Freight Rates In Georgia
The proposition of the railroads for a re
vision of Georgia freight rates contemplates
the observance of the long and short haul
principle, which would place Georgia rates
substantially on a mileage basis, so that
all towns, small and large, would fare alike.
The leveling process which the observance
of the long and short haul principle requires,
would result in numerous and substantial
reductions on important classes of traffic, as
the following will show:
