 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 sim ilar treatm ent of the rates on in trastate traffic.
Upon consideration therefore of the original and supplem ental applica tions and of the record and exhibits therew ith 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 w it:
F reight 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 Enters, 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 rem ain as now.
P assenger F ares, E xcess Baggage Charges, E tc.
1. A ll passenger fares and charges m ay be increased tw enty (20%) per cent., except as indicated below. The term "passenger fares" include standard local or in terline 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 tw enty (20%) per cent., pro vided th a t w here stated as a percentage of or dependent upon passenger fares the increase in the latter will autom atically effect the increase in the excess baggage rates.
3. A surcharge upon passengers in sleeping and parlor cars may be made am ounting 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.
144

Mil k 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 tw enty (20%) per cent.

Dispo sitio n of F ractions.
Freight Rules E ight (8) and twenty-seven (27) of this Commission shall apply in the disposition of fractions occurring in any computation hereunder.

P assenger F are Exceptions.

T he increase of tw enty per cent, in passenger fares, as provided in P a ra 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 in ex cess of a m axim um 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 th e filing and publication of blanket sup plem ents not less th an three days in advance of effective date.

Commutation and other m ultiple forms of tickets sold prior to this date shall be honored w ithin 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.

IN RE: Application of-all Steam Railroads in Geprgia for au th o rity to make effective on A ugust 26th,' 1920, the same percentage of advances and the same increases in all intra-state rates, fares and charges, w ithin this State, as have been authorized and perm itted 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 P arte 74.
W hereas, on Ju ly 29th, 1920, the In tersta te Commerce Commission entered an order in the ra te proceeding know n as Ex P a rte 74, authorizing the rail-
145

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

And whereas, on A ugust 24th, 1920, upon application of Georgia C arriers 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 in trastate traffic twentyfive (25%) per cent., "except as to brick, cotton and cotton lin ters," th e rates on which were to rem ain as on th at date;
And whereas, the said railroads thereafter petitioned the Interstate Com merce Commission to remove an alleged discrim ination, 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 te rsta te traffic under the said order in Ex P arte 74;
And whereas, the Interstate Commerce Commission upon consideration, found and declared the rates on said commodities as prescribed by this Com mission unjustly discrim inatory and prejudicial as against interstate traffic therein and directed the said railroads to remove the said discrim ination by charging and collecting on in trastate traffic on said commodities the rates and charges prescribed in said order in Ex P a rte 74 as to in tra sta te traffic;
And whereas, the Supreme Court of the United States has declared orders sim ilar to the said last mentioned order of the Interstate Commerce Commis sion as to intrastate rates, to be w ithin the power and authority conferred on it under the F ederal T ransportation act of 1920;

Therefore upon fu rth er consideration, it is,

ORDERED: T hat the order of this Commission under date of August 24th, 1920, as above m entioned be and the sam e is hereby am ended by strik in g therefrom th e words "except as to brick, cotton and cotton linters, the rates on w hich shall continue as now," so th a t the paragraph so am ended shall read as follows: "All freight rates and charges, sw itching 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 w ithin the State of Georgia of the twenty-five (25%) per cent, increase authorized in said Ex P a rte 74 of the In tersta te Commerce Commission as to brick, cotton and cotton linters;
ORDERED FURTHER: T hat 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 th e provision of Ex P arte 74, and held valid under the Federal T ransportation Act of 1920, a >construed by the S u p rem e Court of the United States in the Wisconsin case, be and they are hereby approved.

