The Commission on June 19, 1935, issued its rule nisi against the Atlanta Birming ham and Coast Railroad; Central of Georgia Railway; Seaboard Air Line Railroad; Savannah and Atlanta Railway and Southern Railway Company to show cause why terminal use charge should not be revised, and same came on for a hearing, and after considering the evidence issued the following order:

GEORGIA PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION ATLANTA
IN RE: T erminal Use Charge

File No. 6-10 Docket 902-A

BY THE COMMISSION:

The Commission on the 19th day of June, 1935, issued its rule nisi against the Atlanta, Birmingham & Coast Railroad, Atlanta, Georgia; Atlantic Coast Line Rail road, Wilmington, North Carolina; Central of Georgia Railroad, Savannah, Georgia; Seaboard Air Line Railroad, Norfolk, Virginia; Savannah & Atlanta Railway, Savan nah, Georgia; Southern Railway, Atlanta, Georgia, to show cause on June 8, 1935, why terminal use charge should not be revised, and same came on for hearing on said date, at which time it was heard in part and recessed for a period of thirty days.

This hearing was resumed on August 6, 1935, at which time evidence was intro duced both on behalf of complainants and respondents.

This Commission, after considering the evidence introduced before it, found that the respondents' wharves located in the city of Savannah and the city of Bruns wick, Georgia, have been dedicated to the public use.

The Commission also found that the terminal use charge for logs, moving by trucks, as it appears in the evidence of the record, was unreasonable and unjust. It is therefore,

ORDERED BY THE COMMISSION : That the terminal use charge of 5c. per 100 lbs. as an additional charge over and above the regular charge for wharfage and handling that is now being collected for the transportation of logs moving by trucks into the ports of Savannah and Brunswick, Georgia, be, and the same is hereby elimi nated. This order effective September 10, 1935.

IN RE:

R evision of R ates fob E lectrical Service under Schedule " C-l" FILED BY THE GEORGIA POWER CoM-
fany as " Original Sheet N o. 19" .

BY THE COMMISSION:

The Commission on October 20th, 1934, issued a rule nisi directed to the Georgia Power Company to show cause why the prevailing rate Schedule " C-l" should not
be revised.

The Georgia Power Company was notified to appear on November 23rd, by post ponement of the date November 20th, first set in the rule nisi. The Georgia Power Company appeared, filed its answer and thereupon the hearing proceeded to a close.

During the hearing it was developed that operators of grist mills, corn mills and the like considered themselves discriminated against in that their rate is higher than
the " C - l# " Schedule which applies to cotton gins.

The Commission has considered all of the evidence and the record pertaining to this hearing and upon such consideration, it finds that the " C-l" rate insofar as it applies to grist mills, corn mills and the like is excessive, unjust and unreasonable.

The Commission further finds th a t the application of the " C-l" Schedule to such users is reasonable, just, and commensurate with the value of such service and that an order in accordance herewith should issue to become effective on meter readings on and after March 1st, 1935.

TO THE GEORGIA POWER COMPANY:

You are hereby advised that the C ommission on this date made its findings where in it determines that application of the " C-l" Schedule to operators of grist mills, corn mills and the like is unreasonable and excessive and that the rates applicable for such service should be the same as those ch arged for service to cotton gins under Schedule "C -l# " filed with the Commission as "Original Sheet No. 20".

I t further finds that under the heading "Applicability" in the Schedule " C - l# " there should be included "grist mills, corn mills and the like", to make the sentence read "All customers using power for cotton gins, grist mills, corn mills and the like."

I t further finds that this Schedule "C - l ^ " should become applicable for service to grist mills, corn mills and the like effective on meter readings made on and after March 1st, 1935, for consumption of current wholly vdthin the month of February, subject to the further order of this Commission, and you are,

Docket 581-A

IN RE: R evision of Commercial Service Schedules.

BY THE COMMISSION:

The Commission on November 24, 1934, issued its nisi directed to all power companies operating within the State of Georgia to show;, cause on December 10, 1934, why prevailing rates under their commercial schedules should not be reduced. Appearance under the nisi was postponed from time to time until on April 8, 1935, the Commission proceeded with the hearing of these matters as they affected the Georgia Power Company.

Testimony pertinent to the investigation was taken and the record was closed on April 9.

