LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL

April 21st, 1927.

To His E xcellency, Governor Clifford Walker:

The Georgia Public Service Commission submits herewith its 54th Report, as required by law, covering the business and transactions of the Commission for the year ending December 31st, 1926.

In our 52nd Report, and also Supplemental Report of April 14th, 1926, reference was made to Bills 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 what is known as the "Shreveport Case." Altho additional Bills of this character have been submitted, the last session of Congress failed to take any action, and there has been no change in this situation.
RAILROAD RATES.
Since our last report, the Commission has brought about numerous adjustments of rates of an interstate character by handling informally with the carriers, as provided by law. One of the principal adjustments of this character was the matter of rates on sweet potatoes from Georgia to destinations in Florida. For some time our Geor gia shippers have endeavored to create a market for their sweet potatoes in Florida, but were unable to do so at a profit on account of the freight rate. The matter was handled, and promptly adjusted to the extent of saving the Georgia potato shipper from $75 to $125 per car.
Effective January 1st, 1927, the Commission revised the rates on manufactured iron and steel articles between points in Georgia as a part of the general revision of all freight rates in this State. The new adjustment represents both increases and de creases, but has the effect of placing every shipping point and receiver of these com modities on a parity according to distance, and also places them on a competitive basis with' interstate manufacturers.
As a part of the general revision of all freight rates in Georgia> the Commission submitted to carriers and shippers on November 26th, 1923, tentative rates on lime, car load, but on account of negotiations pending between carriers and shippers in re gard^ to the interstate rates, no definite action was taken following the hearings of November, 1923. After negotiations between shippers and carriers lasting over a period of many months, the carriers submitted to the Commission schedules of rates on lime which had been agreed to, and with some modifications, Orders were issued

II

making these rates effective March 12th, 1927. However, it was claimed by lime manufacturers in Maryland and West Virginia that the fates which had been approved in the South were so low as to create discriminations against the Northern kilns, and for this reason petitioned the Interstate Commerce Commission to suspend the Southern rates, which was granted. This Commission was represented at the hearings before the Interstate Commerce Commission in defense of the rates prescribed in Georgia and other Southern territory, but ho decision has been rendered by the Interstate Commerce Commission up to this tim.

The rates prescribed by this Commission on lime for intrastate application in Geor gia caused some increases to heretofore preferential points, bu^;,decreased -the fates to many of the local intermediate points, and brought about a. parity of rates from ,all shipping points to all destinations, according to distance.

There are large deposits of undeveloped limestone in the Northwestern Section

of Georgia, but at this time Georgia has only one lime manufacturing plant, and this

plant has been seriously handicapped on account of the present adjustment rates.

The new rates which this Commission has approved are designed to give to th sfs

of lime in Georgia the lowest possible rate, and are so constructed with relation to the

interstate rates as to encourage lime manufacturers to locate in Georgia and develop

our large deposits of limestone.

,

The Commission now has before it a general revision of rates on naval stores

between points in Georgia, hearings to begin May 10th. This is a very* important

adjustment to the naval stores interests of Georgia, and it is the purpose of;the Com

mission to make such revision as will bring about proper relationship betweein the

Georgia shippers, a s well as the interstate shippers*

,*{

In our 52nd Report, reference was made to the revision of rates on brick.l?**Since that report, carriers have filed formal complaints before the Interstate Commerce Com mission, alleging that the rates prescribed for intrastate application in Georgia bn common brick for distances above 150 miles are unreasonably low, and cret dis criminations against interstate commerce. These complaints have been defended by this Commission at hearings before the Interstate Commerce Commission, and our Commission has urged the Interstate Commerce;. Commission to decrease the inter state rates to protect the Georgia brick manufacturer on shipments from Georgia tc other states. The Interstate Commerce Commission has this case under consideration, but it will probably not be disposed of before Fall of this year.

Subsequent to our 52nd Report, certain sawmill operators in South Georgia brought to the attention of the Commission their inability to secure shipments of logs from Florida on account of the unreasonably high interstate rates. In accord with the pro visions of the law, the Commission handled the matter with the ,carriers af fault1in an attempt to bring about reasonable rates, and carriers failing to make what ip the opinion of the Commission was proper adjustment, the Commission filed formal com plaint before the Interstate Cbmmerce Commission. This Commission submitted evidence and testimony before the Interstate Commerce Commission, showing that the rates on logs from Florida to Georgia manufacturing towns were from 50% to 200% higher than the rates being applied intrastate in Florida,-thus creating such a discrimina tion against the Georgia shipper as to make it impossible for him to met' the cbmpetition of the Florida manufacturer. The Interstate Commrce Commission* ha nbt yet disposed of this complaint.

In November, 1923, this Commission revised the rates on cottonseed between points m Georgia, the rates being so adjusted as to permit the oil mills to draw cotton seed for longer distances than had been practicable theretofore. However, recently the cottonseed oil mills filed a petition with the Commission to make another revision of the cottonseed rates, and to revise the rates on a higher level for the longer distances than at present. Following this complaint by the Georgia mills, interstate shippers filed formal complaints before the Interstate Commerce Commission, alleging that the present Georgia rates are unreasonably low and discriminate against interstate commerce. As a result of this latter complaint, and other complaints in Southern territory, the Interstate Commerce Commission has instituted a general investigation of all the rates on cottonseed and cottonseed products, both inter and intrastate, thru out Southern territory and between Southern territory and other territories. This investigation is one of the most important undertaken by the Inter state Commerce Commission in some time, and realizing the importance of these rates to the Georgia farmer and cottonseed crusher, this Commission will co-operate with the Interstate Commerce Commission, with the view of arriving at just and reason able rates. The investigation of these rates will last over a period of several weeks.
In the early part of this year, the Interstate Commerce Commission instituted a general investigation of the rates on cotton thruout Southern and Western territory, including the rates from Southern and Western territory to Eastern territory, this investigation being conducted under Interstate Commerce Commission Docket 17000, which is the result of the Hoch-Smith Resolution of Congress, requiring the Inter state Commerce Commission to investigate all freight rates and make such adjust ments as will be of benefit to farmers and manufacturers. The Interstate Commis sion has consolidated with these hearings complaints of the Cotton Growers Asso ciations of eleven Southern and Western States in which they seek a general 20% re duction in rates on cotton. This Commission will co-operate with the Interstate Com merce Commission in these investigations, and it has been announced by the Interstate Commerce Commission that hearings will probably be assigned for early Fall.
/ In our report of April 14th, 1926, among other things we called attention to the investigation of rates on fertilizers being conducted by the Interstate Commerce Com" mission, as a result of complaints filed against the Georgia, Alabama, and South Caro" lina rates. Since this report, the Interstate Commerce Commission has handed down its final decision, prescribing maximum rates to be applied interstate thruout Southern territory. The decision of the Interstate Commerce Commission does not affect the rates in Georgia at this time, but carriers filed a petition with the Commission for approval of the interstate rates for intrastate application, and the carriers' petition was supported by a large number of fertilizer manufacturers and shippers in Georgia. The Commission now has this petition under consideration, and expects to dispose of same at an early date.
The adjustment of class rates being made by the Interstate Commerce Commis sion for Southwide application referred to in our Report of April 14th, 1926, has finally been made into an Order by the Interstate Commerce Commission to become effective July 1st, 1927. The new rates, when made effective, will remove many discriminations that have existed for years against certain communities, and will place all communities on a parity, according to distance.
IV

The matter of rates on cement referred to in our Report of April 14th, 1926, has not yet been disposed of by the Interstate Commerce Commission, but a tentative Order has been distributed by the Interstate Commerce Commission, and it is very probable that the Interstate Commerce Commission will revise the rates on cement thruout Southern territory within the present year.

In our 52nd Report, and also our Report of April 14th, 1926, we called attention to the rates on sand, gravel, and crushed stone prescribed by this Commission, and to complaints filed against these rates before the Interstate Commerce Commission by. the Atlanta Coast Line Railroad and shippers of sand and gravel in Alabama and Tennessee. The Interstate Commerce Commission issued a final Order in this case, prescribing maximum rates on sand, gravel, and crushed stone to be applied interstate from points in Alabama and Tennessee to Georgia, which are generally higher than the rates which this Commission prescribed for Georgia intrastate application, and which were under attach. The Interstate Commerce Commission stated in its Order that the Georgia rates are not discriminatory against interstate commerce, but suggested that the rates which it prescribed were maximum rates to be applied in this territory. Should the rates prescribed by the Interstate Commerce Commission be made effective in Georgia, it would materially increase the freight cost to the State Highway Depart ment and other large users of these materials.

The matter of rates on peaches from Georgia to Northern and Eastern destinations referred to in our Report of April 14th, 1926, has not yet been finally disposed of by
the Interstate Commerce Commission. A tentative report was submitted to carriers and shippers, and final argument has been had before the Interstate Commerce Com mission, but it is not probable that a final Order will be issued for three or four months from this date.

The investigation ordered by the Interstate Commerce Commission in the matter of charges for refrigeration service from various Southern States, including Georgia, referred to in our Report of April 14th, 1926, has been assigned for hearing before the
Interstate Commerce Commission at Jacksonville, Florida, April 26th, 1927. This
Commission will co-operate with the Interstate Commerce Commission in this investi gation.

In our Report of April 14th, 1926, reference was made to the rates on lumber and

other forest products from Southern territory, including Georgia, to the Carolina terri

tory and Northern and Eastern territory. This adjustment has not yet been disposed

of by the Interstate Commerce Commission, and final Orders will probably not be

issued before the latter part of the current year,,

,.

This Commission is co-operating with the Interstate Commerce Commission in its general investigation of rates on petroleum and petroleum products referred to in our Report of April 14th, 1926. Extensive hearings, lasting over a period of several weeks, have already been held, but at this time all evidence has not yet been submitted, and on account of the importance and magnitude of the case, it is not likely that a final Order will be issued before next year.

