ANNUAL REPORT
LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL.
To His E xcellency, Governor E ugene T almadge:
The Georgia Public Service Commission subm its herewith its 60th Report as re quired by law covering business and transactions of the Commission for the year ending Decem ber 31, 1932.
RAILROAD RATES.
Reference was made in our last report to the general investigation of the Interstate Commerce Commission of rates on cottonseed and cottonseed products, including cotton seed meal, hulls, oil and linters throughout Southern territory, and from Southern terri tory to N orthern, Eastern and W estern territory, and which also included the Georgia intrastate rates. This investigation was conducted under the cooperative plan between the state commissions and the In terstate Commerce Commission, and a representative of our Commission served on a committee representing the Southeastern states.
W ithin the past few days the Interstate Commerce Commission issued a final order prescribing a complete revision of rates on thse commodities which if made effective in our opinion will result in general increases. The rates prescribed for intraterritorial ap plication in Southern territory and also the principles followed by the In terstate Com merce Commission in constructing the interterritorial rates are not in accord w ith the views expressed by the representative of our Commission or the committee representing the Southern state commissions and it is our opinion th a t if the rates prescribed by the Interstate Commerce Commission are made effective by the carriers the readjustm ent will not result in increased revenues ti> th e carriers b u t perhaps decreased revenues, p a r ticularly on short haul traffic; th a t is, for distances u n d er 100 miles, an d also on th e move m ent of cottonseed oil, which in our opinion will be diverted to th e w ater routes b y p ri vately owned tank steamers. The carriers have not. yet filed petition w ith our Com mission for approval of the interstate rates for Georgia intrastate application b u t very probably will do so a t an early date.
In previous reports we have referred to the rates on sand, gravel, crushed stone, etc., which have been in litigation before the Interstate Commerce Commission and the U nited S tates C ourts since 1926. The order o f o u r Commission in 1925 h ad th e effect of equalizing all Georgia shippers according to distance and perm itted the free movemen t of this traffic throughout the state, also had the effect of removing discrim inations in favor of interstate shippers th at had existed for m any years. The order of our Com mission was complained of before the Interstate Commerce Commission by shippers in Alabama and Tennessee and also some of the Georgia carriers, on the grounds th a t the rates were too low and worked unjust discrim ination against interstate commerce. In 1926 th e In te rsta te Commerce Commission investigated th e com plaints and found th a t the rates prescribed by our Commission did not at th a t tim e discrim inate against inter state commerce. However, instead of dismissing the complaints the Interstate Com-
1

merce Commission prescribed a schedule of interstate rates which had the effect of forc ing the Georgia rates to discriminate against interstate commerce. Following the order of the Interstate Commerce Commission our Commission made another revision of the Georgia rates for the purpose of conforming to the interstate rates and to remove the discrimination which had been created by the order of the Interstate Commerce Com mission, b u t the rates which we prescribed were constructed under a different principle from th a t em ployed by th e In te rsta te Commerce Commission, th e Georgia rates being so constructed th a t all shippers would pay alike according to distance, whether over one or more lines of railroad. Following this order of our Commission the Interstate Com merce Commission conducted another investigation which was followed by an order re quiring the railroads to disregard the rates fixed by our Commission as provided for in Section 13 of th e In te rsta te Commerce A ct. T his order was resisted b y o u r Commission through the courts, bu t the United States Supreme Court finally held th a t the order of the Interstate Commerce Commission was not unlawful. The Interstate Commerce Commission has again reopened the m atter and it is now pending before th a t body and will very probably be disposed of during the current year.
We have previously referred to the order of the Interstate Commerce Commission revising the rates on classes and commodities from Georgia and other Southern territory to territory west of the Mississippi river, known as Southwestern territory, the order of the Interstate Commerce Commission having the effect of destroying the relationship between Georgia shipping points and shipping points in N orthern and Eastern territory which has existed for m any years. The Interstate Commerce Commission has con cluded the hearings in the reopened proceedings in this case and it is probable th a t a final order will be issued a t an early date and we hope will give relief to our shippers who are now being deprived of a large am ount of business in W estern territory on account of being unable to meet N orthern and Eastern competition.
Subsequent to our last report our Commission has handled a large num ber of peti tions of the railroads dealing w ith rates on intrastate traffic and has also participated in cases before the Interstate Commerce Commission in the m atter of interstate rates on im portant commodities moving between points in Georgia and points in other states. Some of the more im portant cases are the rates on cotton clothing, including overalls, jumpers, work shirts, etc., which our Commission has revised on Georgia intrastate traffic, resulting in a reduction of approximately 35% and at the same time placing the Georgia m anufacturer of these articles on a relative competitive basis w ith his interstate competitor. O ur Commission has also removed the so-called emergency charge on fer tilizer, fertilizer material, including cottonseed meal, of approximately 2 0 1per ton on Geor gia in tra sta te traffic. W e harve also directed a R ule N isi to all Georgia carriers to show cause why the class rates between points in Georgia should not be reduced. This m atter is now assigned for hearing January 10th.
The general railroad rate situation throughout the country continues in a very chaotic condition, due largely to competition w ith other forms of transportation, par ticularly the unregulated w ater transportation and m otor carriers, and w ith the view of meeting this competitive situation our Commission has approved very m aterial reduc tions in rates on sugar, petroleum, cotton, cottonseed, cross ties, peanuts and other com modities. The rates on cotton and cottonseed in some instances have been reduced more than 50%, but our studies show th a t the result has been favorable and has returned to the rail carriers a large volume of traffic.

Our Commission is now participating in cases before the In terstate Commerce Com mission involving the rates on watermelons from Georgia shipping points to N orthern and Eastern territory which were referred to in our previous report. The rates which the carriers attem pted to make effective and which we succeeded in having suspended would result in increases of $10 to $40 per car. This case has not yet been finally disposed of by the Interstate Commerce Commission b u t probably will be before the next watermelon shipping season. We are participating in an investigation of rates on coal from Alabama, Tennessee, K entucky and Virginia mines to Georgia destinations. The proposed rates in this case would result in increases in the am ount of approxim ately $600,000 per annum, b u t our petition before the Interstate Commerce Commission to suspend these proposed rates was granted. This case very probably will be disposed of w ithin the
next few months.

We are also participating in an investigation before the In terstate Commerce Com mission of the rates on cotton factory products from Southern shipping points, including Georgia, to N orthern, E aste rn an d W esterp territo ry , an d every effort is being m ade to the end th a t the cotton mills in Georgia m ay continue on a fairly competitive basis w ith the N orthern and E astern mills on products shipped into the N orthern and W estern
territory.

The In te rsta te Commerce Commission is conducting a general investigation of the

rates on stone and marble between points in Southern territory, including the intrastate

rates in Georgia, also from Georgia to N orthern, E astern and W estern territory. For

many years the quarries in Georgia have been on a fairly competitive basis w ith the

quarries in N orthern and Eastern territory and every effort is being p u t forth to con

tinue this relationship.

EXPRESS RATES.

Subsequent to our last report there has been no general revision of all express rates. However, our Commission has approved reduced express rates on a large num ber of com modities throughout the state for distances under 250 miles, for the purpose of meeting motor truck competition. Our study of the effect of these reduced rates shows th a t the express companies have increased their business to a very marked degree and the re duced rates have worked out very favorably to the express companies.