After due consideration of all the evidence, facts and circumstances as they re late to the furnishing of this class of service to the public, who are the customers of the Georgia Power Company, and after considering the cost of rendering such service and the value of such service to the public, the Commission has made its findings as follows:

That certain of the present schedules of rates and charges heretofore filed by the Georgia Power Company as being applicable for commercial service are unjust, unreasonable, excessive, and not conducive to the proper development of usage on the part of this class of customers and should be reduced, and

That the basic schedules of rates hereto attached and marked Schedule "B", Schedule "B-l", and Schedule "B-3", superseding the present schedules "B", "B-l", "B-2" and "B-3" are just, fair and reasonable; are commensurate with the value of service to this class of customers and will remove a discrimination now existing against this class of customers. I t is therefore,

7

ORDERED BY THE COMMISSION: That the Georgia Power Company is hereby directed to file schedules of rates applicable for its commercial service in harmony with these findings, and essentially as shown on the schedules hereto at tached. These rates shall become effective on meter readings made on and after July 15, 1935, for consumption on and after June 15, 1935.

On February 14, 1935, the Commission issued its rule nisi against the Southern Bell Telephone & Telegraph Company to show cause why toll charges for long distance service within the State of Georgia should not be reduced. After a hearing on June 4, 1935, and consideration of the evidence, the Commission issued the following Order.

File 16375. Docket No. 694-A.

IN RE: BY THE COMMISSION:

R evision of L ong D istance T oll Charges I ntrastate Betw een P oints Within the State Of Georgia

The Commission on February 14, 1935, issued its nisi directed to the Southern

Bell Telephone & Telegraph Company to show cause on February 25, 1935, why toll

charges for long distance service within the State of Georgia should not be reduced.

The hearing was postponed from time to time until on June 4, 1935, the matter

was heard, the Southern Bell Telephone & Telegraph Company being present and pre

senting testimony.. The hearing was concluded and the record closed on the same date.

After due consideration of all the evidence, facts and circumstances as they re

late to the furnishing of long distance service and the charges made therefor, the Commission finds as follows:

That the toll charges now in effect are unjust, unreasonable and excessive and

are not conductive to the proper development of the usage on the part of the public of this service, and should be reduced, and

That the tariffs hereto attached, marked Exhibit "A" are just, fair and reason

able; and commensurate with the value of the service. It is, therefore,

ORDERED BY THE COMMISSION, That the Southern Bell Telephone &

Telegraph Company shall establish and file tariffs for long distance toll service in

harmony with these findings and as shown on the Exhibit hereto attached. These tariffs shall become effective on and after July 1, 1935.

BY ORDER OF THE GEORGIA PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION, this the 10th day of June, 1935.

After a hearing and consideration of the evidence introduced on application of the Atlanta Gas Light Company for approval of the issuance by it of notes, bonds or other evidence of debt for the purpose of enabling it to procure and sell various appli ances and mechanisms used and useful in the sale and distribution of natural gas to the members of the public served by it, the Commission issued the following order:

File 16866-2.

Docket No. 786-A.

IN RE:

Application of the Atlanta Gas Light Company for approval to
issue new corporate securities
NOT EXCEEDING FlVE HUNDRED T housand D ollars.

BY THE COMMISSION:

The petition of Atlanta Gas Light Company for approval of the issuance by it of notes, bonds or other evidences of debt for the purpose of enabling it to procure and sell various appliances and mechanisms used and useful in the sale and distribution of natural gas to the members of the Public serviced by it has been read and con sidered.

I t has been made to appear to this Commission that said petition was duly filed with it on the 10th day of April, 1935; that an order was entered by this Commission setting a time and place for hearing of said petition and requiring publication thereof; and it being made to appear that notice of the time, place and nature of said hearing

22

has been published in the Fulton County Daily Report, the newspaper in which the sheriff's advertisements are usually published; th at said publication was made in the manner and to the extent required by the order of this Commission; and that said notice has likewise been published in the Atlanta Constitution, Atlanta Journal and Atlanta Georgian, which are newspapers of general circulation published in Fulton County, Georgia.

There being no objections filed to the petition, the Commission, after hearing the evidence, finds that it is reasonably necessary that the Atlanta Gas Light Com pany be allowed to issue its notes, bonds or other evidences of debt for the purpose of enabling it to acquire appliances for the use of natural gas and to sell the said appli ances to those customers on installment payments, said installment payments to run according to their respective contracts for periods not exceeding forty-eight (48) months. It appears from the record, made before the Commission that the indebted ness sought to be incurred is to provide funds for the non-utility enterprise of the petitioner and further that there is no reasonable probability that any additional burden will be placed on the utility customers of petitioner by reason thereof.