EXPRESS RATES.
In our Report of April 14th, 1926, reference was made to petition of the Ameri can Railway Express Company and Southeastern Express Company for approval of Official Classification No. 29, and also the pending revision of express rates on fruits

V

and vegetables, fish, milk, cream, etc. Since this Report, our Commission has approved the application of the Official Classification No. 29, and has also revised the express rates on fruits, vegetables, etc., the new rates on these commodities being brought into line with the general revision of express class rates mentioned in our last Report.
UTILITY RATES.
Viz: Gas, Electric, Street Railway, and Telephone Companies.
Since our last Report, there has been no general revision of rates of these utilities of statewide importance. The Commission now has before it petition of the AugustaAiken Railway & Electric Corporation for a revision of its wholesale and retail hydro electric power rates. This Company, within the last two or three years, has extended its operations thruout Northeastern Georgia, taking over several small municipal plants, and is also serving hydro-electric service to new communities that heretofore have not had electric service.
In our last Report, we mentioned the extension of the lines of the South Georgia Power Company and Georgia Railway and Power Company. This extension of ser vice has continued very actively since our last Report, and the merger of small pri vately owned, as well as municipal plants, has, in many instances, resulted in mater ial decreases in electric light and power rates with a continuity of service which these communities have not heretofore enjoyed.
During the past year a large number of electric plants in small towns have been purchased by, the larger hydro-electric companies. This includes a number of plants that were owned and operated by the local municipality, which, when so owned, does not come under the jurisdiction of the Commission. In practically every instance where the small plants have been absorbed by the larger companies, it has resulted in an immediate reduction in rates for light and power, and has also resulted in giving to these small communities continuous, twenty-four hour service. The merging of these properties is of vital interest to the citizens of Georgia, and is scrutinized by the Com mission, when jurisdiction attaches, in order that all parties may be fully protected.
Based on information now available, it is the opinion of the Commission that within the next twelve months a large number of the small communities will be merged with the larger electric companies, with the result that lower rates, continuous and better service will be realized.
Hydro-electric development is fast reaching a stage where every county in the State of Georgia will have an abundant supply of hydro-electric current for light and power, which, when thus available, will go far towards solving many difficulties now experienced on the farms. Refrigeration for preserving the various products, vege tables, meats, fruits, etc., will, in the near future, be regarded as one of the very neces sary facilities in operating a modern farm, to say nothing of the advantages in the way of power, lights, etc. Georgia can justly boast of the greatest hydro-electric develop ment within the past five years of any State in the South.
TELEPHONE RATES.
During the past year, the Commission has been called upon to revise the rates of several of the independent local telephone companies in the State, while only of local interest yet for toll service they are very important arteries in giving telephone Service throughout the State.
VI

The Commission has revised toll rates for the Bell Telephone Company and a large number of independent companies, which has had the effect of giving a better and more continuous service, and in most instances at less cost. Under the revised toll the reduced or night rates become effective at 7:30 P. M. instead of 8:30 P. M., as heretofore, and continue in effect until 4:30 A. M. The new rates also provide that a station-to-station call may be reversed, which has not been heretofore per* putted. This latter service has proved of material benefit to a large number of citizens, and particularly travelling business men, who have occasion to communicate with their homes or places of business from various sections of the State at the close of the day's work.
Much time has been given to advertising this station-to-station service now fur nished by the telephone companies, with the result that .a great economic saving has been experienced by the public, and has speeded up the handling of long distance calls,
WESTERN & ATLANTIC RAILROAD. Under the Act of 1915, leasing the State's Railroad property, supervision of this property and the properties under lease in the City of Chattanooga, Tennessee, is placed under the Georgia Public Service Commission. Dring the year 1926 there was expended by the Nashville, Chattanooga & St. Louis Railroad, as lessee of said property, in the way of additions and betterments, the sum of $241,508.15. Consider ing that only $60,000 per annum as a minimum is required to be expended under the terms of said lease, the above expenditures for the year 1926 strongly indicate the splendid condition the State s Railroad property is in at this time. There has been ex pended by said lessee in the way of additions and betterments to and including De cember 31st, 1926, after due allowances for proper deductions, a grand total of $1,442,683.58, a sum almost half of the total sum so to be expended during the fifty years of the lease.
The Commission has had its Engineer check all expenditures covered in the foregomg, and the Commission will make an additional check and inspection of said ex penditures on May 9th next. However, with information of unquestioned accuracy now in hand, the Commission is justified in saying that the condition of the road-bed is being improved from year to year, and is now in as good condition as any Railroad in the South, considering the size rail which is being added to with great dispatch from year to year. In the past two years the lessee has relaid about fifty miles of 110 lb. rail at an approximate cost of $390,000, yet the statement of additions and betterments for these two years shows a charge of about $120,000, and the balance has been charged to operating expenses. As between the rail weighing 110 lbs. per yard, against 90 lbs. rail removed, the actual addition and betterment charge is comparatively small, yet the lessee incurs the whole cost of the new rail purchased.
RECOMMENDATIONS. The law requires the Commission to recommend from time to time such legisla tion as, in its opinion, is desirable. We respectfully recommend the imperative neces sity of legislation looking to the elimination of grade crossings over steam Railroads. It is needless to recount the many shocking tragedies growing out of the delay in proper legislation along this line. It is the most extravagant thing that the Railroads are ex periencing, viewing it from an economic consideration. It is almost a daily occurrence that one or more lives are lost as a result of this delay. Surely the coming session of the Legislature in 1927 will make this one of its principal purposes in convening, to the end that it will have early and favorable consideration.
VII

Various forais of modern transportation are now engaged in on every highway thruout the State. Legislation controlling this form of transportation for passengers and freight in Georgia is as certain as time. Strange to say, Georgia, for some unknown reason, has lagged in this respect. There are only four or five States, including Geor gia, that have not provided proper legislation for this method of transportation, many states have had such legislation for the past fifteen years, and with absolute satisfac tion to the motor vehicle transportation interests, as well as the citizens of the states. Millions and millions of dollars are being expended in building highways, as it should be, but immediately this enormous investment is available for traffic, a new enter prise comes into existence in the form of a common carrier, with 80% of the total cost incident to carrying on its business furnished by the public without charge.

Why should Georgia delay legislation on this subject longer?

PUBLIC SERVICE CORPORATIONS.

There were reporting to this Commission during the year 1926, 271 public service corporations, and with a few exceptions, they are in a most prosperous condition.

LAWS RELATING TO COMMON CARRIERS

The 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 D efined. "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 D efined. "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 pre sumption 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-- A ct o j 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. Unavoidable accidents
are the same as acts of God. 2 Ga. Rep. 349, etc.

Carrier's N egligence. "In order for a carrier or other bailee to avail himself of the Act of God or exception under the contract as an excuse, he must establish not only that the Act of God or expected fact ultimately occasioned the loss, but that his own negligence did not contribute thereto." Code Sec. 2713.

Railroad Common Carriers. "Railroad companies are common carriers and liable as such," Code Sec. 2751.

D uty as to R eception of Goods, E tc. A common carrier, holding himself out to the public as such, is bound to receive all goods and passengers offered that he is able and accustomed to carry, upon compliance with such reasonable regulations as he may adopt for his own safety and the benefit of the public." Code Sec. 2729.

Carrier's R esponsibility B egins. "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 des tination according to the direction of the person sending, or according to the custom
of the trade." Code Sec. 2730.

R esponsibility for D elay. "The common carrier is bound not only for safe transportation, but also that the same be done without unreasonable delay." Code Sec. 2736.

Strikes as E xcuses for P $ lay. "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 ^ 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 b^ the civil authorities when called

upon by it." Code Sec. 2737.

: .

, ... i .

D amage for D elay. Where a carrier fails to deliver goods in a reasonable time, the measure of damages is the difference between the market value at the time and place they should have been delivered and the time of actual delivery/' Code Sec. 2773.
R eceipts for F reight. 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 oftthe property thus delivered, whenever the value can be estimated by weight; and in all cases where the value cannot thus be estimated, the receipt shall give a general description of the property and shall also specify, as near as practicable, the quantity or value thereof, and also the place of destination ; and any agent or officer of such company violating the provisions of this section shall be guilty of a misdemeanor." Code Sec. 633.
-Duplicate F reight R eceipts. "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 rail road that delivers such freight, such agent shall deliver the article shipped on pay ment of the rate charged for the class of freights mentioned in the receipt." Code Sec. 2643.
Carriers M ust T race F reight. ` 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, 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 truth of facts set out in said information can be estab lished." Code Sec. 2771.

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 fractions

are shown by the Standard Tariff, fractions of three-fourths of a cent, or

over, shall be computed as one cent and fractions less than three-fourths

but not less than one-fourth of a cent shall be computed as half a cent. Frac

tions of less than one-fourth of a cent shall be dropped. Example:

,

Ex. 1.--Standard Rate..... 6.5

j

25 per cent, added 1.6

Total................. --. 8.1 from which deduct fraction, leaving de- (

sired rate of 8 cents.

!

58

Ex. 2.--Standard Rate..... 9.5 20 per cent, added 1.9

Total............ ..11.4
Ex. 3.--Standard Rate..... 8 20 per cent, added 1.6

Substituting 5 for the fraction, the de sired rate is 11.5 cents.

Total................... . 9.6 Substituting 5 for the fraction, the de sired rate is 9.5 cents.
Ex. 4.--Standard Rate__... 5.5 25 per cent, added 1.3

Total..................... 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

Total.... ................ 20.4
Ex. 2.--Standard Rate..... 18. 20 per cent, added 3.6

Deducting the fractions, the desired rate is 20 cents.

Total..................... 21.6 Estimating the fraction as a unit, the desired rate is 22 cents.

"In publishing rates on commodities, which take a per ton or per car load 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 outlined:
Example: Standard Rate 3.833. Rate to apply 3.8. Standard Rate 3.451. Rate to apply 3.5."

RULE 9.

Where in the Commission's Freight Classification in classifying any given article or class of freight specific provision is made for a certain per centage above the Standard Tariff, that percentage alone shall be applied to the Standard Tariff in computing rates, regardless of any percentage allowed on individual railroad above the Standard Tariff in the general classification of railroads, to the end that no railroad company may apply more than one percentage of increase to the Standard Tariff rates in any instance.