MOTOR CARRIER RATES.
Subsequent to our last report our Commission has made a complete revision of the rates for motor carriers of freight and has prescribed uniform rates applicable to all motor carriers under the jurisdiction of the Commission throughout the state. The num ber of commodities in the freight classification has been greatly increased and m aterial reduc tions have been made in the previous rates on m any commodities which in the opinion of 'th e Commission makes it unnecessary for the motor carrier to voluntarily reduce his rates for the purpose of meeting competition of other forms of transportation. The revised rates and classification thus far have worked very satisfactorily to all concerned.
N
UTILITY RATES. Electric.
In previous reports reference has been made to the revision of the rates of the Georgia Power Company, Georgia Power & Light Company and the Savannah Electric & Power

82715

Company, the Commission having prescribed rates for these companies on w hat is known as the service charge system ; th a t is, a t least a p a rt of th e cost incurred b y th e electric com pany in serving the individual customer, which cost is the same w hether or not any electricity is used, has been segregated from the cost of electricity and set up as a socalled service charge and paid by all customers alike. Under th a t system the rate for the electricity consumed has been greatly reduced and this has resulted in reduced bills to the great m ajority of electric customers.
Some complaints have been filed w ith th e Commission against the present service charge and dem and charge system of rates. Therefore, the Commission is a t this tim e conducting a general investigation of all electric rates in the state w ith the view of de termining whether or not the present form of rates shall be continued and, if not, w hat form of rates should be adopted, and w ith the further view of determ ining w hether or not any further reductions in the electric rates will be w arranted a t this time. H earings in connection with the rates of the Georgia Power Company have been had a t A tlanta and A ugusta and will be continued a t M acon pn January 12th and the work completed as early as possible.
Gas.
The conditions surrounding the gas rates are similar to th a t of electric rates above referred to. The Commission is now investigating the gas rates throughout the state w ith the view of determining w hat form of rates should be prescribed and w hether or not any further reduction in rates will be w arranted a t this time. H earings have been had a t A tlanta and A ugusta and will be continued a t M acon on January 13th and this work completed as early as possible.
Telephone.
There has been no general revision of state-wide im portance of telephone rates sub sequent to our last report, b u t the Commission is now making a special study of the rates of all telephone companies under its jurisdiction, w ith the view of determining w hat reductions, if any, will be w arranted a t this time. T his work is not y e t com pleted b u t we expect to have it concluded at an early date.
Western and Atlantic Railroad.
The Georgia Public Service Commission is vested w ith authority to supervise the W estern & A tlantic Railroad property, under lease to The N . C. & St. L. Railway, and property leased in the C ity of Chattanooga, Tennessee. The physical condition of this property is everything th a t the most exacting engineering skill would recommend. I t is kept in the same degree of efficiency as th a t of the property owned outright b y The N. C. & St. L. Railway. Regular inspections made from time to time show clearly th at the lessee has fully discharged its obligation in the m aintenance of this property.
D uring the y ear 1932 there was a to tal sum expended for additions and b etter m ents in th e maintenance of this railroad am ounting to $130.75, which, added to the expenditures up to D ecem ber 31, 1931, am ounts to $2,628,102.08. T he to ta l sum as required under the term s of the lease contract to be spent for expenditures in this respect as of December 31, 1931, am ounts to $650,000.00. Considering th a t th e lease only re quires a to ta l expended of $3,000,000.00 during the entire fife of the lease, it is readily seen how liberal expenditures in this respect have been made. These expenditures date
4

from D ecember 27, 1919, or a little more th an thirteen years of the to tal fifty-year period of th e lease contract. Adding the cost of improvem ents, less retirem ents, to the total shown as having been spent, the total physical value of the W estern & Atlantic Rail road, including the value of the non-carrier property, am ounts to $22,448,111.00.
We regret to again call attention to the lack of progress in the construction of the cold storage warehouse a n d office building b y th e Dixie T erm inal W arehouse C om pany, as provided for under a joint agreem ent between th e S tate of Georgia, th e lessee of the Western & A tlantic Railroad and said warehouse company. We know of nothing to indicate th a t this will not finally be constructed. This warehouse company has expended a total of approxim ately $250,000.00 on this project, b u t all underground. The delay in this construction is wholly due to the general depression throughout the country. Those connected w ith the enterprise insist th a t it will eventually be built. Beyond this we have no definite inform ation looking to the final construction of the building as pro posed.
HISTORY OF MOTOR CARRIER REGULATION IN GEORGIA.
"Motor Carrier Act of 1929."
A t th e regular session of 1929, th e General Assembly enacted into law the M otor C arrier A ct of 1929." T his A ct did n o t differentiate betw een m otor common carriers and private or contract carriers but undertook to impose the same regulations against all m otor carriers operating for hire. T he A ct becam e effective O ctober 1, 1929, a t which tim e the Georgia Public Service Commission was confronted w ith a situation th a t proba bly had never existed in another state. Georgia was among the last of the states to enact legislation designed to regulate m otor bus and truck operations for hire.
D ue to the absence of regulation, the highways were crowded with bus and truck operators. Those m otor carriers operating on fixed routes and between fixed term ini were having a difficult tim e m aintaining service and schedules, due to th e so-called ` boot legger" operators who were continually soliciting the passengers and freight of the fixed route operators and at cut-rate prices.
Service was not dependable. R ates were not uniform and the equipm ent in m any instances was run-down and unsafe for the transportation of the citizens of the State of Georgia and their property. M any of the operators carried no insurance coverage and were financially irresponsible.
Commission Begins Regulation.
Beginning O ctober 1, 1929, an d continuing th ro u g h o u t th e y ear 1930, th e Commis sion conducted a strenuous campaign of rounding up these carriers and requiring them to comply w ith the provisions of the law. Section 4 of the "M otor Carrier A ct of 1929" contained a "grandfather" clause b y virtu e o f which th e Commission was required to issue certificates of public convenience and necessity to those m otor carriers who were actually engaged in bona fide operations on Ju ly 1, 1929. T his Section o f th e Act was responsible for a great m any more m otor carriers being certificated than would other wise have been th e case. I t was responsible for every certificate o f every for hire operator paralleling the W. & A. R. R.
The McIntyre Case. The Commission attem pted and did enforce the "M otor C arrier Act of 1929" as to private and contract carriers, as well as to m otor common carriers. This resulted in

