the co-operation of the road’s patrons,
new efficiency records are being estab¬

Central of Georgia Railway Shows Improvement In
Service To Shippers
The transportation of persons and property it attended by certain in¬
evitable difficulties and hazards which do not handicap ordinary business;
conducted from a fixed habitation. The public naturally does not under¬
stand the extent and variety of these difficulties and is chiefly interested
in results. Transportation is engaged in a continual warfare against those
forces that might prevent it from being safe, adequate and dependable.
Reference has been made in these statements to the progress made by
the Central of Georgia toward the goal that is always before it—perfection
of service. It has been shown that the passenger trains lack only a little
of one hundred per cent, maintenance of schedules; that losses to baggage
are negligible; that passengers have been so safeguarded as to prevent
any fatality for more than six years.
Business men are interested in another branch of the service—the
handling and delivery of freight without loss, damage or delay—and here
also excellent progress has been made by the Central of Georgia. Every
class of shipper suffers by loss and damage to freight and is benefitted
by the reduction of those items of wastage. The general public has a direct
interest because this unnecessary drain upon railway resources must be
added to the transportation bill of the nation, to say nothing of the annoy¬
ance and inconvenience of damaged shipments.
In 1916, the Central of Georgia Railway Company paid out in freight
claims the sum of $54,698.00. There followed a period marked by a de¬
cline in morale—a period marked likewise by an alarming growth in loss
and damage claims, until in 1920 these registered more than ten fold in¬
crease and reached the astounding figure of $597,483. The rise in commod¬
ity prices was reflected in these payments, but doubtless the principal fac¬
tor in this unhappy result was human behavior, demoralized by the excite¬
ment of war activities.
With the restoration of railway property to its owners, the prevention
of loss and damage was taken vigorously in hand by the railways. The
Central of Georgia, for instance, established a special department, the
purpose of which is to have freight so handled that it will reach its destina¬
tion in the same order and condition that it left its point of origin. No
method of education or co-operation is neglected. Reports are required,
bulletins are issued, motion pictures are displayed, meetings are held
with the object of stopping the waste and securing “continued co-opera¬
tion,” which is our slogan for the current year.
The year 1920 with its loss and damage claims of $597,483 marked the
peak. In 1921 this amount was decreased to $375,707. But this total was
still far too great and represented a payment for loss and damage of one
cent out of each dollar received as freight revenue. The campaign was con¬
tinued through 1922 and last year the payments showed a further de¬
crease to $199,123—a reduction of $176,584 or nearly fifty per cent. Last
year .therefore, less than three quarters of a cent out of each dollar re¬
ceived from freight revenue was paid out for loss and damage. Our em¬
ployes have pledged themselves to still further reduction for 1923, though
few railways can boast of so low a ratio of claim payments.
Acknowledgment is gratefully made of the co-operation of patrons
which has enabled the management to bring down the losses from nearly
six hundred thousand dollars in 1920 to less than two hundred thousand
dollars in 1922—a reduction of 66 per cent.
Shippers of freight have responded to the railway’s plea for co-opera¬
tion with well directed efforts. This help has been evidenced in many ways
such as the accurate marking and filling in the bills of lading; by the erad¬
ication of old marks on packages; by careful packing of cases; by correct
bracing, crating and banding; by wire strapping and the use of proper con¬
tainers. Insecure and careless packing of freight is invitation to theft,
as well as inadequate protection against transportaton hazards.
The Central of Georgia takes pride in its record of handling freight
accurately, prompt and safely. It proposes to give even better service in
the future than in the past. To this end it welcomes the aid of shippers,
whose interest in this matter is as great or greater than that of the railway.
Constructive criticisms and suggestions are invited.