The notes, bonds or other evidences of debt to be issued by the Atlanta Gas Light Company shall be secured by the hypothecation of contracts of the kind above re ferred to, procured or to be procured by Atlanta Gas Light Company in the sale or dealing with the installment contracts of sale for appliances for the serving of natural gas, in which contracts the title to said appliances shall be reserved in the Gas Com
pany.

It further appearing to this Commission that the Atlanta Gas Light Company desires to issue its notes, bonds or other evidence of debt secured as aforesaid in amounts varing from time to time, but for the maximum amount of five hundred thousand ($500,000.) dollars par value outstanding at any one time; said notes, bonds or other evidences of debt to bear interest at a rate not exceeding six per centum per
annum; and

It being made to appear further to this Commission that the Board of Directors of Atlanta Gas Light Company has authorized the issuance, sale and negotitation of the aforementioned securities; and that a copy of the proposed form ofacontract se curing the evidences of debt to be issued by the Atlanta Gas Light Company, setting out the methods, and the instrumentalities proposed to carry into effect the purposes expressed in said petition, has been paid before this Commission;

IT IS ORDERED: That the prayers of the petition of Atlanta Ga,s Light Com pany be granted and that it be permitted to issue from time to time, its notes, bonds or other evidences of debt payable over periods of not longer than forty-eight (48) months from date of issue; said evidences of debt to be secured by the deposit of con tracts which have been, or may hereafter be, acquired by the Atlanta Gas Light Com pany in the sale of gas appliances on installment bases as referred to in its said pe tition. Said notes, bonds, or other evidences of debt may be issued from time to time and in such amounts as may then be best suited to the conditions and circumstances of the petitioner, limited only by the fact that not more than five hundred thousand ($500,000) dollars par value of such notes, bonds or other evidences of debt due more than twelve months from their respective dates shall be outstanding and unpaid, at
any one time.

Petitioner is directed to file reports of its acts and doings in this behalf at the end of each six months' period from the date of this order, and to make such further reports in reference thereto as this Commission may deem necessary.

BY ORDER OF THE GEORGIA PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION, this 30th day of April, 1935.

On May 15, 1935, the Macon Gas Company petitioned the Commission for ap proval of the issuance by it of notes for the purpose of enabling it to procure and sell various appliances and mechanisms used and useful in the sale and distribution of natural gas to the members of the public served by it and same came on for a hearing on June 1, 1935, and after consideration of the record, the following order was issued.

IN RE:

P etition of M acon Gas Company FOR APPROVAL OF ITS APPLICATION TO ISSUE NEW CORPORATE SECURITIES NOT EXCEEDING ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS.

BY THE COMMISSION:
The petition of Macon Gas Company for approval of the issuance by it of notes for the purpose of enabling it to procure and sell various appliances and merchanisms used and useful in the sale and distribution of natural gas to the members of the pub lic served by it has been read and considered.

. And it appearing that Atlanta Gas Light Company, by leave of this Commis sion, did on the 13th day of September 1935, file an amendment to its said original petition;

The Commission, after hearing evidence and after considering said petition as amended, and the evidence, finds that:

1. The present capitalization of Atlanta Gas Light Company is as follows:

In addition to the above and foregoing the Georgia Public Service Commission is charged with the duty and vested with the authority to supervise the Western & Atlantic Railroad Property, which is now under lease to the Nashville, Chattanooga & St. Louis Railway. The Commission up until March 28, 1935, was charged with the control and supervision of the State owned properties located in Chattapooga, Tennessee, but on said date an Act was approved placing the control and supervision of said property under the "State Properties Commission", to be composed of the Chairman of the Public Service Commission, the Governor of the State of Georgia. Prior to the enactment of this Act a committee was appointed by Chairman Wilhoit to inspect said properties. The report of this committee will be found elsewhere in the 62nd Annual Report of the Commission. During the year 1935 there was a total sum expended for additions and betterments in the maintenance of the Western & Atlantic Railroad Property amounting to $10,745.37.
The Commission in addition to the regulation of rates charged by Gas, Tele phone, Electric, Railroad Utilities is charged with administration of the Motor Car rier Acts of 1931. These laws have been carefully and rigidly administered.