Percentage of increase how applied.

59

Percentage of decrease how applied. How to apply percentages of increase. Articles-not included in Classification. Equal facili ties to all railroads.

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 Stan dard Tariff and freight charges assessed on basis of the rate so reduced with out regard to any percentage of increase that may be allowed an individual railroad on other articles in the same class as shown in the general classifica tion 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 with out percentage regardless of any percentage of increase that may be allow ed upon other articles in said class.
RULE 10.
Rates for the transportation of any article that is not included in the Freight Classification of this Commission shall be assessed upon basis of rating carried in Southern Classification provided said last named Classifi cation carries a specific rating for such article and if not rates shall be as sessed as if upon the article most analogous to it that is included in the Com mission's Freight Classification.
RULE 11.
The several railroad companies of this State in the conduct of their intra-state business shall at all terminal and connecting points, to any other railroad company whose tracks are of the same gauge, afford under sub stantially similar circumstances equal facilities for the interchange of freight, and upon like terms and conditions, whether in carload lots or less, without discrimination in favor of, or against, any; and whenever special facilities are offered to one such railroad company, in the interchange and delivery of freight, either to consignee or to connecting lines, whether upon a special rate authorized by this Commission, or otherwise, such company shall be bound to afford to all other connecting lines under like and substantially similar circumstances, like facilities upon like terms and rates.

Discretionary reduction on these articles.

RULE 12.
Railroad companies may, at their discretion, reduce rates on Ores, Sand, Clay, Stone, Brick, Bone, Lumber, Shingles, Laths, Staves, Empty Barrels, Wood, Syrup, Sugar-cane, Straw, Shucks, Hay, Fodder, Corn in ear, Tanbark, Turpentine, Rosin, Tar, and Household Goods, below the maximum rates prescribed by the Commission, provided, that in so doing, no unjust discrimination be made against any place or person.

Loading and unloading to be done by shipper.

RULE 13.
It shall be the duty of consignor and consignees to load and unload shipments of naval stores in carload lots and any goods in classes L, M, N. O, and P; and whenever railroad companies are required to do such loading or unloading, the actual cost thereof may be collected upon such payment.

60

RULE 14.

In no case shall the amount collected for transporting a less than car load shipment exceed what the amount would be for transporting a mini mum carload of goods of the same class, over the same railroad, between the same points.

L. O. L. rate not to exceed O. L.

In no case shall the charge per hundred pounds for transporting a car load shipment exceed the actually current rate per hundred pounds on goods of the same class, over the same railroad, between the same points, when shipped in lots less than a carload.

C. L. rate per 100 lbs. must not ex ceed L. O. L.

RULE 15.

Freight that is forwarded from any points other than a regular agency station (except as otherwise provided in Rules 23 and 23-A) may be billed, and freight charges may be assessed thereon, as if shipped from the first agency station in the opposite direction, or next further removed from the point of destination, and likewise, freight forwarded to such a point may be billed, and freight charges may be assessed thereon, as if shipped to the first agency station beyond the point of actual destination.

Passenger trains; rates of freight on.

RULE 17.
Railroads may charge, for transporting freight on regular passengertrains, one and one-half times the regular freight rate for the carriage of the same shipment by freight train between the same points.

Distances, regulations concerning. Over 100 miles.

RULE 18.
Where short of 100 miles the actual distance that a shipment may be carried is not shown by Standard Freight Tariff charges may be collected as for the distance that is shown by said Standard Tariff most nearly ap proximating the actual distance. For example: If actual distance be 48 miles, the 50-mile rate will apply; for 47 miles, the 45-mile rate will apply.
For distance over 100 miles, where the actual distance is not shown by the Standard Tariff, the next greater distance shown shall govern. For example: If the actual distance be 101 miles, the rate for 110 miles may apply.
Provided, however, that in all cases where fractional miles are shown, the unit mile is to be arrived at in the following manner:
For distance of one-half mile and over, the next unit mile above; for distances less than one-half mile, the unit mile below.

RULE 19.
A ton, as intended by all of the regulations of the Commission, is 2,000 pounds unless otherwise specified.
Unless otherwise specified in the Freight Classification of the Commis sion, a minimum carload is ten tons.
Where the weight of a shipment of any class of freight exceeds the speci fied carload weight for such freight, charges for the transportation thereof shall be based upon the carload rate per hundred pounds applied to the ac tual weight of the shipment without reference to the number of cars required in transportation.
A carload shipment shall be a consignment of at least the specified mini mum carload weight of one class of freight, at one time, by one consignor, from one point of consignment to one consignee, at one point of delivery.

Lapped lum ber, etc.

RULE 20.
Where, owing to the length, size, or other peculiarity of articles com posing a shipment,, such as lapped lumber, more than one car is required for the transportation thereof, freight charges may be assessed as if upon the prescribed minimum carload weight of such freight, multiplied by the number of cars so employed, regardless of how much less the actual weight of such shipment may be.

62

RULE 21.
Where, pursuant to any rules or orders of the Commission, or other wise, it shall become the duty of a railroad company, or where such com pany shall voluntarily undertake, to transport poles, wire and other materials for the construction, maintenance, operation or repair of telegraph or tele phone lines, and to distribute such materials along or upon its right of way between stations in this State, as desired by the consignor, the following regulations shall govern:
All such freights shall be billed at current tariff rates from the point of shipment to the first regular station next beyond the last intermediate place where any of such material is to be unloaded. The consignor shall furnish all labor necessary to effect such distribution . For the extra service and hazard of stopping cars and engines between stations as above indicated, the railroad company may charge and collect ten dollars per car in addition to the current tariff rates; it being understood that no regulation of this Commision shall require such distribution service to be performed, except for telephone or telegraph companies duly chartered according to law.

Telegraph material, dis tribution of on right of way.

RULE 22.
A railroad company, whose line of road does not exceed ten miles in length, may assess and collect freight charges on any shipment transported by it between any points on its line, as if said shipment were carried ten miles.

Ten miles minimum for short lines.

RULE 23.

A charge of no more than two dollars and twenty-five cents per car, without regard to its weight or contents, will be allowed for switching or transferring a loaded car from any point on any railroad to any connecting railroad, or to any warehouse, side track or other customary point of de livery that may be designated by the consignor, within a distance of three miles from the point of starting. When in the transfer or switching of a car between such points, it is necessary to pass over the track or tracks of any intermediate railroad or railroads, said maximum charge of two dollars and twenty-five cents shall be equitably divided between the railroads at interest.
When a charge is made for the transfer or switching of a loaded car be tween such points, no additional charge shall be made for the accompanying movement of the empty car in the opposite direction.

RULE 24.

Use of property by another railroad not authorized.

No regulation of the Commission shall be construed as requiring or authorizing the use of any property of one railroad company by another rail road, company, for any purpose whatever, without the consent of the owner of such property.
RULE 25.

Depots, hours for keeping open.

"At all of their agencies in Georgia in cities and towns having accord ing to the most recently published Federal census less than 1,000 popula tion, railroads shall receive all freight properly offered for transportation, and shall make the usual deliveries of freight to consignees, at all times on each day (except Sundays) between the hours of seven o'clock A. M. and four o'clock P. M., with the exception of one hour for dinner, the same to be fixed for each station so as to best suit the convenience of the public at
each of said agency stations.

In cities and towns having according to such census a population of 1,000 and less than 10,000 freight shall likewise be received and delivered between the hours of seven o'clock A. M. and five o'clock P. M., with the exception of one hour for dinner, the same to be fixed for each station so as to best suit the convenience of the public at each of said agency stations.

In cities and towns having according to such census 10,000 or more population freight shall likewise be received and delivered between the hours of seven o'clock A. M. and six o'clock P. M. with the exception of one hour for dinner, the same to be fixed for each station so as to best suit the con-

64

venience of the public at each of said agency stations.
Nothing in this Rule shall be construed so as to prevent such delivery and receiving of freights by railroads earlier or later than the above mention ed hours, if they so desire."

Earller or later delivery or receiving not pro hibited.

RULE 26.
All goods offered to a public carrier for transportation, shall be accom panied by the necessary instructions for the immediate shipment thereof.
No railroad company shall be required to accept for carriage any goods, unless the same shall be of such character and in such condition and so pre pared for shipment, as to render the transportation thereof reasonably safe and practicable; nor unless such goods, or the package containing the same, shall legibly bear the name and address of the intended consignee.
If the contents of a package can not be readily inspected, it shall be the duty of the consignor, upon demand, to furnish to the carrier a com plete, sworn list of such contents, in default of which the carrier may re fuse to accept such goods for transportation.
RULE 27.

Shipping in structions must accom pany goods. Preparation of goods for shipment.
Inspection, facilities for.

No railroad shall charge more than its maximum legal rate, less ten Joint rates. per centum, for its service in carrying a joint shipment; that is to say, a a shipment that, in reaching its destination, is carried by two or more dif, ferent, independent and separately operated railroads, to which continuous mileage rates do not apply, under the provisions of Freight Rule No. 1. Frac tions 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 divi sion of any joint rate by the railroads at interest among themselves 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 hereby inter. prets its Freight Rule No. 27 to mean that fractions resulting in the deduc tion 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.

INTERPRETATION FREIGHT RULE NO. 27.

o

,

In constructing combination rates, on all commodities subject to Freight

Rule No. 27, and which were increased by specific amounts by the Director

e General of Railroads, United States Railroad Administration, under his

s General Order No. 28, ten per cent, shall be deducted from the maximum

r rates approved by the Commission in effect June 24th, 1918, of each line,

l" and to the total through rate, add the specific increase authorized in Direc-

65

tor General's General Order No. 28, Commission s Special Emergency Order No. 4 and to this result add twenty-five per cent, as authorized in the Com mission's order dated August 24th effective September 1st, 1920. Then reduce total rate ten per cent, as of July 1st, 1922.

RULE 28.