DIRECTIONS FOR COMPUTING RATES
For the benefit of those who may not be fam iliar 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 brick, less carload, w eighing 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 a t company, page 205, w here th e distance from Savannah to Tennille is shown to be 135 miles. T urning to page 156, a classified list of railroads in Georgia is found; the Central being in Class C; and on the opposite page, 157, we find th a t on several classes of freight all roads in Class C are allowed to add 25 per cent, to rates shown in the S tandard Tariff.
Now tu rn to the Classification which begins on page 175 (arranged in alphabetical o rd er), and under the head of "B" it will be seen th a t brick, less carload is in Class "G". T urn to th e S tandard Tariff, page 166, and follow down the first column, w hich shows the miles. T here being no distance of 135 shown, the next highest distance governs; and opposite 140 miles, in the second column (th is being th e column for Class "G", the rate is seen to be 9 cents per 100 pounds. The road being allowed to add 25 per cent, to th is class, and 25 per cent, of 9 cents being 2% cents, we find by adding the 9 and 2% together, th at th e m axim um rate is 11% cents per 100 pounds after disposing of fractions according to F re ig h t Rule No. 8. To th is 11% cents should be added the in creases as per General Order No. 28 and ex parte 74 and then reduced 10% as of Ju ly 1st, 1922.
Direction to Agents Regarding the Construction of Joint Rates.
F reig h t Rule No. 27 provides th a t the m axim um charge on a shipm ent which moves between two points; both located in the State of Georgia, but not located on the sam e road, shall be 90 per cent, of th e local rate allowed to be charged by each road handling the freight.
To illustrate, on a shipm ent of freight, taking Class "G", the rate from F airb u rn (on the A. & W. P. R. R.) to Covington (on th e Georgia R. R.) will be arrived a t as follows, viz: Take th e A. & W . P. rate for Class "G" F airb u rn to A tlanta, from th is deduct 10 per cent., to this add the Georgia R. R. ra te from A tlanta to Covington less 10 per cent., account jo in t shipm ent, which represents Georgia R. R. proportion for hauling joint through shipm ents from F airburn to Covington.
E ach railroad com pany's proportion in handling joint through shipm ents, 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 th at many of the roads are allowed to charge greater than the standard rates. The classified list will be found on page 156 and on page 157 w ill be found th e percentage of increase allowed to such roads, and care should be taken to see that the standard rates
158

are increased to the extent provided before th e deduction of 10 per cent, in arriving at joint or through rates. See instructions above for arriving a t present Standard Rate.
Application of Rates Taking Classes One to " D", Also Commodity Rate
Tables Shown on Pages 161 to 174.
Classification of Railroads. # For the purpose of applying the Class and Commodity Rates shown on pages 161 to 174 the railroads in Georgia have been designated as F re ig h t Tariff Class "A" and F reig h t Tariff Class "B", as shown on pages 160; and 161.
Application of Rate Tables, R ate Table No. 1 . . . ........ ......................A p p lie s to single line distance between
points located on F reight Tariff Class "A" railroads. R ate Table No. 2........................................Applies to Jo in t line distance, between points located on two or more Freight Tariff Class "A" railroads.
R ate Table No. 3........................................Applies . to Jo in t line distance, between points located on Freight Tariff Class "A " railroads, and points located on Freight Tariff Class "B" railroads. Also between points located on Freight Tariff Class "A" railroads, when the distance constructed in connection with a F reight Tariff Class "B" railroad produces a lower rate than Rate Tables Nos. 1 or 2. Also between points located on Freight Tariff Class "B " railroads, when the distance construct ed in connection w ith a Freight Tariff Class "A" railroad produces a lower rate th an R ate Tables Nos. 4 or 5.

OPINIONS OF TH E SPECIAL ATTORNEY
W. E. WATKINS, Special Attorney.

AUTHORITY OF COMMISSION TO REQUIRE TELEPH ON E COMPANY TO CHANGE ITS SYSTEM FROM MAGNETO SYSTEM TO COMMON BATTERY. OR VICE VERSA.

Hon. P aul B. Tram m ell, Chairm an, Georgia Public Service Commission, A tlanta, Georgia.

A tlanta, Ga., Ju ly 25th, 1924.