CONCLUSION
The Commission in previous volumes of its reports, up through the 60th, made a practice to incorporate the statutes applicable to the Commission, but in view of the fact that the new Code of the laws had been adopted by the General Assembly, this practice was discontinued in its 61st and 62nd Reports. The Commission at this time deems it advisable to omit the copying of these laws in this report for the reason stated above and for the further reason it would be a useless expenditure. It also considers it a useless expenditure to copy the rules and regulations governing the operations of Motor Carriers as these rules can be obtained in pamphlet form upon request.
Respectfully Submitted,

The Commission as presently constituted, consists of Honorable Jud P. Wilhoit,. Chairman, Walter R. McDonald, James A. Perry, Matt L. McWhorter and Perry T,, Knight, Commissioners, Commissioners Knight, McWhorter and Perry having taken office succeeding Commissioners Ben T. Huiet, J. J. E. Anderson and Thos. K. Davis, on the 16th day of November, 1936, having been elected at the general election and succeeded the Commissioners aforesaid for their unexpired terms, and as to Com missioners Knight and Perry, they were elected at the same time for a full term of six years.
Yours very truly,

GEORGIA PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION.

The Commission on January 16, 1936, instructed Chairman Wilhoit to send the following notice to all Utilities operating in the State of Georgia:

NOTICE

January 16, 1936.

The Georgia Public Service Commission in specific rate investigations of Utili ties operating in the State of Georgia has in the past expressly disallowed, as an operat ing expense, fees paid to Holding Companies for purported services rendered to Operat ing Companies where the charge was based on a percentage of the revenues of th e Operating Company.

The Commission now reaffirms this position and for the information of all Utili ties operating in the State of Georgia, states its attitude in this question--

In the future, the Georgia Public Service Commission will expressly disallow, as an operating expense of any Utility operating in the State of Georgia, any blanket charge for alleged managerial, technical, financial, or other service.

, When fees for services rendered by the Holding Company are intended to be charged as an operating expense, they must be supported by statements setting forth m detail each act of service charged for; and must show:

1. That the Holding Company rendering the service incurred an out-of-pocket expense for the benefit of the owned Compapy.

2. That the expense so incurred was reasonably necessary to the efficient opera tion of the owned Company and was not a duplication of service which the owned Company was, or should have been capable of performing for itself.

That the act of service for which the charge w;as assessed was reasonably beneficial to the owned Company in its rendition of service to the public.

ELECTRIC UTILITIES The Commission after consideration of the record on Application of the Georgia Power & Light Company for authority to borrow money from the United States Government through the Rural Electrification Administration on a twenty year note and loan contract in the maximum sum of $109,200.00, voted to issue the following order:

BY THE COMMISSION:

The effective date of the original Order of the Commission of May 12, in the above entitled case, to become effective on and after June 15, 1935, is hereby post poned to a date to be hereinafter fixed by the Commission.

BY ORDER OF THE GEORGIA PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION, this the 10th day of June, 1936.

J. M. F orrester, Secretary.

J. P- Wilhoit, Chairman.

The Trunk Line Railroads operating within the State of Georgia, after this Com mission had instituted an investigation into the rates on fertilizer ^nd fertilizer ma terials and after a full and complete hearing, wrote its opinion and issued its order prescribing fair, just and reasonable rates for the movement of said commodities to, from and between points within the State of Georgia, filed application with the Inter state Commerce Commission under the 13th Section of the Transportation Act, fol lowing the order of the Georgia Commission, in an effort to break clown the rates prescribed by this Commission, After a hearing by the Interstate Commerce Com mission on the above application an order and finding was made on January 13, 1936, in which was held that the Georgia Intrastate rates were below the Interstate and should be increased, and if said intrastate rates are not increased by January 27, 1936, the matter may be brought to the Interstate Commerce Commission for further attention, with the view to the entry of an order.
This Commission in view of the above finding entered the following:
Docket No. 26950.
IN RE: Railroad F reight R ates on Ferti lizer and F ertilizer M aterial.
The Georgia Public Service Commission instituted an investigation into the rates on fertilizer and fertilizer materials and after a full an4 complete hearing, wrote its opinion and issued its order prescribing fair, just and reasonable rates for the move ment of said commodities to, from, and between points within the State of Georgia.
The trunk line railroads operating within the State of Georgia filed application with the Interstate Commerce Commission under the 13th Section of the Transporta tion Act, following the issuance of the Order, in an endeavor to strike down the rates prescribed by this Commission.
At a hearing held in Atlanta, Georgia, before an Interstate Commerce Com mission Examiner, the shippers and carriers substantially duplicated the testimony previously given before the Georgia Commission and in addition, the Georgia Com mission introduced testimony showing the importance of fertilizer to the well being of agriculture in the State.
The Georgia Commission also showed in its testimony the use of fertilizer in Geor gia, the reduction in tonnage and revenue to the carriers from the transportation of
7

fertilizer during recent years; the high rates on the movement of fertilizer when com pared with the ability of the traffic to pay the charges; the deflection of large amounts of tonnage of fertilizer and fertilizer materials to trucks at rates lower than the inter state basis, and the relatively high rate on fertilizer and fertilizer materials when compared with the rates of other products on which voluntary reductions had been
made by the carriers to recover tonnage from the trucks.