Narrow gauge rail roads, car load-weights. Transfer to and from nar row gauge railroads. Reduced rates on re turned ship ments.

When transported by a narrow gauge railroad, fifteen thousand pounds shall be the minimum carload weight of any class of freight upon which the Commission 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 narrow 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 fu rth er, 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.
Agricultural Implements and Machinery, C. L. or L. C. L., returned to manufacturers, must be prepaid, or way-bill must be accompanied by an order from manufacturers for such return.

RULE 30.

Mixed ship ments.

Unless otherwise specifically provided in the Classification, any pack age containing articles of more than one class will be charged at the rate for the highest class articles contained therein.
When a number of different articles, all of which are in the same class, are shipped at one time by one consignor to one consignee and one destina tion in carloads, such car or cars shall be taken at the carload rate per 100 pounds and at the highest minimum carload weight established for either

66

of the articles contained in car, actual weight to be charged for if in excess of such carload minimum. Provided, however, that when articles shipped as above are in class N, 0 or P, the lowest carload weight shall be used.
If the articles are in different classes, the highest carload rate and mini mum 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 ex cess 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 charge for any mixed carload of freight, exceed the charge that would be arrived at by applying the less carload rate for each article at the actual weight thereof.

RULE 31.

Upon the request of a consignee or consignees of carload shipments for reweighmg a car or cars, providing such request is made within the free time prescribed by the Storage Rules of this Commission, it shall be the duty of the delivering line, within forty-eight hours after the receipt of such re quest, 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 sworti weigher, who shall furnish to the consignee a certificate showing the gross, tare, and net weights thereof. If the net weight thus ascertained shall differ from the billed weight by more than one per cent, of the latter, subject to a minimum of five hundred pounds, the billing shall be corrected to the reweight.

Reweighing O. L. ship ments.

Provided, however, that no railroad company shall be required to re weigh 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 here inbefore 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 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 offended within thirty days after demand therefor is made by the consig nee, the sum of one dollar per day, for each offense, for each day that such violation continues.

67

Overloading cars by shippers.

RULE 32.
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 ship ments. Penalty for failure to observe rout ing instruc tions.

Whenever a shipper tenders to any railroad, express or other transpor tation 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 instruc tions given. And if it be necessary in complying with such routing instruc tions for the shipment to pass over the lines of two or more companies, it shall be the duty of the initial company to so deliver to its connections, and each succeeding company shall do likewise, as will cause compliance with routirig instructions, and the lowest rate applicable via such specified route
shall be applied.
Where shipments are tendered without routing instructions, the com pany receiving same in the first instance shall forward said shipments with due regard to the interests of the shippers and by that reasonable and prac ticable route over which the lowest charge for transportation applies, and any damage resulting to a shipper from a disregard of this obligation by any company, shall be repaired by the company responsible for the misrouting making reparation to shipper to the extent of the difference between the necessary expense incurred in making delivery of shipment over the route by which same improperly moved and the necessary expense which would have been incurred had shipment been properly routed; provided, that any reparation made upon this account shall in no wise affect the right of shipper to any claim for actual damages sustained in excess of the dif ference in expense incurred in making delivery as herein provided.

RULE 34.

Allowance for dunnage.

Railroad companies are required to make an allowance equal to the actual weight thereof, subject to a maximum allowance of 1,000 pounds for linings, floorings, strippings, staking or dunnage placed in or on cars by shippers, used for the protection of property in transit requiring their use; provided, that in no case shall less than the specified minimum carload weight be charged for on the property contained in or on the car, subject to the provisions of Freight Rule No. 19; Provided further, that shippers shall indicate on their shipping instructions the actual weight of the dunnage used, and any weight in excess of one thousand pounds shall be charged for at the rate applicable to the shipment to protect which the linings, floor ings, strippings, staking, or dunnage is used.

The following rules shall govern the collection of all storage and de murrage charges in this State, and for failure of either shipper or consignee, or railroad company to comply with the terms of said rules, the party at fault shall incur the penalties prescribed by the rule or rules violated. Pro vided, however, that if compliance with the terms of any of said rules by a railroad company be made impracticable by some cause over which said company has no control, the time during which compliance therewith is thus suspended shall be counted as free time. As to any dispute growing out of this provision, however, the Commission shall be the sole judge.

RULE 1-A.

Upon the arrival at destination of any and all freights, the delivering line shall within twenty-four hours thereafter, give to consignees thereof legal notice of such arrival, and the giving of such legal notice as herein after defined shall be a condition precedent to the collection by railroad companies of any storage charges upon any shipment, notice of arrival of which has not been thus served upon the consignee, and no storage charges shall be assessed nor collected other than as authorized by these rules.

Notice of arrival of goods to be given.

For failure to give such legal notice of arrival, the railroad company at fault shall, within thirty days after demand in writing is made therefor, pay to the consignee so offended the sum of one dollar per car per day on carload shipments, and one cent per hundred pounds per day on less than carload shipments, for each day during which the terms of this rule are not complied with.

RULE 2.

Legal notice, as herein understood and intended, may be either served by mail or personally; and the leaving of notice at the consignee's residence, or usual place of doing business, shall also be considered personal notice. In case of carload shipments, such notice must show the content, point of origin, the initials and number or numbers of the car or cars, containing the same, and if the shipment has been transferred en route, the initials and number or numbers of the car or cars in which originally shipped and from which transferred. In case of less than carload shipments, such notice must show the point of origin, the character of the freight in question, the weight and amount of charges due thereon.

Notice, how served and In formation given.

Notice by mail or in person, as provided in the foregoing rule may be expressly waived by the consignee in writing under agreement duly signed to accept telephone notice of arrival, under which notice free time will be computed from seven o'cjpck a. m. of the day following the service of such notice. (File 11480.)

Over four cars in one day. Order-- notify shipments. Substan tial com pliance. Amounts th at may be charged.

If such notice be served personally upon the consignee, the period of free time within which to receive such freight and to remove the same from the custody of the delivering railroad company, shall begin at seven o'clock a. m., on the day after such notice is served, and shall continue during fortyeight hours, exclusive of Sundays, legal holidays and such hours on other days during the free period, between seven o'clock a. m. and seven o'clock p. m., as the inclemency of the weather may render the removal of the freight in question from the custody of the carrier reasonably impracticable, of which, in case of dispute the Commission shall judge.
Provided, however, that on cars of coal containing 60,000 pounds or more and loaded in cars the sides of which are three and one-half feet, or mor, high and which do not contain more than two dumps, sixty hours free time shall be allowed as above.
Where notice is served by ftiail the time allowed (as free time) shall be computed from seven o'clock a. m., of the second day after such notice has been given.
Provided, That where such notice is 'alleged to have been served by mail, and the consignee makes oath that neither he nor any of his agents nor employees has received the same, then no storage charge shall be made until legal notice has been given, as above specified.
Where one consignee receives over the lines of one railroad in one day four or more cars that take delivery, each of said cars, in excess of three shall have seventy-eight hours of free time.
Where consignors ship goods to themselves, or their order, the above prescribed written notice, duly mailed to the consignee at the point of de livery, shall be taken and held to be sufficient legal notice, whether such consignee actually receives the same or not.
Where notice is given in substantial compliance with the foregoing requirements, the consignee shall not thereafter have the right to call in question the accuracy nor sufficiency of such notice, unless, within twentyfour hours after receiving the same, he shall serve upon the delivering carrier a full written statement of his objections to the insufficiency of such notice.
RULE 3.
Subject to these rules and regulations, the maximum storage charges that may be lawfully assessed or collected by railroad companies in this State, where freight is not removed from their custody within the free time by these rules prescribed shall be:
On freight in carload lots, unloaded and stored in depots or warehouses, ten cents per ton of two thousand pounds per day, or fraction of a day.
On freight in less than carload lots, stored #in freight depots or ware houses, for each of the first five days cents per 100 lbs., and for the sixth and each succeeding day 3 cents per 100 lbs.

70

Provided, That in no case shall the amount so collected on a less than carload shipment be greater than the maximum charge on a carload of freight similarly stored for the same length of time.

RULE 4.
When a car, destined for delivery at a particular point, shall be brought within the customary switching limits of the delivering road at the point of destination designated in the bill of lading under which such shipment is carried, and is placed at a point not more than three miles distant from the freight depot of such carrier, the goods therein contained shall, within the meaning of these rules, be deemed to have arrived at destination, in so far as to impose upon the consignee the duty of giving direction for the dis position and placing of the car, upon receipt by him of legal notice of the arrival thereof.
RULE 5.

Arrival, definition of.

A car taking track delivery must be,, and remain, accessible to the consignee, for the purpose of unloading the same during the prescribed free time.
If, during free time, a car be removed, or its unloading be otherwise obstructed or prevented by the delivering railroad company, the consignee shall not be charged with the consequent delay.
If the delivering railroad company removes a car after storage begins thereon, such car shall upon demand of the consignee, be promptly made accessible for the unloading thereof.
RULE 6.

Cars must be accessi ble for un loading.

Where a consignee shall give to the delivering carrier notice of his re fusal to accept a shipment of freight properly tendered in pursuance of the bill of lading, the delivering carrier shall give to the consignor legal notice of such refusal, and if the consignor fails within three days thereafter to give direction for the disposition of such goods, he shall thenceforth become liable to such carrier for the usual storage charges, to the same extent, and at the same rate, as such charges are now, under like circumstances, by the rules of this Commission, imposed upon consignees who neglect or refuse, after notice of arrival, to remove freight of like character.
And when a consignee of freight either in carloads or less than carloads sb^ll fail or neglect to remove such freight within six days after the expira tion of free time, then the carrier shall, through the agent at point of ship ment, so notify the shipper unless the consignee has signified his acceptance of the property. Said notice may either be served personally or given by
mail.
Provided, That where such notice is alleged to have been served by mail, and the consignor makes oath that neither he nor any of his agents nor em ployees has received the same, then no storage charge shall be made until

No such notice to the consignor, however, shall be required of a carrier company where goods are shipped in less than carload lots, unless such goods, or the packages containing the same, shall legibly bear the name and address of the consignor thereof.
A consignee who has once refused to accept a consignment of goods, shall not thereafter be entitled to receive the same, except upon the pay ment of all charges for storage which would otherwise have accrued.
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 theron 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 Commission shall judge.
RULE 8.
Where loaded cars are detained at the point of consignment for want of proper shipping instructions, or by reason of improper or excessive load ing thereof by the shipper, the railroad company may collect from such shipper one dollar per car for each day or fraction of a day that such car or cars may be so delayed.
RULE 9.
Railroad companies are required to furnish cars promptly upon request therefor. When a shipper files with a railroad company application for a car or cars, stating therein the character of freight to be shipped, and its destination, such railroad company shall furnish same within four days (Sun days and legal holidays excepted) from seven o'clock a. m., of the day fol lowing the receipt of such application.