Dear Sir:

I acknowledge receipt of your letter of the 22nd in stan t, enclosing file 14808 in re: com plaint of the Civitan Club of B arnesville, Georgia, ag a in st the Southern Bell Telephone and Telegraph Company, w herein you make the fol lowing request:
"Won't you kindly fu rnish the Commission w ith your opinion as to w hether this Commission has the authority to require the Telephone Company change its system of telephone business at Barnesville, from w hat is known as "Magneto System" to "Common Battery System," provided the service of the Magneto System is giving reasonably good service."
Section 2663 (P ark s Ann. Code) clothes th e Commission w ith general supervisory powers over all telephone and telegraph corporations or companies w ithin this State, specifically empowering the Commission to require such corporations or companies to establish and m aintain such public service and facilities as may be reasonable and just, either by general rules or by special orders in particular cases. W hile the specific power is not in term s conferred, as to telephone service and facilities by this section, yet inasmuch as it does so stipulate as to common carriers in this section, I conclude th at by necessary im plication it follows th a t in addition to reasonable and ju st service and facilities, you have authority to compel such service as the public convenience demands.
There seems to be no general rule covering telephone companies gener ally throughout the State as to w hat kind or character of service they shall furnish in the way of equipment, therefore this m ust be dealt w ith in a special order.
My inform ation is th a t the only difference in the magneto system and the b attery system relates solely to the method of signaling th e central office, the magneto system signaling by means of ringing a bell and the battery system Signalling by merely taking down the receiver. W hether the customer gets his connection in less time under the one system or other, depends at last upon the operator at the board. W hen the connection is finally made the service, considering both system s are in good working condition, should be the same.

246

My information also is th at to substitute one system for the other entails considerable costs. There seems to be no definite rules followed by the tele phone companies of the State about establishing either system, as in some towns sm aller than Bamesville, they have installed the battery system and in some larger they have installed the magneto system. The reasons prompting th e installation of the one or the other are determ ined by the m anagem ent of the company, and are to be presumed to be grounded in sound business dis
cretion. The Commission can and should compel proper, adequate and efficient
service, but under no circumstances can they control or substitute themselves as m anagers of the business. The line of dem arkation between regulation and control is oftimes shadowy and indistinct, therefore caution should be observed by the Commissin when nearing the indistinct line. Remembering th at reason able service does not mean perfect service, is not'confined to getting a con nection only, but includes the whole transaction of getting central, being con nected, and talking satisfactorily, it could hardly be said th at the Commission would be justified in substituting is judgm ent in place of th e m anagem ent's judgment, as to which system, w hether magneto or battery, should be installed a t some particular place. At last the m ain object of a telephone system is to talk satisfactorily after a connection is made.
In view of the above observations I am of the opinion th a t the question propounded by you should be answered in the negative.
As to this particular complaint upon which your inquiry is predicated and contained in th e fil, I am of th e opinion th a t th e Commission, w hile not authorized to designate the particular kind of system to be installed, can effectively regulate the system selected by the managem ent and there in stalled and rem edy the inefficient service complained of, by requiring and compelling the telephone company to employ a sufficient num ber of efficint operators at the switch-board so as to promptly and efficiently m ake prompt connections and require th at all needed repairs and replacements be made that are necessary or required to give customers using the system as near maximum, which is reasonable service, as can be rendered by the system there installed.

File enclosed.

Very truly yours, W. E. W atkins, Special Attorney.

QUESTION OF JURISDICTION OF COMMISSION OVER AMERICAN TELEPHONE AND TELEGRAPH COMPANY.
A tlanta, Ga., Decem ber 13, 1924. File GF-55. Mr. A lbert Collier, Secretary Georgia Public Service Commission, A tlanta, Ga. Dear Sir: I have your le tte r of th e 12th instant, enclosing le tte r from Mr. A. E. Hol comb; assistant secretary of the American Telephone and Telegraph Company,
247