On the 13th day of January, 1936, the Interstate Commerce Commission issued its findings and order in the case before them and held that the Georgia intrastate rates that were below the interstate rates should be increased and in its order said: "if the prescribed corrective intrastate rates are not established by January 27, 1936, the matter may be brought to our further attention with the view to the entry of an
order."

The Georgia Commission, was, at the time of the issuance if its order after its hearing was held, of the opinion that the evidence required a reduction in the rates on fertilizer and fertilizer materials intrastate in Georgia and no evidence has been produced on any subsequent hearing which would authorize a change of that opinion.

The Constitution and laws of Georgia lay upon this Commission the duty of prescribing just, fair and reasonable freight rates. This Commission cannot law fully delegate this authority to any other body nor can it substitute the opinion of any other Commission for the independent judgment which it must exercise.

The Georgia Commission is of the opinion that to prescribe a higher rate on fertilizer and fertilizer materials than the rates prescribed by them in their order would be a detriment to the farmers and th railroads of Georgia.

The Georgia Commission is of the opinion that the Interstate Commerce Com mission is clinging to a fallacious theory when they are of the opinion that an in creased rate means increased revenue to the railroads. This theory has been thor oughly disapproved by the experience of the railroads in recent years and the Geor gia Commission in exercising the duty devolving upon it by law cannot join the In terstate Commerce Commission in a blind policy which it believes will lead to the economic suicide of this vital transportation agency.

The Georgia Commission is of the opinion that an increase of these rates w,ill be unfair, unjust and unreasonable to the farmers who pay the freight on fertilizer, in that the price of this necessary commodity will be increased if he uses the railroads as a transportation agency and he will be thus driven to use trucks to move this pro duct, and unfair, unjust and unreasonable to the railroads in that these high rates will deflect this valuable tonnage to other forms of transportation and the revenues
of the carriers will thereby be subtantially reduced.

Upon this premise the Georgia Commission respectfully, but firmly, declines to increase the intrastate rates in Georgia on fertilizer and fertilizer materials in accord ance with the finding of the Interstate Commerce Commission.

SO ORDERED, This 25th day of January, 1936.

J. M. F orrester, Secretary.

J. P. Wilhoit,

Chairman.

All Steam Railroads operating in Georgia filed application with the Georgia Public Service Commission to permit the same increases in Intrastate freight rates and charges as were approved on interstate freight rates and charges as were approved on interstate traffic by the Interstate Commerce Commission in Emergency freight charges 1935, Ex Parte 115, effective April 18, 1935, and ending June 30, 1936, which increases amounted to approximately 10%. After a hearing on said application the following was issued in connection therewith.
8

