The Synopsis of a Bill agreed to
by Senate R. R. Committee
Aug- 28, 1885
A bill to be entitled an Act to
alter and amend an Act, approved
October 14, 1879, entitled "an Act
to provide for the regulation of
railroad freight and passenger tar
iffs m tuis slate; to prevent unjust
disirimination* and extortion in
the rates charged for the tranepor
tation of passengers and freights,
and to prohibit railroad lessees companies
corpoiations and in this
state from charging other than
just and reasoueble rates, and to
punish the same, and to prescribe
a mode of procedure and rules ol
evidence in relation thereto; and
to appoint commissioners, and to
prescribe their powers and Unties
in relation to the same,’' the said
Act being also inc trporated in the
C.-de of Georgia of 1882, and des
ignated in said Code as 719 (a) to
719 (p) inclusive, said Act, by repealing sec
tion 5 of known as sec¬
tion 719 (e) of said Code of Georgia,
also, by repealing section 6 of said
Act, known as Section 719 (f) of
said Code of Georgia, also by
amending section 12 of said Act,
known as section 719 (1) of said
Code of Georgia; and also by in¬
serting in lieu of said repealed sec
tions other sections prescribing
the jurisdiction, Railroad powers and duties
ot the Commissioners,
providing for appeals from the
rulings and decisions of said com¬
missioners, and requiring the vari¬
ous rai road companies doing busi
ne s in this state to make and pub
!i«h schedules of just and reasona
ble rates and tariffs, aud for other
Sec. 1. The bill asks that the
law giving the Railroad commiss¬
ioners power to prescribe he rates
of freighis aud passenger tariffs,
and rules and rem ations to be
observed by all railroad companies
doing business in this state be re¬
pealed. And that commissioneis
appointed authorized as originally prescribed
shall be to make such
jnst and reasonable rules and reg
ul-'tions as may be necessary for
preventing unjust, discrimination
in the transportation cf freights
and passengers on the railroads of
this state and to fix the proportion
of difference in rates to be allowed
for longer and shorter distances
on the same or different railroads
in this state, and to prescribe what
shall be the limits for Ipnger and
snorter distances; and that they
shall be authorized to make such
just : and reasonable rales of
cedure the hearing of pro¬
for and de
termining complaints them as hereinafter
provided for, as to may seem
meet and proper.
Sec. 2. That the several railroad
corporations doiiu- business in
this state be required schedule to make
each for itself a of fast
and reasonable rates of charges
for the transportation of passen¬
gers and freights railroads and oars this on the
respective of state,
and whenever any railroad corpo¬
ration shall do any act to ‘deceive
the public, the person, effected town, thereby city
or corporation with commissioners
may file the
appointed under the act of which
this act is amendatory, a in oetition full
in writing setting out all
the wrongs complained of, which
complaint shall be tried befoie
said commissioners, and should
either party be dissatisfied with
any part of the proceedings of the
commissioners, such party shall
have the right to appeal to the su¬
perior court of the county where
the
Sec. 3. That the term ‘railroad
corporation’ or ‘railroad company’
shall be deemed and taken to mean
all corporations, companies or in¬
dividuals, receiver or receivers which do#
owning or operaling. or railroad
may own or operate ahy
in whole or in part iD this state.
Sec. 4. That no increase of
freight or passenger rates shall go
into effect until thiity days after
the beginning of the advertisement
of this act.
See. 5. That all laws and parts
of laws in conflict with this act be
and the same are hereby repeal¬
ed.
The above is but a brief synopsis
of the bill now pending in the leg¬
islature and which we "hope will
pass. The most important change
in the present law, is the right of
either party to appeal adjudication
of the commissioners to a higher
comt,for as the law now is, the
commissioners have almost unlim¬
ited power. Also we think the
mode for regulating the rates of
charges is beUerjthanjthe present

speak of the bill more extensive