addressed to Hon. Wm. A. W right, Com ptroller-General of th e S tate of Geor gia, and to which is attached a copy of an opinion of Judge J. K. Hines, Special A ttorney for th e R ailroad Commission of Georgia, rendered M arch 7th, 1913, holding th a t the Commission had no jurisdiction of the American Telephone and Telegraph Company, for the reason it does exclusively an interstate busi ness, and w herein you reguest th at I advise w hether or not in my opinion the said telephone company is subject to the provisions of the Brantley Bill ap proved A ugust 21st, 1922, providing for th e levying and collection of a special fee, over and above all other taxes for the purpose of m aintaining the Georgia Public Service Commission?
The B rantley Bill (Georgia Laws, 1922, page 143) provides th a t th e nam e of the Railroad Commission of Georgia be changed to Georgia Public Service Commission but reserving all rights, powers, duties and privileges and juris diction as theretofore conferred upon the Railroad Commission and conferred all these rights upon the Public Service Commission. O ther rights, powers, duties and privileges were added by this Act.
Among the added provisions as set forth in the caption of the Act is the following, "to provide a fee to be collected from all public utilities companies for the m aintenance of said Commission." This language in the caption of the Bill is broad enough to include utilities doing exclusively interstate busi ness. B ut in th e body of th e Act, Section 6 , page 145, th is broad and com prehensive designation of utilities subject to pay the special assessm ent or fee, is cut down to those subject to the jurisdiction of the Public Service Commission. Said section reading as follows:
"Sec. 6 . There shall be paid by all public service corporations, or utilities, subject to the jurisdiction addition to those now re quired by law. * * * * * "
As held by Judge Jam es K. Hines in the aforesaid opinion, utilities doing in terstate business exclusively, are not under the jurisdiction of the Commis sion.
Therefore if it be true as contended by the American Telephone and Telegraph Company, th a t they do no intra-state business, but confine their business to interstate business, then they are not subject to the jurisdiction of the Georgia Public Service Commission, and not being subject to the jurisdiction of the Commission, they do not come w ithin the provisions of the Brantley Act authorizing the collection of the fee for the m aintenance of the Commission.
So in my opinion they are not liable for the fee and the ComptrollerGeneral does not possess the power to require them to pay the assessment.
I return herewith all the papers. Yours truly, (Signed) W. E. W atkins, Special Attorney.

DETERMINING WHEN TERMS OF COMMISSIONERS BEGIN AND END.
A tlanta, Ga., Ja n u ary 7th, 1925.
To The Georgia Public Service Commission:
In obedience to the request of your Chairman for my opinion upon the following questions, I beg to submit my opinion, as follows:
The first q uestion 'is as to w hether it is the duty of this Commission to to m ake a determ ination as to w hether Mr. Boifeuillet or Mr. O. R. B ennett is the qualifid Commissioner entitled to sit w ith this body in its official deliberations and actions.
The second is as to which of these gentlem en is in my opinion the qualified Commissioner at the present time.
In answer to the first question, 1 beg to say th at this Commission does not have the power to make a.final and conclusive determ ination as to which of the gentlem en named is the legally qualified Codmissioner entitled to sit with them, since this power is lodged w ith the courts in this State in case of any contest over th e office.
However, it is not only necessary to the proper functioning of the Com mission, but also a duty impliedly resting on it from the nature of the situa tion, to determ ine which of these gentlem en will be recognized by the re m aining Com m issioners as th e proper incum bent of th e office a t th e p resen t tim e.
Government could not be carried on in an orderly way if those occupying tribunals and quasi-tribunals of government did not have the power of deter mining prima facie who were the persons entitled to be associated with the recognized incumbents in the perform ance of the duties placed on the in cumbents as a whole. To illustrate: If some outsider were to w alk in at a m eeting of this Board and attem pt to take his seat in one of the chairs oc cupied by the Commission in its hearings, the other Commissioners would have to use their common sense and judgment in determ ining whether that m an was an outsider or was a mem ber of the Commission; otherwise, outsiders could come in and participate in the deliberations of the Commission. The nature of the situation makes it therefore necessary for those commissioners who are unquestioned in th e ir rig h t to occupy th e offices of th e Commission to d eter mine who else shall be associated w ith them in these functions. The right to determ ine questions of this nature provisionally and until it can be finally determ ined by the courts m ust always be in some one, else governm ent would fail, and it seems axiomatic th at the persons who m ust prim arily determ ine the question are those who unquestionedly have the right to occupy the posi tions w ith which the contestant for the position will be associated if his right is recognized. Certainly this is true where this power is not lodged any where else, and I cannot find in the laws of this State any other place where this power has been lodged.
The statute creating this Commission has so organized it as th a t it would be a very exceptional case where there would not be as many as three (that
249