IN RE: General Revision of Rates on Billets, Logs, etc.; between points in Georgia.
ORDER OF CANCELLATION
On April 15th, 1925, the Commission issued its order effective June 1st, 1925, pre scribing maximum rates between points in Georgia on Billets, Logs, etc.; identified as Commodity Group No. 23. A large number of shippers filed protests against the rates, as being unreasonably high, discriminatory and not warranted under existing condi tions, and petitioned the Commission to suspend the effective date of its order and for a hearing.
By its order dated May 29th, 1925, the Commission suspended the effective date until August 1st, 1925, and assigned the subject for hearing July 7th, which was later changed to July 13th, 1925.
By subsequent orders the effective date of the rates authorized have been sus pended and on June 14th, 1926, they were suspended until January 1st, 1927.
The Commission is now of the opinion th at on account of the additional evidence which was submitted at the hearings of July 13th, 1925, and of the changed condi tions subsequent to April 15th, 1925, that its order of April 15th, 1925, should be can celled and the matter held for further consideration. It is therefore ;
ORDERED: That the order of the Commission dated April 15th, 1925, pre scribing maximum rates on Billets, Blocks, Bolts or Butts (handle, heading, hoop, shingle or stave) or Logs, identified as Commodity Group No. 23, be and is hereby cancelled, and the rates now in effect shall remain in effect until the further order of the Commission.

The order of the Commission being predicated upon the record made at the hearings had in September, 1921, and November, 1923.
It is alleged by a large number of shippers that conditions have changed since November, 1923, and that the rates authorized by the Commission are unreasonably high and not warranted under present conditions, and that the rates authorized also create discriminations against Georgia shippers in favor of shippers in other States and on Inter-State Traffic to and from Georgia points.
I t is therefore;

IN RE: General revision of rates on iron and steel articles carload and less carload between points within the State of Georgia.
On August 30, 1923, the Commission issued an order under Docket 15416 authoriz ing maximum rates to be charged within the State of Georgia on iron and steel articles, carload and less carload, identified as Commodity Groups 7 and 8 to become effective November 15 1923. The carriers petitioned the Commission to suspend the effective date of this order on the grounds that they would be unable to comply with Section 5 and Section 8 by November 15, 1923, due to the necessity of revising their interstate rates into Georgia that were lower than the rates authorized by the Commission. The Commission granted the carriers' petition as to the rates authorized under Commodity Group No. 7, iron and steel articles carload, and granted relief under Section 5 and Section 8 as to Commodity Group No. 8, iron and steel articles less carload, but re quired the rates authorized under Commodity Group No. 8 to be published and made effective November 15, 1923, as maximum rates.
From time to time carriers have petitioned the Commission for a further extension of the effective date of rates under Commodity Group No. 7, and at this time these rates are under suspension until January 1, 1927.
The Commission is advised by the carriers that subsequent to November 15, 1923, they have had hearings before the Southern Freight Association and Conferences with shippers' representatives with a view of re-adjusting the rates on iron and steel articles for general interstate application in Southern territory. As a result of these hearings and conferences, Chairman Barham of the Southern Freight Association submitted to the Commission on August 2, 1926, a petition for approval of:
(a) Rates on iron and steel articles taking special iron rates carload somewhat different from rates authorized by the Commission in its order dated August 30, 1923.
(b) Rates on railway track material carload. (c) To cancel all carload commodity rates on iron and steel articles which are not listed in and do not take special iron rates as per Note 95 of E. H. Dulaney's Exceptions 4 to Southern Classification I. C. C. No. 20, supplements thereto or reissues thereof and apply in lieu thereof the established class rates. (d) To cancel all less than carload commodity rates on iron and steel articles and apply in lieu thereof the established class rates.
112

Upon consideration of the record in the above stated case and the evidence and arguments submitted at the hearings had thereon, it is
ORDERED; (1) That, effective on and after January 1, 1927, (unless other wise indicated) and until the further order of this Commission, the following shall be the rules, classifications, descriptions and ratings, regulations and the maximum rates governing the movement and transportation of freight traffic, provided for in this Order, between points wholly within the State of Georgia, and to be used and applied by each of the railroads, operating within the State of Georgia, in the manner and as hereinafter directed.
ORDERED; (2) That the ratings provided for in this Order shall be applied to all Freight Tariff Class A and Freight Tariff Class B, railroads, as designated in Class Rate Order, dated February 28th, effective May 1st, 1923.
ORDERED: (3) That the specific commodity rate tables as shown iii the following pages, shall be applied as follows:
Rate Table No. 1. To single line application between points within this State, on each of the severally named railroads in Freight Tariff Class A.
Rate Tab.e No. 2. To joint line application between points within this State, located on two or more of the severally named railroads in Freight Tariff Class A.
Rate Table No. 3. To joint line application between points located within this State, located on one or more Freight Tariff Class A railroads, and one or more Freight Tariff Class B railroads. Also between points located on one or more Freight Tariff Clas A railroads, when the short line distance is constructed in connection with a Freight Tariff Class B railroad, and the rate is lower than provided for in the application of Rate Table No. 1 or No. 2. Also between points on one or more Freight Tariff Class B railroads, when the short line distance is constructed in connection with a Freight Tariff Class A Railroad, and the rate is lower than provided for in the application of Rate Tables No. 4 or No. 5.
Rate Table No. 4. To single line application between points within this State, on each of the severally named railroads in Freight Tariff Class B.
Rate Table No. 5. To joint line application between points within this State, located on one or more of the severally named railroads in Freight Tariff Class B.
ORDERED: (4) That on or before the effective date of this Order, all class and commodity rates between points within this State that are higher than the com modity rate schedules and classification ratings provided for in this Order, shall be can celled, and the commodity rate schedules and classification ratings provided in this Order, observed as a maximum.
ORDERED: (5) All carriers are authorized to cancel all class and commodity rate 3that are lower than the commodity rate schedules and classification ratings pro vided in this Order and observe as a maximum the commodity rate schedules and classification ratings authorized herein, except that in no instance shall the rates on
113

the commodities covered by this Order be higher, between any points in Georgia than the Interstate rates contemporaneously in effect on the same commodities between points in Georgia and points in other states, for the same or greater distance, over the same line or lines, the haul between the Georgia points being included in the longer
interstate haul.

ORDERED: (6) The Commission s Freight Rule No. 27 is hereby suspended, and superseded by Rate Tables 2, 3, and 5, in constructing joint line rates on the com modities covered by this order.

ORDERED: (7) The joint rates provided for herein are to be divided on the same basis as provided for in the Commission s Class Rate Order, dated February 28th, effective May 1st, 1923.

In instances where the carriers establish between any points, lower rates than authorized herein, no higher rates shall be charged at any intermediate point, without the approval of the Commission having first been obtained.

ORDERED FURTHER: That the petition to cancel all less than carload com modity rates on iron and steel articles be, and is for the present hereby denied. This part of carriers' petition will be held for further consideration by the Commission.

ORDERED FURTHER: That effective on and after January 1st, 1927, and

until the further Order of the Commission, all carriers be and are hereby authorized

to cancel all carload commodity rates on iron and steel articles which are not listed

in and do not take special iron rates, as per Note 95 of Exceptions No. 5 to Southern

Classification, Agent E. H. Dulaney's I. C. C. No. 21, supplements thereto or reissues

UNITED STATES RAILROAD ADMINISTRATION
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 Commerce Commission that in order to defray the expenses of Federal control and operation fairly chargeable to railway operating expenses, and also to pay railway tax accruals other than war taxes, net rents for joint facilities and equipment, and compensation to the carriers operating as a unit, it is necessary to increase the railway operating revenues, and
Whereas the public interest requires that a general advance in all freight rates, passenger fares, and baggage charges on all traffic carried by all railroad and steamship lines taken under Federal control under an act of Congress approved August 29, 1916, entitled "An act making appropriations for the support of the Army for the fiscal year ending June thirtieth, nineteen hundred and seventeen, and for other pur poses, shall be made by initiating the necessary rates, fares, charges, classifications, regulations, and practices by filing the same with the Interstate Commerce Commis sion under authority of an act of Congress approved March 21, 1918, entitled "An act to provide for the operation of transportation systems while under Federal con trol, 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 char ges, including changes heretofore published but not yet effective, on all traffic carried by all said railroad and steamship lines under Federal control, whether the same be car ried 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 m 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.