Docket No. 841-A.
I n the M atter Application of Carriers by Steam R ailroad to permit same
INCREASES IN INTRASTATE FR E IG H T R A TES AND CHARGES AS W ERE APPROVED ON
I nterstate T raffic by the I nterstate Commerce Commission in E mergency F reight Charges 1935--Ex P arte 115.
On March 26, 1935, the Interstate Commerce Commission granted carriers by steam railroad a general increase in interstate freight rates effective beginning April 18, 1935, and ending June 30, 1936. As applied to Southern territory, the increase amounts to approximately 10%.
After the order of the Interstate Commerce Commission aforesaid was entered, the railroads operating within the State of Georgia petitioned the Georgia Public Service Commission to grant increases on traffic; moving intrastate between points within the State of Georgia in the same proportion as had been allowed and per mitted by the Interstate Commerce Commission applicable on interstate traffic. This petition of the carriers was filed with the Georgia Public Service Commission on April 6, 1935. A hearing on this petition was assigned for June 10, 1935, and in support of their application for said increases in freight rates, the carriers so apply ing offered no oral testimony but invoked the entire transcript of the record, consist ing of oral testimony and documentary evidence, made before the Interstate Com merce Commission in its investigation in Ex Parte 115.
While all of the documentary evidence so invoked was not actually tendered at the hearing before the Georgia Commission, the carriers at said hearing indicated that the same would be procured and furnished to the Georgia Commission and the Georgia Commission agreed to accept and consider the same when filed by the car riers. The carriers offered no other or further testimony and closed their case. The Georgia Commission then received testimony or evidence from various shippers pro testing the increase applied for. After several weeks had elapsed, to wit, on or about August 6, 1935, the Georgia Commission by letter called attention of counsel for the carriers to the fact th at the entire record s made before the Interstate Commerce Commission in its hearing as invoked by the carriers in the hearing before the Georgia Commission had not been furnished and the Georgia Commission thereupon made specific request that the carriers who invoked the record made before the Interstate Commerce Commission as evidence to be considered by the Georgia Commission supply it with certain exhibits which had not been furnished.
The carriers having failed to furnish the Georgia Commission wrjth the requested evidence, said Commission again, to wit, on August 29, 1935, called attention of counsel for carriers to the fact th at the record had not been completed and that it would be necessary that the additional exhibits comprising the evidence so invoked be furnished before a final adjudication of the matter could be had. The additional evidence requested by the Georgia Commission was never furnished.
In the meanwhile, the carriers had filed with the Interstate Commerce Commis sion an application under the provisions of Section 3 and 13 of the Interstate Commerce Act and although the application aforesaid was pending before the Georgia Commis sion, the Interstate Commerce Commission on May 13, 1935, issued its order under Docket No. 26992 directing that an investigation be instituted upon its own motion to determine whether the rates and charges of any and all common carriers by rail road operating in Georgia made or imposed by authority of the State of Georgia cause or will cause, by reason of the failure of such rates and charges to include increases corresponding to those permitted by the Commission for interstate traffic in Ex Parte 115, Emergency Freight Charges 1935 and undue or unreasonable advantage, pref erences, or prejudice as between persons or localities in intrastate commerce on the one hand, and interstate or foreign commerce on the other hand, or any undue, un reasonable or unjust discrimination against interstate or foreign commerce.
After the order so issued by the Interstate Commerce Commission as aforesaid, a hearing thereon was conducted by an examiner of the Interstate Commerce Com-
9

mission in the City of Atlanta, Georgia, on October 7th and 8th, 1935. At that hear ing, the Georgia Commission made it known to the Interstate Commerce Commis sion that the application had been made and was then pending before it as aforesaid and that the Georgia Commission's investigation had not been completed and that by reason of the failure on the part of the applicant carriers to furnish to it the evidence so invoked it had not had an opportunity to discharge its duty under the laws and constitution of this State of Georgia. At said hearing the carriers introduced evidence which, as the record discloses, was not introduced before the Georgia Commission on the hearing of their application for the increase in rates.

I t is now brought to the attention of the Georgia Public Service Commission that on January 6, 1936, the Interstate Commerce Commission made and filed a find ing in its Docket No. 26992 and being the proceeding instituted by Georgia Carriers under Sections 13 and 3 of the Interstate Commerce Act as aforesaid. The finding of the Interstate Commerce Commission, as this Commission has been advised, among other things, is^that in view of the emergency charges which became effective inter state in the freight rates and charges under the findings of the Interstate Commerce Commission in Emergency Freight Charges 1935 that the Carriers' intrastate rates and charges in Georgia on the same classes and commodities, to which no correspond ing emergency charges have been added, result and will result in unjust discrimina tion against interstate commerce, etc., and it is stated in the finding of the Inter state Commerce Commission that:

"An order will be entered in accordance with the foregoing findings un less the Georgia Public Service Commission notifies us on or before Janu ary 25, 1936, that they will promptly permit the increases herein re quired."

Under the Constitution and laws of Georgia, this Commission is granted the power, and charged with the duty, of.making reasonable and just rates of freight and passenger tariffs to be observed by all railroad companies doing business in the State of Georgia and applicable to all movements between points in said State. The power and authority to determine what are just and reasonable rates is vested exclusively in this Commission and the power so vested in it and the duty required, of it under the Constitution, and laws aforesaid cannot be delegated to any other person, agency or administrative board.