m uch litigation and m any restraining orders were granted enjoining the Commission from enforcing the law as to the operations conducted by complainants. The Supreme C ourt of Georgia, in th e case o f M cIntyre i>. Harrison, 172 G a. p. 65, held th a t th e "M o to r C arrier A ct of 1929 did not apply to private, or co ntract, carriers; th a t th e im position of the regulations therein contained would have had the effect of transm uting private or contract carriers in to common carriers, which could not be done.
The C ourt held further th a t since the "M otor C arrier Act of 1929" was one prim arily designed to regulate th e business of m otor carriers, th e regulations im posed b y th e A ct as applied to private or contract carriers did not bring into question the principle of law th a t the state had the right to impose the term s and conditions upon which m otor carriers for hire might use the highways of this state in the prosecution of their business. The effect of the decision in the M cIntyre case was to keep the "M otor C arrier Act of 1929" in force only insofar as the same applied to common carriers.
"Motor Carrier Act of 1931".
A t the tim e th e C o u rt handed down th e decision in M cIntyre v. Harrison, th e G eneral Assembly was in extraordinary session. An Act, known as the "M otor C arrier Act of 1931 was passed an d approved b y th e G overnor on M arch 31, 1931. T his Act was calcu lated to strengthen and broaden the regulatory powers of the Commission and applied to common, private and interstate m otor carriers for hire.
The Smith v. Cahoon Case.
The motor carrier law of the State of Florida was reviewed by the United -States Suprem e C ourt in th e case of Sm ith v. Cahoon, 283 I. S. 553, th e C ourt holding:
1. T h a t a sta tu te p u rp o rtin g to regulate m otor carriers which fails to distinguish betw een a private carrier an d a comm on carrier is u n constitutional as applied to a common earner engaged in hauling merchandise under an exclusive contract w ith a single shipper.
2. T hat a State statu te purporting to regulate m otor carriers, b ut exempting from provisions for indem nity bonds or insurance, transportation companies "engaged ex clusively in transporting agricultural, horticultural, dairy or other farm products and fresh and salt fish and oysters and shrimp from the point of production to the assembling or shipping point enroute to prim ary m arket" effects an unconstitutional discrimination between carriers.
The Florida statute which was under consideration in the above mentioned case was similar to the "M otor C arrier Act of 1929" of Georgia. B oth the Florida and the Georgia Acts were prim arily designed to regulate the business of m otor carriers, for hire, and did not undertake to prescribe the term s and conditions upon which carriers for hire would be perm itted to use the highways of said states, respectively.
The provisions of both the Georgia and the Florida Acts were applicable alike to common carriers and private carriers and the provisions were such as to make of a private carrier a common carrier by legislative fiat. The Supreme C ourt of the U nited States held th at the Legislature was w ithout authority to require a contract carrier to become a common carrier by such legislative fiat. I t further held th a t when an Act which requires a common carrier to determine what portions apply to him in an Act which makes no distinction between contract and common carriers is void, for the reason th a t it tran scends the permissible lim its of statutory definitions.
6

Agricultural Exemptions Unconstitutional.
T he Sm ith p. Cahoon case referred to held th e F lorida A ct u n constitutional upon the further ground th a t the exemptions granted to carriers engaged exclusively in trans porting agricultural, horticultural, dairy or other farm products, etc., from its applica tion constituted an unconstitutional discrim ination between carriers. A ttention is called to the fact th a t this same exemption exists in th e Georgia "M oto r C arrier A ct of 1931" and, while our courts have never passed upon it, the Act has been attached as being un constitutional in several suits filed in this State. Unless the Supreme C ourt of Georgia should hold th a t th e scheme of th e "M o to r C arrier Act o f 1931" is essentially different from th a t of the Florida Act, it would be compelled to hold the "M otor Carrier Act of 1931" unconstitutional under th e ruling in th e case of Sm ith p. Cahoon,
"Motor Carrier Act of 1931" Differs from Florida Act.
Although the courts have never passed upon it, there is this apparent distinction between th e Florida A ct and th e Georgia "M otor C arrier A ct of 1931," to-w it:
The Florida Act was primarily designed to regulate the business of m otor carriers while th e Georgia "M o to r C arrier Act of 1931" was prim arily designed to fix th e term s and conditions upon which m otor carriers for hire would be authorized to use the high ways of the State of Georgia in carrying on their business. The exemption referred to might not constitute an unreasonable classification for the purposes of the Georgia Act although it m ight constitute an u n ju st classification where an A ct is designed solely and primarily to regulate the business of motor carriers.
Weaknesses of the "Motor Carrier Act of 1931."
The weakness of the "M otor C arrier Act of 1931" insofar as private or contract car riers are concerned is th a t it is vague and indefinite. In distinguishing between those provisions of said Act which apply to private or contract carriers as contra-distinguished from common carriers, this Act contains a similar exemption to th a t which was held unconstitutional in the Florida Act as pointed out by the Supreme Court of the United States in th e case of Sm ith p. Cahoon.
There is danger th a t the courts will hold the entire "M otor C arrier Act of 1931" void for the reasons stated in the Cahoon case and others.
"Motor Common Carriers Act of 1931."
A pparently realizing the inadequacy of the "M otor C arrier Act of 1931" members of the General Assembly introduced two bills a t the regular session of 1931, one designed to regulate motor common carriers and the other private or contract carriers. The Act regulating motor common carriers was passed and signed by the Governor on August 27, 1931. T he com panion bill, regulating co ntract carriers was finally defeated on th e third reading in the House of Representatives by one vote. The repealing clause of the "M otor Common Carriers Act of 1931" repealed the "M otor C arrier Act of 1931" only insofar as the last mentioned Act referred to common carriers. Therefore, the "M otor C arrier A ct of 1931" is still in full force an d effect as to th e operations o f con tract m otor carriers for hire.
Unless the Legislature enacts a new law for the regulation of contract carriers there is grave danger th a t th e Suprem e C ourt o f Georgia will in a proper case, declare th e
7

"M o to r C arrier Act o f 1931" void upon th e principle laid down in th e case o f Sm ith i>. Cahoon and this would leave the Commission w ithout any regulation w hatever as to th a t class of carriers.
Since the passage of the Georgia laws regulating m otor carriers, contract carriers and common carriers, the Supreme C ourt of the U nited States has rendered decisions on nearly every question involved in such regulation.
I t held in th e Stephenson o. B inford case, from Texas, th a t th e Texas Legislature had the right to base regulation of common and contract-carriers for hire on a policy of protecting the State highways and life and property thereon, and th a t the State could prohibit or condition as it saw fit the use of the highways for such purposes. We do not presume to suggest w hat the policy of the Georgia Legislature shall be because th a t is a m atter for the exercise of its own judgm ent and discretion. We simply call attention to th e Suprem e C ourt ca'ses to show th a t th e L egislature can go as fa r as it likes in p ro hibiting or conditioning the use of the highways for commercial purposes.
In th e Sproles v. B inford case th e Suprem e C o u rt of th e U nited S tates held th a t th e Texas L egislature could fix w hatever w eights it saw fit for tru ck s an d buses operated for hire. I t could p rohibit th e ir operation over th e highw ays entirely or could fix such limitations as its adopted policy suggested as reasonable and proper.
Private Carriers. W hat we in Georgia have been accustomed to refer to as contract or private car riers, in other states are called contract carriers and such term should be adopted in this State to avoid confusion and misunderstanding.
T he Suprem e C ourt of th e U nited S tates in th e case of Continental Baking Co. v. Woodring, 52 Sup. C t. Reporter, 595, held th a t the Legislature of K ansas, in pursuance of a policy of protecting State highways and life and property thereon, had the right to tax and regulate motor-carriers, called private cariers, which did not haul for hire bu t which were engaged in the transportation by motor vehicle of property sold or to be sold by it in furtherance of any private commercial enterprise.
This commission has made an extended field survey and check w hich will show in a general way w hat proportion of the business over the highways is done by the three kinds of m otor carriers, common, contract and private. The legislature will have before it facts from which it m ay decide w hether it will tax and regulate private carriers as well as common and contract carriers. The result of the survey will be found on following pages.
I t m ight be well to add th a t if private carriers are regulated and taxed the reports of their operations m ay be required to be filed to insure and facilitate the collection of the tax. Certain exemptions were made in Texas and if private carriers are taxed in Georgia proper exemptions will of course be m ade here.
Private carriers m ay be forced to carry public liability and property damage in surance bu t not cargo insurance for the reason th a t the property hauled is their own.
Stephenson v. Binford Case.
On D ecem ber 5, 1932, th e Suprem e C o u rt o f th e U nited S tates u p held th a t p a rt of the Texas statute providing for the regulation of contract m otor carriers on the ground
8
/