There has been filed with the Commission stenographic reports of the evidence before the Interstate Commerce Commission and copies of its report and or der in the matter. A member of this Commission attended the hearings by the Inter state Commission and has reported thereon to this Commission.
This Commission is satisfied from the record, that because of increased costs of operations arising out of advances in wages and in the prices of materials, supplies
140

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 op erating income, equal as nearly as may be to six per cent, per annum on the aggre gate value of the railway property of such carriers held for and used in transportation service, operating revenues in excess of those produced by existing rates, fares and charges, must be provided.
It is also convinced that there is immediate need of such additional revenues in order that more efficient transportation services may be afforded to the public at the earliest possible date. The reasons requiring increases in rates applying on interstate traffic seemingly require similar treatment of the rates on intrastate traffic.
Upon consideration therefore of the original and supplemental applications and of the record and exhibits 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 ncreased as indicated below, to wit:
F reight Rates and Charges.
All freight rates and charges, switching charges, and charges for transit, weigh ing, diversion, reconsignment, lighterage, floatage, storage (not including track storage) and transfer (where carriers provide separate charges against shippers for such ser vices) may be increased twenty-five (25%) per cent, except as to brick, cotton and cotton linters, the rates on which shall continue as now.
A n d except, the minimum charge of fifty cents on less than carload shipments, and the minimum charge of fifteen dollars per car on carload shipments, which shall remain as now.
Passenger Fares, E xcess B aggage Charges, E tc.
1. A ll passenger ja re s and charges may be increased twenty (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 occasions; commuta tion and other multiple forms of tickets; extra fares on limited trains; club car charges.
2. E xcess baggage rates may be increased twenty (20%) per cent., provided that where stated as a percentage of or dependent upon passenger fares the increase in the latter will automatically effect the increase in the excess baggage rates.
3. A surcharge upon passengers in sleeping and parlor cars may be made amount ing 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.
141

M ilk and C ream Charges.

Milk and Cream are usually carried on passenger trains, and the revenue there from is not included in freight revenue. Rates on these commodities may be increas ed twenty (20%) per cent.

D isposition 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 Fare Exceptions.

The increase of twenty per cent, in passenger fares, as provided in Paragraph One (1) above, shall not apply on roads in "Special Group of this Commissions Pas senger 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 Septembr 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 precludes this Commission of its own initiative or upon complaint, from consideration and such action as to it seems reasonable and just, touching any classification, rate, fare, charge, rule or reg ulation relating to, controlling or affecting Georgia intrastate freight or passenger traffic.

Atlanta, May 9th, 1922. File No. 15015.

IN RE: Application of all Steam Railroad in Georgia for authority 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 Commis sion in respect to interstate rates, fares and charges of carriers operating in Southern Group, as defined and set forth by the Interstate Commerce Commis sion 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 railroads to in-
142

crease 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 au thorizing all Steam Railroads subject to the jurisdiction of this Commission to> in crease all freight rates and charges on intrastate traffic twenty-five (25%) per cent., except as to brick, cotton and cotton linters," the rates on which were to remain as on that date;
And whereas, the said railroads thereafter petitioned the Interstate Commerce 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 interstate 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 Commission un justly 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 Commission as to intra state 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 con tinue as now," so that 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 ap plication 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 lin ters;

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 7 4 , and held valid under the Federal Transportation Act of 1920, as construed by the Supreme 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 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 brick, less carload, weighing 500 pounds, from Savannah to Tennille, Ga. Tennille being on the line of the Central of Georgia, we turn to the distance tables of that comPany> page 208, where the distance from Savannah to Tennille is shown to be 135 miles. Turning to page 153, a classified list of railroads in Georgia is found, the Central being in Class C; and on the opposite page, 154, 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 178 (arranged in alpha betical order), and under the head of B" it will be seen that brick, less carload is in Class G. Turn to the Standard Tariff, page 163, 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 second column (this being the 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 this class; and 25 per cent, of 9 cents being 2J^ cents, we find by adding the 9 and 2J^ together, that the maximum rate is 11y i cents per 100 pounds after dis posing of fractions according to Freight Rule No. 8 . To this 1 1 cents should be added the increases as per General Order No. 28 and ex parte 7 4 and then reduced 10% as of July 1st, 1922.
Direction to Agents Regarding the Construction of Joint Rates.
Freight Rule No. 27 provides that the maximum charge on a shipment which moves between two points, both located in the State of Georgia, but not located on the same road, shall be 90 per cent, of the local rate allowed to be charged by each road handling the freight.
To illustrate, on a shipment of freight, taking Class "G ," 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 Class "G " Fairburn to Atlanta, from this deduct 10 per cent., to this add the Georgia R. R. rate from Atlanta to Covington ess 10 per cent., account joint shipment, which represents Georgia R. R. proportion for hauling joint through shipments from Fairburn to Covington.
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 153 and on page 154 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
155

febore the deduction of 1 0 per cent, in arriving at joint or through rates. See instruc tions; above for arriving at present Standard Rate.

,,ja

1

e RULE 2.

It shall be the duty of any express company operating in this State to t
accept for carriage any goods, the transportation of which by said com- E pany is reasonably safe and practicable, and to transport the same by the o
first train practicable.

Shipper must be requested to place his name and address on all pack f ages of first-class matter; and in the event of his declination so to do, charges
must be prepaid.

A receipt of the form prescribed by the Commission must be given for

all matter received. Shippers must be requested to state nature of ^the ship a ment and declare the value thereof, which value, when given, must be insert t ed in the receipt and marked on the package. In the event shipper declines

to declare the value, the express company is to stamp or write in ink on the

receipt, "Value asked, but not given," or words to that effect.

e

ii

RULE 3.

r

i: Whenever a shipper tenders to any express company a shipment for d transportation between points within this State and gives such company

routing instructions, it shall be the duty of said express company to receive

such shipments and forward according to instructions given, provided there

is such an established route and transfer points operated in connection there

with.

r

c

RULE 4.

t

Each express company shall keep conspicuously posted at all of its A stations, offices and agencies in Georgia, a copy of all publications showing S the classification, rates and rules, fixed for express companies, with such s

explanations as are necessary for a full understanding of the same. When

any change is made in such publication of rates, rules or classifications, either c by such company voluntarily, or pursuant to an order of the Commission, c such company shall immediately furnish a copy of the change to the office

of the Commission, and shall also post copies thereof, in the same manner t as above specified, as notice to the public that said change has been made.

No advance in any rate, whether it be a maximum rate or otherwise, shall be made without the consent of the Commission first being obtained; nor shall such advance become effective until ten days thereafter; and no reduction in any rate shall become effective until three days after notice has been given, as above required.

228

RULE 5.
Provided, a lower charge is made thereby, two or more packages for warded by one shipper at the same time upon one receipt, to one consignee at one local address, must be charged for on the aggregate weight, as if in one package, provided, however, that when such shipments average less than 10 pounds per package, charges shall be assessed on basis of 10 pounds for each package.
Example: When the total weight of the several packages divided by the number of packages gives a quotient less than 10, charge on basis of 10 pounds for each package. If the quotient so obtained is 10 or over, charge on basis of total actual weight.
Shipments of different classes aggregating as above shall be charged for at the highest rate applicable to any article in the shipment.

Aggregating weights.

RULE 6.
Unless otherwise specially provided, charges must be based upon the actual gross weight of each shipment at the time it is received for transpor tation.
When the volume of traffic is so large as to make it impossible to weigh each separate package without delaying the forwarding, estimated weights may be used for shipments of articles of food, provided they closely approxi mate the actual weight; such estimated weights will be arrived at by weigh ing a number of packages of the same size and containing the same commo dity, the average weight to be adopted as the estimated weight.

Weights.

RULE 7.

The rates governed by this Classification are based upon a value of not exceeding $50.00 on each shipment of 100 pounds, or less, and not ex ceeding 50 cents per pound, actual weight, on each shipment weighing more than 100 pounds, and the liability of the express company is limited to the value above stated unless a greater value is declared at time of shipment, and the declared value in excess of the value above specified is paid for, or agreed to be paid for, under the schedule of charges for excess value.

Valuation charges.

When the value declared by the shipper exceeds the value of $50.00 on a shipment weighing 100 pounds or less, or exceeds. 50 cents per pound on a shipment weighing more than 100 pounds, the charge therefor will be at the rate of 10 cents on each $100.00 of such excess value or for any frac tion of $100.00. The amount of any C. O. D. bill for collection from a con signee shall be considered a declaration of the value of the shipment, unless a greater value is declared.

These rates apply only to shipments of merchandise, jewelry and valu

able papers.

Whereas, under date of July 31, 1914, the Railroad Commission of Georgia, issued the following order:
"Whereas, under date of June 9, 1914, the Railroad Commission of Georgia adopted an order in reference to a revision of express rates on traffic moving within the State of Georgia, in which it was among other things ordered as follows, to wit:
" 'Ordered further : That all express companies operating in this State be, and they are hereby notified, authorized and required to make the above rate, rules, classification, etc., effective August 1, 1914, and no advance in rates, or change in rule or classification, etc., which has the effect of with drawing any privilege of facility granted hereby, shall be made, without the express authorization and approval of the Railroad Commission of Geor gia.
Ordered further : That within thirty days from the date hereof, all express companies operating in this State, are commanded and required to file with this Commission a full and complete set of tariffs applying from each block and sub-block in the State of Georgia, with the classification applicable thereto, and all of the tariffs containing the rules, regulations and rates construed in conformity with the foregoing order.
Ordered further: That effective August 1, 1914, all rules, rates and regulations in conflict with the above shall be, and the same are hereby re pealed.'
And whereas, the Southern Express Company has filed with the Com mission a tariff of rates purporting to be in accordance with said order of the Commission to be effective August 1, 1914, and
Whereas, a superficial examination of said tariffs by the Rate Expert of the Commission indicates that there are carried within the same rates not construed in accordance with the said order of the Commission and therefore necessitating further examination and study of the same, it is now
Ordered: That the said tariffs filed by the Southern Express Com pany, described as Georgia Railroad Commission 1 to 32 inclusive, and proposed to be effective August 1, 1914, be and the same are hereby dis approved.
Ordered further: That the present schedules of rates of the Southern Express Company now in effct in this State on intra-state traffic, and all express rules and regulations now in effect in this State, be and the same shall remain and continue in force and effect, until the further Order of this Commission."
237

And, whereas, since the promulgation of said order, dated July 31, 1914, the Commission has given further examination and consideration to the intrastate tariffs filed by the express companies and suspended by this order, and

Whereas, there appears to have been a misunderstanding on the part
of the compilers as to some of the bases for constructing express rates under
the original orders of June 9, 1914, and some other errors in the tariff as filed, it is now

Ordered: That new tariffs be filed under said order of June 9, 1914,
to become effective on or before September 15, 1914, said order being a-
mended, so that the sub-block basis of rates on intrastate traffic shall be as follows:

1 Sub-block haul Scale 0 or 50c per 100 lbs.

The sub-block area to extend over each main block that

on any side or corner a main block or origin. The effect to be that each

sub-block area is to cover 9 main blocks, i. e.: the main block of origin and

the 8 main blocks surrounding the main block of origin.