The Georgia Commission further is without power or authority un4er the Con stitution and laws of Georgia to approve any rate or schedule of rates, or permit the same to be charged by any carrier transporting freight or passengers between points in the State of Georgia unless such rate or schedule of rates is shown to be reasonable and just, and since this Commission has not been furnished with evidence which will enable it to form its own independent judgment as to the reasonableness and just ness of a scale of intrastate rates formed by increasing the present intrastate rate level by the amount permitted by the Interstate Commerce Commission in Ex Parte 115 in the case of Interstate traffic, it cannot accept or adopt as its Own the findings or order of said. Commission.

Accordingly, the Georgia Public Service Commission must decline to make a finding or issue an order permitting the increases in intrastate rates as requested by the carriers and as suggested by the Interstate Commerce Commission in its order aforesaid unless and until evidence be produced which in the opinion and judgment of the members of this Commission will authorize or justify a finding that such rates ^fhen applied will be reasonable and just. On the contrary, the finding a.nd order of this Commission will be withheld until the carriers deliver to the Georgia Com mission the evidence which was invoked by them but not furnished and the Commis sion will receive and consider any additional evidence that will assist the Commis sion in a proper determination of this matter if the carriers or shippers desire to offer the same.

SO ORDERED, this 24th day of January, 1936.

voted to issue the following order: File 16287-2. Docket No. 1418-A.

IN RE:

Application op T he T ennessee E lectric P ower Company for Au thority to issue Securities.

This matter was heard before the Commission on June 8th and together with the application, The Tennessee Electric Power Company submitted for consideration various Exhibits, among which Exhibit *E was a certified copy of the Opinion and Order" of The Railroad and Public Utilities Commission of the State of Tennessee, under which authority was granted to the Company to issue Securities in accordance with an application entirely similar to that now made to the Georgia Public Service
Commission, under restrictions, however, as to the selling price thereof.

nessee, while a small portion thereof lies in Georgia.

The Commission has considered all of the evidence and finds that,

WHEREAS, original jurisdiction and first responsibility should and does mst with the Railroad and Public Utilities Commission of the State of Tennessee, and

WHEREAS, The Railroad and Public Utilities Commission of the State of Tennessee has, with benefit of complete records and equipped with judicial knowledge as to the operation of this Company, made its findings and given its approval to the issuance of the Securities sought to be approved.

NOW THEREFORE, the Georgia Public Service Commission in so far as Geor gia properties are concerned, accepts the findings of The Railroad and Public Utilities Commission of the State of Tennessee and grants its consent to the issuance and sale by The Tennessee Electric Power Company of $4,728,500 of First and Refunding Mortgage Gold Bonds, in accordance ijrith the Order of The Railroad and Public

| After consideration of the record of the hearing on rule nisi issued by the Com mission on September 24, 1935, against the Georgia Power Company to show cause why Industrial rates should not be reduced, voted to issue the following order:

File 16374. Docket No. 1044-A.

IN RE: T ransformer R ental Charges.

BY THE COMMISSION:

The Commission on September 24, 1935, issued a Rule Nisi directed to the Georgia Power Company to show cause why Industrial Rates should not be reduced. One phase of this^inquiry related^ not to the rate schedules as such, but to the charges made by the Utility for providing Customer Sub-stations to Industrial consumers who would otherwise be required to furnish and maintain their own transformation equipment or sub-station.

Hearing was had on this particular matter on March 18, 1936, and after care ful consideration of all the evidence, the Commission finds as follows:

1. All so-called "Transformer Rental" charges should cease.

2. All Standard Customer Sub-station equipment essential for a single trans formation. and now, owned by the Customer, in whole or in part, should be ac quired. or replaced, by the Utility within a period not exceeding five years. Stand ard equipment is such as is generally used by the Utility in the transformation of electricity from transmission voltages, lying between 11,000 and 44,000 volts inclusive to secondary voltages of 220,500 or 2300 volts.

3. Acquisition of Customer Sub-stations should be based on present value under agreements, the terms of which would, be reasonably uniform for all parties, developed, insofar as practicable, according to definite schedules submitted for review by the Commission. For special cases, proposed terms should be sub mitted for the consideration and approval of the Commission.

4. Additions to Fixed Capital growing out of these transactions should be recorded in detail in the appropriate Annual Reports, there being set forth capacities, characteristics and life of the major plant elements acquired.

5- In the future, the Utility should furnish at its own expense. Standard Sub stations for the reasonable requirements of all Primary Industrial or Wholesale Customers, provided, however, that the Utility is safeguarded by reasonable guarantees on t,he part of the Customer against loss by suspension of activities during the first five years of service to that particular Customer.