th a t "plainly one of its aims is to conserve the highways." The Court said, " * * * we confine our inquiry to the question whether, in the light of the broad general rule ju st stated, the statu te m ay be construed and sustained as a constitutional exercise, of the legislative power to regulate the use of the S tate highways * * * it is well established law th a t the highways of the State are public property; th at their prim ary and preferred use is for private purposes; an d th a t th eir use for purposes of gain is special and extraor dinary, which, generally at least, the Legislature m ay prohibit or condition as it sees fit * * * I t m ay be said w ith like force th a t it belongs to the State, 'as m aster in its own house/ to prescribe the term s upon which persons will be perm itted to contract in re spect of the use of the public highways for purposes of gain."
The contract m otor carriers involved in this case were engaged in transporting freight over the highways of Texas under private contracts made with various shippers, which contracts were entered into prior to the passage of the Texas law, and among other terms, fixed the rate to be charged for the transportation service.
The Texas statute required contract carriers to apply to the Railroad Commission of Texas for "perm its" and not Certificates of Public Convenience and Necessity. The Act also gave the Commission authority to prescribe rules and regulations governing the operation of contract carriers in competition with common carriers over the highways, and to prescribe minimum rates to be collected by such contract carriers "which shall not be less than the rates prescribed for common carriers for substantially the same service." On the question of the right of th e individual states to fix the rates of contract haulers in this manner, the Court said, Here the circumstances which justifies what otherwise might be an unconstitutional interference with the freedom of private con tract is th a t the contract calls for a service, the performance of which contem plates the use of facilities belonging to the S tate; and it would be strange doctrine which, while recognizing the power of the State to regulate the use itself, would deny its power to regu late the contract so far as it contem plates the use. C ontracts which relate to th e use of the highways m ust be deemed to have been made in contemplation of the regulatory authority of the State."
Commenting upon the claim th a t the Texas statute regulating contract carriers was invalid and speaking for the Court, Justice Sutherland said, "W e are of opinion th a t neither b y specific provision o r provisions, nor b y th e sta tu te considered p is there an a tte m p t to convert p riv ate co ntract carriers b y m otor in to V.1!______ Certainly, the statu te does not say so. Common carriers by motor and private contract carriers are classified separately and subjected to distinctly separate provisions."
Com m enting on the decision it rendered in th e case of Sm ith v. Cahoon, 283 I. S. 553, the C ourt said:
"T his court held th a t since th e statu te affixed the same conditions to all who applied for certificates, and embraced in those conditions a scheme of supervision and control which constitutionally could be applied only to common carriers, a private carrier for hire could not constitutionally be arrested under it for failure to procure a certificate or pay the tax required by the Act.
" I t further held th a t if the statu te were regarded as Intended to afford one con stitutional scheme for common carriers and another for private carriers, it failed to define the obligations of private carriers w ith the certainty required of criminal
9

statutes, and was, therefore, void; and th a t this defect was not removed by a de cision of the State court declaring the provisions separable and th a t only those legally applicable to private carriers were intended to apply to them , w ithout also deciding which provisions were so applicable. 'N o separate scheme of regulation, we said (p. 563), can be discerned in the term s of the Act w ith respect to those con siderations of safety and proper operation affecting the use of highways which may appropriately relate to private carriers as well as to common carriers.

" The vice of the statute was th a t all carriers for hire, w hether public or private, were p u t upon th e sam e footing by explicit provisions which could n o t be severed so as to afford one valid scheme for common carriers and another for private carriers, with the result th at until the separability of these provisions should be determined by competent authority, they were void for uncertainty/'
Travel Bureaus.

A nother weakness of the m otor carrier laws of this State is th a t the laws do not apply to those persons engaged in w hat is commonly referred to as " Travel Bureaus where the transportation is conducted on a "share-expenses-of-the-tnp basis only. The Acts did not contem plate the regulation of this class of business where the compensa tion for the transportation was on a share-expense basis of th a t kind. The law should be amended so as to give some reasonable regulation of this character of business so th a t persons operating for hire m ay not be perm itted to evade enforcement by purporting to operate under the guise of an individual carrying passengers solely on a share-expenses-of-the-trip" basis. This could be remedied to a great extent by giving the Public Service Commission authority to regulate the business of auto travel bureaus and to keep records showing the names of persons hauling passengers on a "share-expenses-ot-thetrip" basis, along with records of the automobiles used in such business.

It has been estimated by both representatives of rail carriers and representatives

of the bus industry th at the total number of passengers handled into and out of the

C ity of A tlanta each day on this "share-expenses-of-the-trip" basis will equal if not sur

pass the num ber of passengers carried by rail lines and certificated motor-bus operators.

T"^eed, this practice has grown to such an ex tent th a t th e subject was given very serious

the N ational Association of Railroad & U tilities Commissioners at their

:ngs, Arkansas, in N ovem ber, 1932. On account of th e im portance

__Constrained to quote th e following from th e report of th e C om m ittee

on M otor Vehicle T ransportation, which was subm itted a t th a t meeting:

"Booking Agencies:

"One of th e m ost appalling developm ents in th e passenger carrying business is th e rapid growth of booking agencies representing in alm ost all instances wildcat
operators.
" They are as numerous alm ost as the sands of the sea. There is no ham let too small, no city too big or proud to escape their greedy, unscrupulous, piratical, inhum an and criminal activities. Particularly, and unfortunately they chiefly prey upon the poor, the sick, the afflicted, the unemployed, the inexperienced and the uninformed. They promise transportation at greatly reduced rates, knowing th a t in m any instances the passengers will be abandoned far short of their destina

it)