is to say, a quorum of the Commission) whose right to fill the position would be unquestioned. See Code Section 2616.
It is therefore my opinion th at it is not only the right, but it is the duty of the members of this Commission whose right to m embership thereon is not questioned, to make a provisional examination of the controversy be tw een Mr. Boifeuillet and Mr. B ennett as to which of them is entitled to be recognized by the remaining Commissioners as the fifth member of the Com mission, to the end th a t this Commission may function as the law directs. W hile such a decision on the part of the Commission would not be binding on the ultim ate rights of either of these two gentlem en, still it. will have the effect of giving to the Commissioner thus selected such a status as th at the legality of his acts cannot be questioned, for in th at situation our law con stru es the Com missioner who fulfills the office in connection w ith his asso ciates as being a de facto officer and his acts as such would he legal, even though the other Commissioners should make a m istake as between which of th e gentlem en is entitled to th e office.
Now as to which of these gentlemen is the present incumbent of the office:
This is a question for your determ ination. However, I will give you a statem ent as to the law on the subject.
By Section 2616 of th e Code, th e term s of office of all Com m issioners expire on December 1st, some expiring on December 1st of one year, some on December 1st of another. By calculating from the dates given in Section 2616 of th e Code, it can be seen th a t if th a t section of th e Code has been un affected by subsequent legilsation, the term which Mr. Boifeuillet has been filling will not expire until D ecem ber 1, 1925, and th a t th e term to w hich Mr. Bennett has been elected will not begin until th at time. It is contended, however, th a t the provisions of this Section of the Code on th at subject have been superseded and pro ta n to repealed by th e provisions of an Act of 1918, as am ended by th e A cts of 1921, (See Georgia Law s 1918, P. 154, Georgia Laws 1921, P. 232) and particularly by th e th ird section of th e Act of 1918.
If this law was constitutional, the effect of it would be as claimed by Mr. B ennett, nam ely, th a t the te rm of office held by Mr. Boifeuillet would have expired on Jan u ary 1, 1925. However, th e question as to th e co n stitution ality of this provision of the A ct of 1918 w ent to th e Suprem e Court of Georgia in th e case of McGregor vs. Clark, 155 Ga. 377, and th e Suprem e Court held th at this section of the Act was unconstitutional and th at its unconstitu tionality had not been cured nor its effect restored by anything that occurred in th e passage of th e A ct of 1921.
So, basing m y opinion on th e decision of the Suprem e Court, I m u st tell you th a t th e term of office for w hich Mr. Boifeuillet w as elected does n o t end un til D ecem ber 1, 1925, and th a t th e term of office fo r w hich Mr. B ennett has been elected does not begin u n til D ecem ber 1, 1925.
The m atter is som ewhat com plicated by the fact th a t Mr. B ennett presents a commission from the Governor, which on its face speaks of the term of office as beginning on Jan u ary 1, 1925. W ithout going into th e question as
250

I
to th e pow er of th e Governor to conclude a co n test as to th is office as be tw een tw o contestants for th e office, I m erely call atten tio n to th e 'f a c t th a t th e G overnor has no power to com m ission any person to a te rm of office until th at term begins according to the statutes of the State, In other words, it is a legislative function to declare w hen th e term s of office of th e ,p u b lic officials (where term s have not been set by the Constitution) shall begin, and the Governor cannot either deliberately or by inadvertence change th a t term of office w hich has been fixed by the legislature. T herefore, w here a com m ission m anifestly rela tes to a given term of office and th e d ate se t in th e commission does not correspond w ith the term set in the statute, it is to be presumed th at the date entered into the commission was put there by in advertence or clerical error and the law will read into the commission the dates th a t should be there, in accordance with the statute.
I hardly think it will be contended by any one th at the Governor could, by a rec ital in a com m ission to an office, change th e term of th a t office as provided in the Constitution or in the Statutes of the State.
Respectfully submitted, (Signed) W. E. W atkins, Special Attorney.
