IN SERVICE TO SHIPPERS
The transportation of persons and property is attended by certain inevitable difficulties and hazards
— 1 ir - in Uy
whioli do not handicap ordinary business; conducted from a fixed habitation. The pulic naturally ;doea
not understand the extent and variety of these difficulties and is chiefly ipterested in • results. Trans
portation is engaged in a continual warfare againsb those forces that inighf prevent it from being .‘safe,
adoquate and dependable.
Reference has been made in these statements to progress made by the Oentral of Georgia toward
the goal that is always before it—perfection of service. It has been shown that the passenger train-
lack only a little of one hundred per cent.maintenance of S(dieduje8;that losses, to baggage orNegligible}
that passengers have been so safeguarded as to prevent any fatality for more than six years.
Business men are interested in In another branch of the service—the handling and deliver^ of
freight without loss, damage or delay—and here also excellent progress has fceon made by thb Central of
Georgia, Every class of shipper suffers by loss and damage to freight and is heuefitted 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 incoveilieuce of damaged shipments.
In 1916 the Central of Georgia Railway Company paid out in freight claims the snm of $54,698.00.
There followed a period marked by a decline in morals—a period marked likewise by an alarming
growth in loss and damage claims, until in 1920 these registered more than a ten fold increase and
reached the astounding figure of $597,483. The rise in commodity prices was reflected in these increased
payments, but doubtless the principal factor in this unhappy result was human behavior, demoralised
by tho excitement 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 Cen.ral of Georgia, for instance, established a special
department, the purpose of which is to have freight so handled that it will reaoh its destination in the

same order and condition that it left its point of origin. No method education or co-operation. Reports
are required, bulletins are issued, motion pictures are displayed, meetings are held with the object of
stopping the waste and seouring “continued co-operation,” 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
decreased to $375,707. Bu t this total was still far too groat and represented a payment for loss and, dam
age of one cent out.of each dollar received as freight revenue. The campaign was continued through 1922
and last year the payments showed a further decrease to $199,123—a reduction of $176,684 or nearly
fifty percent. Last year, therefore, less than three quarters of a cent out of each dollar reoeived from,
.reight revenue was paid out for loss and damage. Our employes 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 manage*
ment to bring down the losses from uearly six hundred thousand dollars in 1920 to less than two hun*
drod thousand dollars in 1922—a reduction of 66 percent.
Shippers of freight have responded to the railway’s plea for co-oparation with well directed ; efforts.
This has been evidenced in many ways, such as the accurate marking and filling in of bills of landing:
by the eradication of old marks on packages; by careful packing of cases; by correct bracing, orating ana
banding; by wire strapping and the use of proper containers. Insecure and careless packing of freight is
an invitation to theft, as well as inadequate protection against transportation hazards.
The Central of Georgia takes pride in its record of handling freight accurately, promptly 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.