tions; th a t they will be dum ped upon the cold mercies of an already oppressed and suffering com m unity of strangers; th a t innocent and defenseless girls and women are placed in the custody of unknown, unreliable, unprincipled drivers, some of whom have proved to be criminals and degenerates of the worst type. They know th at in m any cases the passengers have been compelled to pay much more than the agreed fares and kept in transit over long periods. N o b etter evidence is needed of the fraudulent character of these transactions than the fact th a t w ithout exception the booking agents give to the proposed passenger no receipts for paym ents or in the event receipts are given th a t it is shown thereon th a t the money paid is for service in "introducing the passengers to the drivers." I t is prim a facie evidence of fraud and crime which it is hoped an awakened public conscience will rise up in its w rath and banish from the face of the earth.
" I t is possible for these dens of iniquity to exist only because of newspaper ad vertisements. To their credit it m ay be said th at m any of the prominent publica tions of the country absolutely refuse to handle such advertising. They do not wish to have crying out against them the voices of the innocent victims of a system of crime th a t no civilized country should perm it to exist. They do not wish to have upon their record the stigm a of participation in the infamies of a practice more nefarious th a n those indulged in b y th e m uch to u ted gangsters o f o u r cities. I t is an amazing and sad com m entary on current journalism th a t some otherwise reputable papers persist in giving sym pathetic protection and aid to these enemies of lawful governm ent.
'Evidencing the splendid attitude of those publications refusing this character of advertising, we quote from the F ebruary 1932 issue of th e M O TO R C A R R IE R , concerning the policy of the Long Beach Sim as follows:
'Before accepting an ad for the classified columns, the Long Beach Sun re quires th a t the advertiser show his credentials and prove th a t he is a legiti m ate operator. H e m ust show th a t he is properly bonded and th a t he carries liability insurance.
'By adhering to this strict rule, this newspaper has discouraged a number of wildcat operators from getting started in Long Beach. N aturally w ithout advertising their stay is short-lived.
'The Sun has lost m any opportunities for revenue by refusing this type of advertising and is most certainly deserving of the appreciation of the m otor stage industry and the public generally for thus upholding public policy, even at considerable cost to itself/
W hat we have ju st said concerning newspaper participation in these activities m ay be repeated w ith equal emphasis concerning hotels which perm it these agencies to operate either in their lobbies or adjacent thereto w ith the appearance to the traveling public th a t they are operating under the supervision and approval of the hotels. Confidence is thus created which otherwise the irresponsible operators or the booking agencies could not obtain.
" I f the managers of newspapers and hotels guilty of these practices should be ap proached by an outlaw w ith a proposal to assist in a bank robbery, they would m eet w ith the condemnation which they deserve. Through the booking agencies a great
11

m any people are separated from their meager funds w ith about the same facility th a t the bank robber or the holdup m an relieves his victims.
" If either booking agency or operators were financially responsible it would be possible to enforce specific perform ance of th e contracts entered into even though they are worded in a m anner intended to enable the operators to escape liability. Financial irresponsibility precludes the possibility of protection of the public in this manner.
"Some states have already legislated against this evil, notably, California. I t is hoped th a t all o th er states will take sim ilar action and this Association ought to go on record recommending remedial legislation.
" The California law defines a transportation agent as follows:
`A person, firm or corporation, who, for com pensation, sells or offers for sale, or negotiates for, a n d /o r holds him self out as one who sells, furnishes or pro vides as principal or agent, transportation for persons over public highways of this State, when such transportation is furnished by other than a carrier holding a certificate of public convenience and necessity from the Railroad Commission, perm itting of such carrier transporting persons over such high ways or an y o f'th e m an d betw een th e points for w hich such tran sp o rtatio n is sold, or, to the border line of the S tate when one of such points is w ithout the S ta te /
In this connection a tte n tio n is called to th e fa c t th a t th e S tate of Louisiana has recently enacted a law dealing w ith T ravel B ureaus or Booking Agencies.
Cost of Certificates of Public Convenience and Necessity.
The present m otor carrier for hire laws fix the fee for a Certificate a t $35.00. I t would appear the cost of a certificate should be increased to some am ount more in keep ing w ith the cost incurred by the State in the operation of its machinery for holding the necessary public hearing. $150.00 or $200.00 would seem more in line w ith the expense incurred. Increasing the m onetary value of the Certificates should create a greater re spect for the law and the Commission's rules and elim inate frivilous filings by irresponsi ble m otor carriers who are financially unable to render continuous and adequate service to th e public. The fee for transferring a certificate should be around $25.00 instead of $7.50. In the event the law is changed to provide for "perm its" for private or contract and commercial carriers instead of Certificates of Public Convenience and Necessity, a fee of approxim ately $50.00 should be charged for the perm it and the perm it should not be transferable or subject to hypothecation or lease.
Motor Carrier for Hire Licenses.
The present laws provide for the paym ent on or before January 1st of $25.00 license fee for the ensuing year (or any portion thereof) on each vehicle operated under certifi cates issued by the commission. This fee is assessed w hether it be on a 1-ton truck or a 5-ton truck; on a 5-passenger bus or a 33-passenger bus and no proration is allowed whereby the license can be purchased at half price after August 1st as w ith automobile license tags issued by the S tate Revenue Commission. In the event a vehicle is put into service on the fifteenth day of December of a given year, the Commission m ust charge
12

the m otor carrier $25.00 for fifteen days' operation of the vehicle. The license fee should be graduated on a scale to accord w ith the size of the vehicle and should be purchasable at half the regular price on or after August 1st of each year.
Safety Appliances--Four Wheel Trailers.
Few provisions are made in the present laws for safety features and appliances on motor vehicles operated for hire. The Commission has prom ulgated certain rules and regulations covering these features, among which are (a) semi-trailers are required to have brakes on the rear wheels and, (b) four-wheel trailers brakes on all wheels, which can be controlled from the cab of the vehicle.
Four-wheel trailers are not desirable equipment from the standpoint of safety. We are told by authorities of th e autom otive in d u stry th a t it is extrem ely difficult to equal ize the brakes on all four wheels of the four-wheel trailers so th a t they will per form smoothly. W hen the brakes are applied it almost invariably results in either the front or rear of th e vehicle careening tow ard th e center of th e highw ay. T here is a conse quent pull and drag on the trailer which constitutes not only a hazard to the public using the highways, b u t also a dangerous mechanical failure to the vehicle towing the trailer.
Hours For Drivers.
Section 25 of the "M otor Common Carriers Act of 1931" provides th a t it shall be unlawful for a driver to be or remain on duty for a longer period than ten consecutive hours, etc. By all means there should be some am endm ent to this Section of the law. In the m ajority of instances, the drivers of m otor vehicles are not on duty ten consecu tive hours, but m ay be on duty for eight hours, off duty for two hours and on duty again for six hours out of a given tw enty-four hour period. N umerous other illustrations could be given. In our opinion, a driver should not be allowed to drive more than eight consecu tive hours nor should he be allowed to drive more than fourteen hours out of any given tw enty-four hour period w ith o u t having h ad a t least ten hours rest, the rest to he taken off the vehicle. T here are entirely too m any instances where relief drivers take their rest sitting up in a cab of a vehicle while the vehicle is in m otion. Some m otor carriers, where relief drivers are not furnished, instruct their men to drive as long as they can stay awake and when they can no longer stay awake to drive the vehicle off of the highway and sleep on the seat in the cab.
Definition of Word "Occasionally."
One word appearing in both of the m otor carrier Acts, has been responsible for more trouble and expense th a n alm ost an y o th er feature of th e law. The word is "occasionally," , and appears in the exemptions. Trial judges have, w ithout exception, expressed doubt as to the intention of the Legislature in the use of this word. A carrier m ay operate more or less regularly beyond the city limits of a given city or town. H e is apprehended by an inspector of the Commission on one of his trips and prosecuted in the criminal courts. Unless proof is produced th a t he is operating habitually and regularly, the courts have been inclined to the view th a t the trip on which he was apprehended was one of the occasional trips m entioned by the Legislature in the exemptions. If there are to be exemptions for any movements outside of the city limits, the number of movements per week, m onth or year should be stipulated and the distance beyond the city limits of a given city or town the m otor carrier m ay go w ithout violating the law.
13

