Central of Georgia Railway Gives Comparisons In
Regard To Rates And Costs.
Any one who compares the present costs of producing railway service with pre-war costs and com
pares the present rates charged for that service with pre-war rates will be struck by the fact that rail
way service is being sold now at rates relatively low er than before the war.
Below ure the results of some representative comparisons as applied to this railroad for a 10-year
yttriod. The Central of Georgia Railway in 1923 paid—
s2.ls for the same quantity of locomotive coal that it paid s\.oo for in 1913.
$2.18 for the same quantity of materials and supplies, other than coal, that it paid $1 for in 1913.
$1.92 in taxes for every dollar paid in 1913. ' ,
$2.05 for the same number of hours of labor that it paid SI.OO for in 1913. * ’ *
$1.98 of the purchase price of locomotives for each SI.OO in 1913. til
$2.15 of the purchase price of cars for each SI.OO in 1913. **
In transportation rates the increase is not so large. General increases in the southern territory
have brought the freight rates to a level 41 per cent higher, and passenger rates 44 per cent higher,
than in 1913. These increases compare, us noted above, in dollurs and cents with increases in costs of
CIS per cent for locomotive coal. 118 per cent for materials and supplies, other than coal, 92 per cent in
crease for taxes, 105 per cent increase for labor, 98 per cent increase for locomotives, 115 per cent in
crease for cars.
cOiily through increased efficiency and the installation of modern cost-reducing facilities has it been
«
possible for the railroads to serve the public at the rates which they arc receiving and at the same time
to meet the greater increases in the prices which they are compelled to pay for the things they must
have to produce transportation.
The railroads have borrowed and expended many millions of dollars to improve their properties.
They have done this because of their faith in the fairness of the American people. Given time and a
chance to work out their destiny, the railroads will iemonstrate their ability to serve the public adequate
|y and at rates as low as are consistent with their costs of doing business.
•my Constructive criticism and suggestions are invited.