Ordered further: That in the construction of main block rates, in no
case shall the rates show a progression in excess of that affecting one main block.

Order further: That in constructing rates between two points, trans portation between which is circuitous, occasioned by point of origin and point of destination being located on parallel lines of railroad, with no con necting cross country lines, the sub-block rates between the point of origin and point of destination shall be not less than the rates to any intermediate sub-block passed through in transit.

Ordered further: That the following points in Georgia shall be relocated in sub-blocks as follows:

Auburn, Ga. 1 .

ANNUAL REPORT
LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL
Atlanta, Ga., May 1, 1928.
To His E xcellency, G overnor L. G. H ardman:
The Georgia Public Service Commission submits here with its Fifty-fifth Report, as required by law, covering the business and transactions of the Commission for the year ending December 31st, 1927.
Reference has been made in previous reports to Bills pend ing in Congress to restore to the State Commissions authority to make and control intrastate rates, as formerly held under the principles laid down in what is known as the Shreveport Case. No definite action along this fine has yet been taken by Congress, but indications are that legislation will be perfected along this fine during the present session of Congress.
Since our last report, the Commission has handled a large number of rate adjustments of carriers and local utilities. Among the more important of these cases, are as follows.
RAILROAD RATES.
The Commission has completed a general investigation of the rates on naval stores, and now has under consideration this subject, and will in due course issue a final order revising the rates on naval stores between points m Georgia. I e purpose of this revision is to remove such discriminations as exist, and to place all shipping points on a parity, and also to remove, as far as is in the power of the Commission, discrim inations against Georgia shippers in favor of shippers in other states.
The railroads in Georgia filed a complaint with the Inter state Commerce .Commission against the rates on common brick between points in Georgia prescribed by this Commission, it being claimed that the rates on common brick for distances above 150 miles discriminate against interstate commerce. We participated in the hearings, defending the rates which we prescribed, but the matter has not yet been disposed ot by the Federal Commission.
1

Oii complain of saw mill interests in south Georgia, located on the rlorida border, this Commission filed a complaint with the Interstate Commerce Commission regarding the rates on logs from points in Florida to points in Georgia as being un reasonably high and discriminatory, due to much lower rates prevailing within the state of Florida. At the hearing before the Interstate Commerce Commission we submitted evidence to show that it was impracticable for the Georgia saw mill operator to purchase Florida logs in competition with the blonda saw mill operator. The Interstate Commerce Com mission will very probably dispose of this proceeding at an early date.
In November, 1926, this Commission revised the rates on cotton seed, and at the instance of the shippers, provided such rates as would enable the cotton seed oil mills to draw cotton seed from a greater distance than was possible at that time. Ihere is now pending before this Commission a petition from the shippers to make a further revision of the cotton seed rates, to the end that the rates for shorter distances may be lower and me rates for the longer distances may be higher. There is also a complaint pending before the Interstate Commerce Commis sion against the Georgia rates, in which it is claimed that the present Georgia rates are so low as to cause discrimination against interstate commerce. As a result of this and other complamts, the Interstate Commerce Commission is now ipakmg a general investigation of all rates, inter and intra state throughout Southern and Western territory on cotton seed and cotton seed products. This investigation is tfeing conducted under the co-operative plan, and a committee of Southern otate Commissioners is co-operating with the Inter state Commerce Commission. A representative of this Com mission is co-operating with the Interstate Commerce Com mission on the State Committee.
11 P n comP ^ nt fikd by the cotton growers' associations of all the cotton growing states, together with other complaints, the Interstate Commerce Commission is now conducting a gen eral investigation of all rates on cotton throughout the United States. It is alleged in some of these complaints that the ex isting rates in Georgia and other cotton growing states dis criminate against interstate commerce, and in view of the State rates being involved, the investigation is being conducted under the co-operative plan, and a representative of this Com mission is on a committee of Southern State Commissioners co-operating with the Interstate Commerce Commission.
Effective July 1st, 1927, the Commission made a complete revision of all rates on fertilizer and fertilizer material, both
2

carload and less than carload. This revision was made as a result of a general revision of all interstate rates made by the Interstate Commerce Commission, and the revision which we have made had the effect of removing all discriminations and placing all shippersand receivers on a parity. The revised rates represent both increases and decreases.
Effective January 15th, 1928, the Commission made a complete revision of all class rates between points m Georgia. The purpose of this revision was to bring the Georgia rates m line with rates prescribed by the Interstate Commerce Com mission for interstate application throughout Southern terri tory, and to remove any discriminations that would have oc curred against the Georgia shipper as the result of the inter state adjustment. The rates prescribed by the Interstate Com merce Commission were the result of an investigation lasting over a period of approximately four years, this investigation being conducted under the co-operative plan, and a representa tive of our Commission served as a member of the committee of State Commissioners co-operating with the Interstate Com
merce Commission.
On April 17th, 1928, we passed an order to become effective June 1st, 1928, prescribing maximum rates on cement, carload. This revision is a part of the general revision of all rates in Geor gia which the Commission has had under consideration for sonae time. Subsequent to the time that our investigation was started, various complaints were filed with the Interstate Commerce Commission with regard to the inter and intrastate rates, which resulted in a general investigation being made by the Federal Commission, and this investigation was Conducted under the co-operative plan with a committee representing the Southern State Commissions. Following the order of the Interstate Com mission, the carriers filed a petition with our Commission for approval of the rates which had been ordered by the Interstate Commerce Commission. The order of the Interstate Commerce Commission prescribed rates predicated on a carload minimum weight of 50,000 pounds, but our investigation developed that it would be impracticable at all times for the building material merchants in the smaller communities to use a car of 50,000 pounds, and therefore, in revising our rates we prescribed rates subject to a 50,000 pound minimum, and also rates subject to a minimum car weight of 30,000 pounds. Carriers have taken exceptions to the order, and have filed petition for a rehearing, particularly as to the rates prescribed for the 30,000 pound minimum, which is now pending before the Commission. .
In April, 1925, the Commission revised the rates on sand, gravel and crushed stone, for the purpose of removing any discriminations that existed between points in Georgia, as well
3

as on interstate traffic moving into Georgia. Some of the Georgia carriers as well as shippers in Alabama, Tennessee and South Carolina, filed formal complaints with the Interstate Commerce Commission, alleging that the rates which we had prescribed were too low and created discrimination against interstate commerce. We defended our rates before the Inter state Commerce Commission in its Docket 17517, and as a result of the investigation, the Interstate Commerce Commission issued an order revising the interstate rates, and while they did not find that our rates discriminated against interstate com merce, they stated there was no reason why the intrastate rates in Georgia should not be on somewhat the same level as the interstate rates. The carriers filed a petition with our Com mission for approval of the interstate rates, but our investigaf-lon developed that to adopt the interstate rates for intrastate application would create discrimination against our Georgia producers of these materials, and therefore, effective May 1st, 1928, we passed an order, making another revision of the Geor gia rates for the purpose of bringing the rates in line with the interstate rates, but the rates prescribed are such as to pre vent discrimination. The carriers have filed another com plaint with the Interstate Commerce Commission against our present rates, and the matter will very probably be heard at an early date.
During the past year a representative of our Commission has been co-operating with the Interstate Commerce Commis sion^ in a general investigation of the rates for refrigeration service on fruits and vegetables from all Southern territory to all points in the United States. The investigation is not yet complete, and it will probably be another year before the matter is brought to a conclusion.
. During the past year our Commission has been co-operat ing with the Interstate Commerce Commission in a general investigation of all rates on lumber and other forest products between points in the South and from points in the South to points in the North and East. Hearings have been conducted in various sections of the South, and this case will very likely be disposed of during the current year.
During the past year a representative of our Commission has co-operated with the Interstate Commerce Commission in a general investigation of all rates on petroleum and petroleum products, including the rates on gasoline. This investigation resulted from various complaints being filed by interstate shippers, some of whom alleged that the present rates in Geor gia are unduly low and discriminate against interstate com merce. The record in this case has been closed, and the matter
4

is now under consideration by the In terstate Commerce C om m ission and should be disposed of during the current year.

O n M ay 8th, 1928, the Com m ission passed an order, effec

tive Tune 15th, 1928, prescribing rates on road-building m a

terial, consisting of a m ixture of sand, gravel, crushed stone or

slag, and asphalt, oil and lime. A t th e present tim e there are

no rates th a t m ay properly be applied to this m ixture, and it

was stated by com plainants a t the hearing it was their desire

to have rates prescribed as it is their purpose to establish one or

more plants in the S tate for the production of this m aterial.

O ur inform ation is this m ixture can be shipped from a central

producing plant, direct to the project and laid direct on the

highway, w ithout the necessity of laying any other m aterial

as a base, and will provide a hard surfaced road a t m uc e

cost than under present conditions.

Recently the In terstate Com m erce Commission in its

D ocket 13535, et cetera, issued an order revising all rates be

tw een Southern points and Southw estern points, also irom

N orthern and E astern points and Southw estern points,

analysis of the rates prescribed by the In terstate Commerce

Commission reveals the fact th a t rates on com m odities pro

duced and m anufactured in Georgia and other pom s m e

South to points in the Southw est, w est of the M ississippi ve *

are on a higher level th an rates on these sam e produc ro

N orthern and E astern territory, w ith w hich the _u er

m anufacturer and producer has to com pete. A mee m g w

called of the Southeastern Association of R ailw ay and U tilities

Commissioners, and a com m ittee appointed to investigate

the order of the In terstate Com m erce Commission, a repre

sentative of our Com m ission serving on this com m ittee,

result, we have filed a petitio n w ith th e In te rsta te Com m erce

Commission for a reopening and rehearing of its D oc e



it being our contention th a t the m anufacturers and pro u

in G eorgia should not be placed a t a disadvantage m e

of rates as com pared w ith their com petitors in the or

East

D uring the past year the Interstate Commerce Com m is sion conducted a general investigation of th e rates on Peac. fro m G eo rg ia, S o u th C a ro lin a a n d N o r th C aro lin a o P1. in N orth ern and E astern territory, this investigation being conducted under the co-operative plan, and a m em ber ol ou Commission serving on the state co-operative commi e T he In terstate Commerce Commission has issued an order this case, b u t the rates prescribed are not satisfactory to e G eorgia shippers, and therefore, petitio n has been filed tor a re hearing of the rates from Georgia, and the m atter has een assigned for argum ent before the In terstate Com m erce om

m ission.