Business Partly Within and Without Cities.
A nother feature of the existing laws has caused the Commission much concern. N um bers of common carriers, the m ajor portion of whose business is carried on and whose vehicles are m ainly operated within the city limits of the larger cities, register w ith the Commission one or two vehicles to be operated over the highways under the m otor carrier for hire laws. These operators, w ithout exception, claim the benefits of the exemp tion on the operations conducted within the city limits. On this portion of their business the Commission is unable to regulate their charges, police their equipm ent, require the filing of the insurance coverage, etc. The citizens of A tlanta, for instance, when they are within the city limits are as much entitled to the protection of the insurance coverage as they are when out on the highways. The Commission has not been able to devise satis factory bookkeeping accounts for this class of operation. If a portion of the operations of a m otor carrier is under the jurisdiction of the Commission, in our opinion the public interest requires all parts of it to be under the jurisdiction of the Commission.
Intraurban Bus Service.
Under the present statutes giving the Commission jurisdiction over electric com panies, street railroads, steam railroads, etc., the Commission regulates bus operations where the service is performed as auxiliary service to th a t of a street railroad. A nticipat ing at some future date intraurban bus companies will furnish service th a t is not auxiliary and supplem ental to street railroad service, some provision should be m ade in the law w hereby th e Commission's jurisdiction will be extended to th is class o f operation.
Agency and Depot Facilities.
We are having untold inconvenience to the traveling public on account of no juris diction forcing the erection of passenger bus terminals. The Legislature has given con sideration to this subject in the past but thus far has not delegated authority to any departm ent requiring such reasonable and adequate facilities. N either does the Commis sion have authority to require the consolidation of m otor carrier depots or agency facili ties. This is indeed unfortunate as the public suffers from this lack of jurisdiction more than the m otor carriers themselves. Com petition is keen and all the tricks of the trade are often resorted to to secure business. There is the illustration where an elderly lady w'ent to th e bus statio n of a m otor carrier to secure tran sp o rtatio n to A tlan ta. She was told by the agent of the bus company th a t "We have no more buses for A tlanta today. The lady spent the night in a hotel in the city about eighty miles from A tlanta because the agent of the bus company did not tell her th a t directly across the street was the bus station of another and competing line which had a bus leaving for A tlanta within thirty minutes of the time the inquiry was made.
Bus and Truck Terminal Companies.
The Commission should be given complete jurisdiction over bus and truck term inal facilities. The Commission should also have the authority to require construction of joint terminals and determine adequacy and location of same to the end th at reasonable and adequate facilities m ay be provided.
R. F. D. Mail Carriers Transporting Passengers.
One of the most inequitable provisions appearing in the present motor carrier for hire laws is th e exem ption in th e ''.Motor C arrier A ct of 1931 w hereby R . F . D . carriers
14

or star route carriers engaged in carrying the United States M ail are perm itted to carry

passengers, not exceeding five, while actually engaged in transporting U nited States M ail over such route, w ithout complying w ith the term s of the law. There appears to be no justification for such an exemption. In numerous instances, the operations of these mail carriers transporting passengers have resulted in impairing and weakening existing regulated transportation. There have been numerous instances brought to the attention of the Commission where mail carriers have operated a few m inutes ahead of

the schedule of the bus line and called a t the bus station for passengers, offering them

transportation at rates less th a n those fixed by th e Commission for the bus companies. The rural mail carrier m ay well afford to transport the passengers at reduced rates since he is n o t required to carry th e expensive insurance protection or p ay to th e S tate of Georgia a mileage tax for the use of the highways, even though his operations are for

purposes of gain.

Casual or Occasional Haulers.

Sections 8 and 9 of the, "M otor Carrier Act of 1931" provide certain requirem ents

for casual or occasional carriers and th a t the Commission shall define w hat are casual or occasional carriers. The Commission defined a casual or occasional hauler as:

" * * * a motor carrier engaged prim arily in some other business but incidental to

such primary business duties, m ay occasionally transport passengers an d /o r freight

for hire, b ut who shall in no event make more th an one trip per week, and over no

fixed route."

Experience has dem onstrated there are no operations in the State th a t come under such a definition. Probably there were prior to regulation, b u t due to the imposition of a mileage tax, th e paym ent of license fees and the filing of the expensive insurance

coverage such casual or occasional motor carriers have found such transportation unprofit

able as a side line to their regular business. Indeed, there are no motor carriers in the

State at the present time operating as casual or occasional haulers.

Passengers Riding on Freight Carrying Vehicles. The Commission adopted a rule forbidding m otor carriers certificated to transport freight from transporting passengers on their vehicles, either free or for compensation.

This practice sprang up because the drivers of freight carrying vehicles were found to be frequently picking up passengers in order to have somebody to talk to on the trip, some times hauling them free, of charge and a t other times charging a small fare which was retained by the driver. No recent violations of the rule by certificated motor freight carriers have come to light, but the recent road checks made under the direction of the

Commission by its staff of inspectors indicates th a t passengers in great numbers are

being transported by private trucks. Very little information could be obtained as to w hether or not a charge is usually m ade for the transportation, b u t it is known th a t one traveling from A tlanta to Macon, for instance, m ay secure transportation on a private truck for as little as fifty cents. On account of the present depressed conditions there are literally hundreds of people taking advantage of such transportation even though the

facilities provided are crude and uncomfortable.

Chartered Trips.

The "M otor C arrier Act of 1929" provided no specific regulation for chartered trips

although Section 8 of th e "M otor C arrier A ct of 1929" read as follows: "No chartered motor vehicles (which shall mean and include a m otor vehicle carry

ing for compensation more th a n six persons, hired for a specific trip or trips and

which is subject to the direction of the person hiring the same) m ay be operated

except a motor carrier holding a certificate under this Act."

15

N o such provision was contained in either of the subsequent Acts, b ut the Com mission has continued to perm it chartered trip s to be m ade b y Class "A " carriers holding Certificates and m otor vehicle licenses issued b y th e Commission. On April 27, 1932, the Commission issued an O rder fixing rates for chartered trips. T he O rder contained, among other things, the following:
"T hat certificated bus operators on fixed routes are entitled to contract for any charter trips originating at terminal or interm ediate points on their respective routes regardless of destination. Also, certificated bus operators on regular routes are entitled to contract for any charter trips originating at points not on the regular fixed route of any bus operator, regardless of destination. Certificated bus operators on fixed routes shall not be entitled to contract for charter trips originating a t points not on their fixed routes and on the fixed routes of other certificated bus operators, except and unless said operators first obtain from the holders of all fixed route cer tificates a t said points, or from the Commission, a w ritten waiver of exclusive contract privileges in respect to the particular trip or trips. Certificated bus operators hav ing no fixed routes shall not be entitled to contract for charter trips originating a t a terminal or interm ediate point on the regular route of a certificated operator and destined to an interm ediate or term inal point on the regular route of a certificated operator."
Fruit and Vegetable Trucks. There is in vogue a t the present tim e an unregulated system of transportation which is causing grave concern to all who are fam iliar w ith it. I t has demoralized the pro duce m arkets of the country and resulted in unestimated damage to the farmers of this State. There are literally hundreds of truckmen who have bought trucks of varying sizes and questionable mechanical condition. They buy farm products all over the eastern portion of the U nited States transporting them to m arket in other States and re-selling them , adding thereto their profit which includes the cost of transportation. These truck men are not farmers. They are not m otor carriers for hire and the Commission has no jurisdiction over them. They go to Florida to buy a load of oranges and peddle them as far east as Philadelphia and New York C ity and as far west as St. Louis and Chicago. They buy grapes in Michigan and peddle them in the southeastern states. The result has been complete demoralization of produce markets. The Georgia farmer can no longer, w ith any degree of certainty as to price, bring his farm products to the city m ar kets. On M onday, he m ay learn th a t the potato m arket is especially good in A tlanta, and arrive in A tlanta on Tuesday w ith a load of potatoes only to find th at twenty-five truck loads of potatoes have been dumped on the Tuesday morning m arket by these itinerant truckm en. H e m ust either dispose of his potatoes on this demoralized m arket or carry them back to his farm.
A review of new spaper files will show th a t more highw ay accidents are traceable to this class of operation than to perhaps any other class of vehicles using the highways a t the present time. There are usually two drivers on the trucks and on account of the perishable condition of the produce the trucks are kept in motion continuously--one driver taking his rest sitting up asleep in the cab while the other drives. In our opinion, the operation constitutes the greatest menace on the highways because of the run-down, unsafe condition of the equipment, usually improper lighting and drivers grown care less from fatigue and lack of sleep.
Motor Carrier Inspectors Not Police Officers. W hen the m otor carrier inspectors of the Commission were first employed it was thought th a t their duties would consist m ainly of inspecting the mechanical condition
16