6. Special Sub-station equipment, as that term is herein used, shall mean all equipment of characteristics other than those of Standard equipment as set forth m Paragraph 2, equipment for transformation beyond the meter center, dupli cate equipment and other devices not ordinarily used for regular installations. When a ^customer requires Special Sub-station equipment, he should provide this at his own expense, and the Utility should maintain it exclusive, however, of the replacement of Non-standard equipment or parts, and no maintenance need be provided by the Utility on equipment in excess of that usually required for the predominant load of the Customer.

An appropriate order will issue.

This the 28tfi day of May, 1936.

File 16973-A. Docket No. 1503-A.
TO THE SOUTHEASTERN TELEPHONE COMPANY OF GEORGIA
IN RE: R ural Lines of the Southeastern T elephone Company out of P erry, U nadilla and Marshallville.
BY THE COMMISSION:
The above matter came on for hearing on September 14th upon complaint of citizens and subscribers to the service, and at the conclusion of the hearing the Com mission instructed its Consulting Engineer, Mr. Curtis A. Mees; its Electrical Engi neer, Mr. N . Knowles Davis; and its Field, Engineer, Mr. R. B. Alford, to make an inspection of the physical properties and service as it pertained to rural lines from these communities.
The Commission finds that these rural lines have been permitted to deteriorate from lack of maintenance to the point that it is impossible for the company to render adequate service over them, and
15

The Commission also finds that it is impossible for the maintenance man cover ing this territory to properly maintain these lines in their present condition with this present equipment.

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED : That the Southeastern Telephone Company shall proceed to rebuild these rural lines so that satisfactory service can be rendered and maintained, and

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED: That the Southeastern Telephone Company shall place on this work a construction crew for the work necessary to be done to place this system in such shape that the regular maintenance man can in the future ade quately maintain the same.

The Commission, after consideration of the evidence introduced at the hearing on complaint of citizens of Montezuma, Georgia, regarding service by Southeastern Telephone Company, issued the following finding and order.
File 16973-4. Docket No. 1498-A.
TO THE SOUTHEASTERN TELEPHONE COMPANY OF GEORGIA:
IN RE: Communication service in montezuma.
BY THE COMMISSION: The above matter came on for hearing before the Commission on the 14th of
September and at the conclusion of the hearing the Commission instructed its Con sulting Engineer, Mr. Curtis A. Mees; its Electrical Engineer, Mr. N. Knowles Davis and its Field Engineer, Mr. R. B. Alford, to make an inspection of the physical condi tion of the plant and methods of operation of the Montezuma Exchange, which report was submitted to the Commission on September 24th.
The matter having been fully heard, the inspection having been made and re ported, the Commission now proceeds, subject to receipt of the information requested from the Company as to operating revenues and expenses and calling rates in the Exchange, to issue this its preliminary Order.
The Commission finds: That the plaint of the Company is not being ade quately and satisfactorily maintained at the present time, that there are parts of the plant's equipment that are worn and should be replaced and that there are many items of the plant which should be repaired. This is especially true of the switchboard, instruments in service and aerial lines.
That the maintenance man is without facilities expeditiously to do ajl the work required.
That the Company should start an educational campaign among its subscribers to acquaint them with the fact that "ringing off" is essential to the rendition of satis factory service, and that reasonable tree trimming is necessary where there are aerial lines.
That the rural lines of the Company are broken down and so inadequately main tained that in their present condition satisfactory rural service could not be rendered.
16

The Commission also has reason to believe that a stock of materials and sup plies necessary to the satisfactory maintenance of service is not kept at a point con venient to the Montezuma Exchange. .

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED: That the Southeastern Telephone Com pany of Georgia shall forthwith preceed with an educational campaign among its subscribers to relieve the situation as to ringing off, and as to the necessity for tree trimming to the proper operation of the system, a,nd

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED: To proceed forthwith with replacement or the placing in proper condition of its switchboard and the aerial lines throughout the city of Montezuma so that satisfactory service can be rendered to its subscribers, and

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED: That rural lines terminating in this Exchange be put in proper operating condition so that adequate service may be rendered, and

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED : That the company equip its maintenance man with sufficient tools, materials and supplies to handle any and all work properly to be performed by him and, in order quickly to relieve the present deplorable condition, that the services of the maintenance man' be supplemented by a construction crew to such time as he may be able himself to handle all ordinary troubles.

Reserving the right for a final order to be issued in this case but under instruc tion for the Telephone Company to proceed at once with the work herein ordered, the Commission issues this its Preliminary Order.
