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 n«% •» a.iW a m am/4 /] 1 A. am i I, n t • 4. 1 z-\ 4? 4- i i a maim 4.

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. f W. A.