of the vehicles operating under the jurisdiction of the Commission and enforcing the motor carrier rules and regulations of the Commission. However, due to the failure of law enforcem ent officers to enforce these laws it becam e necessary for th e inspectors to assume th e role of enforcem ent officers in order to apprehend th e great num ber of m otor carriers who were operating w ith flagrant disregard of the law and w ithout having ap plied to the Commission for qualification.
The inspectors are not at the present time clothed w ith arresting authority.' Some of them have been sworn in as deputy sheriffs in certain counties, b ut this authority is not flexible enough to perm it them to function freely and w ithout handicaps. By all means, they should be given police or arresting authority. They frequently apprehend violators in the dead of night a t points where arresting officers are not available.

Private Carriers Should File Copies of Their Contracts. In view of the decision of the Supreme C ourt of th e U nited States in the case of Stephenson v. Binjord, private o r contract m otor carriers should be required b y law to file copies of their contracts w ith the Commission.

Interstate Operators.

Both of the m otor carrier for hire Acts provide th a t operators engaged solely in

interstate commerce m ay operate w ithout certificates of public convenience and neces

sity, but must

(1) Register w ith th e Commission the route or routes to be traversed in Georgia.

(2) Pay th e annual license fee of $25.00 for each vehicle operated. (3) File public liability and property damage insurance coverage or post the neces

sary indemnity bond. (4) D esignate an agent or a tto rn ey in fact in Georgia upon whom process m ay

be served.

.

(5) P ay th e mileage tax to th e Com ptroller-G eneral.

W hen an interstate m otor carrier has m et these requirem ents, he is free to engage

in business and the Commission is a t the "end of its rope" insofar as regulation is con

cerned.

The m ajority of the interstate operators register to operate over no fixed route and

since the Commission has no jurisdiction over their rates, as parasites of the m otor car rier industry, they prey upon th e in trastate fixed route operators, moving from route to route as the "pickings" look better. The intrastate motor carriers competitive w ith these strictly interstate operators, are at a decided disadvantage. The interstate opera tors are not required to have a public hearing before they can operate, do not have to

p ay for a certificate a n d do n o t have to file cargo insurance coverage for th e protection

of the merchandise they are transporting.

There are in existence a t the present tim e three fixed route Class "A" certificates for the transportation of freight between A tlanta and the Georgia-Tennessee State Line

(destination Chattanooga). The holders of these certificates do a through interstate

business from C hattanboga to A tlanta, in addition to performing purely local service

on th e route. The local in trastate business is inconsequential and is, in and of itself, insufficient to support one line, m uch less three. T he cities of Ringgold, D alton, C al houn and Cartersville use C hattanooga as their principal trading point and since the m ovem ent of th e m erchandise from C hattanooga to these points is in in te rsta te com

merce and the rates are unregulated, the interstate operators have the intrastate opera

tors a t a serious disadvantage. Three results are obtained:

17

1. The people o f Georgia are deprived o f dependable local in tra sta te service due to the weakening of the local operators.
2. Georgia merchants buy their merchandise in other states because of the lower rates obtainable for interstate transportation.
3. Congestion of traffic on p articu lar highways.
As an illustration, the m erchant at Cartersville, 43 miles from A tlanta and 80 miles from C hattanooga, will purchase his m erchandise in C hattanooga and patronize the interstate m otor carrier with unregulated rates rather than buy in A tlanta and pay the rates prescribed by the Commission for the intrastate operator. Assuming the price of the merchandise to be the same in A tlanta and Chattanooga, the merchant can often save from fifteen to twenty-five cents per hundred pounds, representing the difference m the transportation charges.
There is another phase of these interstate operations which has its effect upon local intrastate motor carrier operations. A number of the interstate operators occupy the same terminal facilities in A tlanta and interchange freight with other interstate opera tors, the freight being billed on inter-line through billing. Therefore, an interstate motor carrier transporting freight from Chattanooga to A tlanta m ay interchange at A tlanta w ith an operator transporting freight in interstate commerce from A tlanta to Jackson ville. Therefore, freight originating in Chattanooga m ay be billed through inter-line billing from Chattanooga to Macon, Cordele or Valdosta. The Commission attem pted to correct this situation by issuing its General O rder No. 29 declaring the movem ent from A tlanta to M acon, Cordele or Valdosta to be an in trastate movem ent, b u t there is con siderable doubt as to the constitutionality of the Order.
The Commission should have jurisdiction over the highways of the State of Georgia to the extent of saying w hether th e traffic congestion over p articu lar routes is such th a t m otor carriers engaged solely in interstate, commerce shall be required to use those high ways where traffic is n o t so congested due to th e Commission having issued certificate of public convenience and necessity to local intrastate motor carriers of passengers and freight.
Of course, some consideration should be given to the difference existing between moving vans which make infrequent trips into or through the State of Georgia as com pared w ith an interstate m otor freight line which operates heavily-loaded vehicles every day in the year. There has been a great deal of agitation for reciprocal arrangements between states as to these moving vans on infrequent operations. There is, of course, to be considered the difficulty of policing these infrequent trips. I t is hard to determine, unless clearly stipulated, when such infrequent trips m ight be considered regular trips.
Insurance. T he present laws provide th a t m otor carriers for hire shall file w ith th e Commission indem nity bonds or insurance coverage protecting the public from loss or damage to persons a n d /o r property; also, to merchandise being transported upon the vehicles. The Commission elected to require the filing of public liability and property damage and cargo insurance coverage in lieu of the bonds, as experience has dem onstrated th a t the practice of giving bonds is very unsatisfactory.
The premiums on the insurance coverage are almost prohibitive and have been increased, in some instances, alm ost 100% since the effective date of regulation. F or il lustration, in 1929 a m otor carrier could secure public liability coverage in th e am ount of $5,000 for any one injury and $10,000 for any one accident on a 1 t on truck for $57.00 and property damage insurance coverage in th e am ount of $5,000 for $36.00. A t the
18

present time, th e public liability coverage on a 1Yz to n truck is approxim ately $100.00, while the property damage coverage rem ains a t $36.00.