* During the past year the Interstate Commerce Commis sion has made a complete revision of all interstate rates on sugar between points in Southern territory and also the rates from
I\ew York, Philadelphia and Baltimore to points in Southern territory. The rates prescribed by the Interstate Commerce
Commission provide a lower level of rates from Baltimore to points in North and South Carolina than the rates they pre-
scnbed from Savannah, Ga., to the same destinations, thus
avannah at a great disadvantage with its competitors at Baltimore. The Southern carriers and the Savannah Sugar
Kehnery have petitioned the Interstate Commerce Commission tor a rehearing as to the Baltimore-Carolina situation, and our Commission has also petitioned the Interstate Commence Commission in support of these petitions, it being our purpose to put forth every effort to protect the interests of our Georgia industries.

EXPRESS RATES.

During the past year it was brought to the attention of

our Commission that creameries in south Georgia were unable

to secure sufficient amount of milk and cream for their opera-

V Cir

vichdty* and it would be necessary

that they be enabled to reach out for greater distances for their

supplies. As a result of these complaints, we have approved

express rates on milk and cream for distances up to 250 miles

which enables a free movement of these commodities and our

industir^1011 1S> ^aVe proven verY beneficial to this important

This is the only adjustment of importance of express rates during this year, as reference was made in our 1927 report to the gnrai revision of all class and commodity express rates throughout the State.

UTILITY RATES.
r ,,^ ur| n> ,e past year we have made a complete revision of the wholesale industrial electric power rates of the AugustaAiken Railway & Electric Corporation, for the purpose of pro viding reasonable power rates for communities served by this Company, other than Augusta. This Company has been carry ing on a program of extension for the past few years, and at this
tli?ei,1SuSeiT1rg se1veral counties in northeast Georgia, some of which heretofore have not been provided with electric service, lh e power rates which we have prescribed enables all the towns served by this Company to attract industries of all classes using
Augusta^0^ 1* anC* n a Par^ty w^b the industries located at

6

For the past few years we have been making some investiga tions as to the need and possibility of furnishing electricity for light and power to rural sections, and as a result oi these investigations have provided rates and rules for service for these rural sections that can be served by all of the major electric companies in the State. Many of the rural sections have availed themselves of this service for both light and power.
On petition filed by the Georgia Power Company we have revised the street car fares of this company at Atlanta, increas ing the cash fare from 7 cents to 10 cents, and the ticket fare from 3 for 20 cents to 4 for 30 cents. The zone fares on the Oglethorpe University line have also been revised proportion ately. The revision of fares authorized provides that the com pany shall sell tickets for students and school children at the rate of 20 for $1.00, which apparently has proven very satis factory to the car riders of Atlanta.
By way of explanation, somewhat, calling for the neces sity of providing additional revenue for the railway depart ment of the Georgia Power Company, we quote as follows
from an opinion in said case:
"As shown by the record in this case, and which is common knowledge to most of the patrons of the street railroad in At lanta and adjacent territory, this company operates under con ditions which prevail in comparatively few cities througho the country. The physical values of the street railroad prop erty include approximately $4,000,000.00 for paving the streets traversed by the various lines of applicant, which is required under franchises. It is also shown from the record that the company is required to pay to the City of Atlanta a Gro Receipt Tax of 3% of all revenues taken in. As a result of this street paving cost, there is charged to Operating Expenses approximately $100,000.00 for Depreciation, and there is in cluded in the return resulting from the rates approved herein, $280,000.00, or a total of $380,000.00, which must be paid by the car riders on account of this street paving cost. As a result of the 3% Gross Receipt Tax, there is to be charged to expenses approximately $180,000.00. In other words, there is to be added to (Operating Expenses, which results in a deduction from the net income, $560,000.00 per annum, due to the paving charges and Gross Receipt Tax. These necessary charges to Operating Expenses are conditions over which the Commission has no control, but at the same time it is obviously necessary that consideration be given to these items of operating cost, m determining such a rate of fare as is necessary under conditions
enumerated herein.
7

Another unusual condition, and one which is beyond the control of this Commission, is the five cent contract fare on the mam Decatur line The total earnings of the Street Rail way Department for the year 1926 were $5,278,794.84. If the ^ve cent fare which prevails on the main Decatur line had been J e cc on all lines of the company, the gross earnings would & L b" " ,795,062.05. The total operating expfnses al
Commissions Auditor, for the year 1926 were $4,527,514.74 and therefore, if the fare enjoyed by the patrons on the mam Decatur hne had been in effect on afi lines of the
i o 2^ comPa?y would have failed in the amount * 33,452.69 to take sufficient revenue to pay actual operatmg expenses. As previously stated, the net income iff the street Railway Department for the year 1926 was 3.8% on a value of $20,000,000.00, and it therefore follows that while this return is not reasonable, the entire amount was paid by patrons
e s reet railroad, other than those who patronize the main Decatur hne on a five cent fare; and it follows further that the patrons of the mam Decatur line at a five cent fare are not paying the actual cost of the service. As above stated, these conclusions are based on the facts as revealed by the Com mission s Auditor s report."

_

TELEPHONE RATES

The Commission has made revision of telephone rates

lor several of the smaller independent companies, but no general

revision of rates for the larger companies has been made,. except

a general revision of the toll rates which provides for reduced

rates for station to station night calls, and also provides.for re

verse calls on this class of service. A revision of the toll rates

has resulted in greatly improved service at reasonable rates

for the subscribers, and reports indicate has proven very satis

factory to both the telephone companies and the subscribers.

MOTOR BUS REGULATION, mce the last annual report, the Commission has given cornu eration to the regulation of motor busses on and over the g ways in the State of Georgia. Tentative rules were sub mitted hearing on which was had, providing for the regula tion of rates mid service for such transportation. The jurisic on of the Commission has been questioned, and by proper
Pp<^:ee<^1^ 's' fms question is now before the Supreme Court or Deorgia.

tt j WESTERN & ATLANTIC RAILROAD. Under the Act of 1915, leasing the State's railroad property, supervision of this property and the properties under lease in the
t^1Vi c Chattanooga, Tennessee, are placed under the Georgia .rubric Service Commission.

8

Based on a personal inspection of the Western & Atlantic Railroad on the part of the Commission and its engineer, ogether with a more minute inspection by Mr. Johnston, the Commission's engineer, some weeks ago, it is the opinion o e Commission that the road-bed is in the best condition a a n y time in its history. Beyond question, the requirement oi the lease act that the road shall be kept in as good condition, a least equal to that of first-class railroads within the btate ot Georgia, is being fully complied with.
There is about 55 miles of 110-pound rail now in use, five miles of which was laid during the last twelve months and an additional seven miles will be completed within the next twe ye months. This heavy rail is in use all the way from Atlanta to Cartersville where the heaviest traffic is handled, due to t e connection with the Louisville & Nashville Railroad at Cartersville. The remainder of the line is laid with 90-pound rail. In a comparatively short time, the entire road will be laid with
110-pound rail.
The net additions and betterments to December 31, 1927, amounts to $1,697,443.07. Considering that under the lease, three million dollars is required to be expended for this account and since only eight years of the fifty years have elapsed, it will readily be seen the manner in which the lessee is caring tor
the road.
Quite an interesting improvement is under construction at Tunnel Hill. A new tunnel, some 75 feet distant from the old tunnel, is now in course of construction, and it is expected will be complete for use in October of this year. For years the old tunnel has been, on account of size, inadequate to take care of quite a bit of competitive freight, as well as some of the equip ment of the lessee, and of course, the new tunnel is amp y sufficient to take care of any movement that jay be desired. This new tunnel will cost approximately $500,000.00 complete,
ready for use.
It is only fair to say that the physical condition of the State s road-bed and structures is maintained m fully as good condition as the Nashville, Chattanooga & St. Louis Railway s own road-bed between Chattanooga and Nashville. ^
As is common knowledge at this time, the work in connec tion with constructing viaducts over the State s proper y a Pryor Street and Central Avenue at Atlanta is well under way, and has made it necessary to temporarily abandon passenger service at the Union Station on the State s property in Atlanta.
Since the beginning of the w ork in connection w ith the
viaducts, consideration has been given by the lessee ot the
S ta te 's ro a d to m a k in g p e rm a n e n t a rra n g e m e n ts for ren d erin g
9

passenger service at the Terminal Station in Atlanta. Nothing a!*1tt^6* o co"le .^ ^ is, an<^ the question of improvements at the Union Station is now under consideration. Notice has been given to the lessee that any change, removing permanently passenger service from the Union Station will first have to meet with the approval of the Commission, as well as any plan look ing to a changed condition at the Union Station.
RECOMMENDATIONS ^he law requires the Commission to recommend from time to time, such legislation as in its opinion is desirable. As above noted, the jurisdiction of the Commission, in an extort to regulate transportation on the highways in Georgia is now before the Supreme Court. While there is no doubt but that the Commission has limited jurisdiction over thi subject, it nevertheless remains of vital importance that the next Legislature perfect proper legislation controlling trans portation over the highways in Georgia. There are some four or five states, including Georgia, that have not provided proper legislation for this method of transportation; many states have had such legislation for the past fifteen years, and with absolute satisfaction to the motor vehicle transportation interests, as well as the citizens of the states.