Insurance on passenger carrying vehicles is much higher, but there has been no marked increase in the premium rate. Public liability coverage on a five-passenger autom obile operated for hire is $285.00, plus $90.00 p ro p erty dam age or a to ta l of $375.00; and on a 30-passenger bus th e public liability prem ium is $535.00, plus $160.00 for property damage. A great m any companies do not wish to carry the risk at any price and the motor carriers are finding it increasingly difficult to get coverage. This brings to mind an instance where the insurance premiums of a certain small bus operator in Georgia, rendering a service needed in his com m unity, exceeded the annual gross earn ings derived from the operation of two Ford station wagons and necessitated the abandon
ment of service.

Another trouble we observe in connection w ith providing insurance under the Georgia law is this: Frequently we find, apparently, legitim ate operators insured in a reliable company but one not qualified to do business in Georgia. Under the law we cannot accept insurance or protection in any form unless the com pany is qualified to do busi
ness in Georgia.

We believe this should be corrected and left to the discretion of the Commission as to w hether we accept bond from a com pany not qualified to do business in Georgia.

However, any plan th a t will overcome the trouble noted in this connection will answer

every purpose.

Class "B" Operators.

The Commission's attention is directed to the fact th a t there are 216 Class " B " common carriers of property operating over no fixed routes in Georgia. T heir operations are subject to Rule 23 of the Commission, which prohibits picking up and delivering all, except certain exem pted comm odities specified in G eneral O rder N o. 28, on th e routes
of Class "A " operators.
In D ecem ber, 1931, a fte r notice a n d o p p o rtu n ity to be heard, th e Commission amended most of the no-fixed-route certificates issued under the so-called grandfather clause of the "M otor C arrier Act of 1929," so as to perm it operation only within a radius of fifty miles of the base point except as provided in General Order No. 28.

This action by the Commission resulted in a num ber of carriers seeking a restrain ing order, questioning th e Comm ission's rig h t to so lim it th e certificates. T he case was tried recently before a Judge of the Superior Court of Fulton County and the restraining order was denied. A Bill of Exceptions to the Suprem e C ourt is being prepared by com

plainants.

Enforcement.

W hatever m ay be said by way of criticism in the enforcement of the different laws regulating this business, the answer, in p art, will be found in the fact th a t four different departm ents have jurisdiction over separate phases of the subject. It has happened on different occasions th a t as m any as four men, one from each departm ent, would be found in the same comm unity looking for the same m an alleged to have violated different provisions of th e different laws. I t is h ard ly necessary to sta te th a t one m an could have accomplished the same result as the four, saying nothing of the loss both in compensa-

19

tion and actual expense. I t is o u r b est jud g m en t th a t one dep artm en t should h andle considerable of the different parts of the regulation now scattered among the four de partm ents. We refrain from making any detailed recommendation in this respect but feel it a duty to bring to your attention this condition for such consideration as you may see fit to give it.

DIRECTIONS FOR C O M PU TIN G RATES
For the benefit of those who m ay not be familiar w ith th e subject, the following directions are given for the com putation of rates from the Classification and T ariff of the Commission, contained in th is volume.
This can best be done by actual example:--Take, for instance, a shipment of brick, less carload, weighing 500 pounds, from S avannah to Tennille, Ga. Tennille being on the line o f th e C entral o f Georgia, we tu rn to th e distance tables of th a t com pany, page 268, where the distance from S avannah to Tennille is shown to be 135 miles. T urning to page 193, a classified list o f railroads in Georgia is found, th e C entral being in Class C; and on page 194, we find th a t on several classes o f freight all roads in Class C are allowed to add 25 per cent, to rates shown in th e S tan d ard Tariff.
Now turn to the Classification which begins on page 227 (arranged in alphabetical order), and under th e head o f " B " it will be seen th a t brick, less carload is in Class "G ." Turn to th e S tandard Tariff, page 203, an d follow down th e first column, which shows the miles. T here being no distance o f 135 shown, th e next highest distance governs; and opposite 140 miles, in the th ird column (this being th e colum n for Class "G ," th e rate is seen to be 9 cents per 100 pounds. T he road being allowed to ad d 25 per cent, to th is class, and 25 per cent, o f 9 cents being 2% cents, we find b y adding th e 9 and 2J4 together, that the m axim um rate is 11 % cents per 100 pounds after disposing of fractions according to Freight R ule N o. 8. To this 11}4 cents should be added th e increases as per G eneral Order N o. 28 and ex parte 74 an d th en reduced 10% as o f July 1st, 1922.
Direction to Agents Regarding the Construction of Joint Rates.
Freight Rule No. 27 provides th a t the maximum charge on a shipment which moves between tw o points, b oth located in th e S tate o f Georgia, b u t n o t located on th e same road, shall be 90 per cent, o f th e local rate allowed to be charged b y 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 C ovington (on th e Georgia R . R .) will be arrived a t as follows, viz: T ake th e A. & W . P . ra te for Class "G " F airb u rn to A tlanta, from this deduct 10 per cent., to this ad d th e Georgia R . R . rate from A tla n ta to Covington less 10 per cent., account jo in t shipm ent, which represents Georgia R . R . proportion for hauling jo in t through shipm ents from F airb u rn to Covington.
Each railroad company's proportion in handling joint through shipments, m ust be determined before adding together to arrive a t the through joint rate, and unless other wise provided by proper division basis am ong th e carriers, w hich do n o t affect th e to ta l through jo in t rate paid by shipper or consignee, th e through jo in t rate will divide betw een the carriers as m ade.
The attention of agents is called to the fact th a t m any of the roads are allowed to charge greater th a n th e stan d ard rates. T he classified list will be found on page 193 and on page 194 will be found th e percentage o f increase allowed to such roads, and care should be tak en to see th a t th e stan d ard rates are increased to th e extent provided
195

before th e deduction o f 10 per cent, in arriving a t jo in t or th rough rates. See instruc tions above for arriving at present Standard Rate.

TRAFFIC SURVEY.
In order to determine accurately the percentage use made by m otor carriers for hire of state highways compared w ith total use, the Commission selected 25 strategic points in the State and made an accurate survey and check of the traffic passing each of the points for a continuous period of 24 hours. The points where the surveys were made are shown on th e attached map of the State Highway System. There has been prepared and are reproduced in this report a series of graphs or charts showing the results of each of these traffic checks. Private passenger cars were simply counted and tallied on the report sheets. Where any suspicion existed th a t the truck operations might be for hire, the drivers were stopped for questioning and the staff of inspectors satisfied itself the operations did not come w ithin the purview of the M otor Carrier for H ire Laws.
All vehicles licensed by the Commission to operate for hire were stopped, weighed and a complete mechanical inspection and report made. The report covers the mechan ical condition of the body, brakes, bumpers, chassis, motor, paint, steering gear; marker, identification and headlights; fire extinguisher, horn, reflector mirror, tires, speedometer and windshield wiper. In addition the drivers were examined as to their familiarity with the Commission's R ules; as to th eir age, appearance, efficiency an d hours on duty.
T otal num ber of vehicles recorded during the survey a t the 25 points were classified as follows;
