ANDERSON, ( Authorized Ford Dealer CENTRAL OF GEORGIA TELLS OF IMPROVED CONDITIONS IN ITS TERRITORY Improved conditions in the territory served by the Central of Georgia Railway Company are striking ly reflected in the increased traffic-handled by the road. The Central of Georgia Rail way Company showed an increase Ixi freight business for 1922. Freight traffic (measured by the number of tons of freight carried one mile) increased only 9 3-4 per cent for all of the ciass 1 railroads in 1922 as compared to 1921, but the Central of Georgia registered ah increase of 13 2-3 percent This increase in freight business made possible the Central of Georgia’s favorable showing in total operatiig revenues for 1922 in the face of the fact that on the aybr^ge freight-rates were lower' than in 1921. The revenue in 1923 for hauling a Ion of freight one mile is 3-9-—100 cents, a reduction of ,17.4 percent from the revenue received in 1922 which was. 1-32—100 cents. Since the first of tliis year the traffic of the Central of Georgia Railway Company, both freight, and passenger, has increased. sub stantially over that handled for the corresponding period of last year. The number of tons of freight carried one mile by tbe Central of Georgia Railway Company fo| the 7 months ended July 31, 1923. was greater by 46)4 per cent than the freight; traffic handled in the first 7 months in 1922 Passenger traffic (measured by the number of passengers carried one mile) on this Central of Georgia Railway in the 7 months ended July 31,1923, was greater by 12)4 per cent than the passenger traffic handled in the first 7 months in 1922. In September, 1922, we established a row record for volume of business handled, surpassing the previous peak recorded in October, 1920. During each month of the past twelve oiir business has exceeded the high mark qf any preceding year. The Central of Georgia Railway Company enters the fall and winter.better prepared than ever before to discharge its Obligations to the public.

Despite the growth of passenger and freight traffic' in its territory, the Central of Georgia Railway Company has kept abreast of the situation so well, through additions and improvements to its plant'and through the splendid co operation of its employes and patrons, that this years unprecedented business has been bandied with marked efficiency. Obe index of efficiency is the “average miles per car per day.” On the Central of Georgia this figure has been more than 30 during the entire past year, and in Septem-^ ber, the month just closed, it reached 35 miles— a record not equaled by any other railway in this terri tory, and by few roa.dsin the United States. “30 miles per car per day” was fixed by the American Rail- way Assooiation as the goal of efficient operation to be reached by the railroads this year. It is a source of no little satisfaction to us that the Central of Georgia has gone beyond this figure. The public should understand -that “miles per car per day” does not represent the actual distance traveled by a freight car in a train. It takes into account the total number of cars on the line—'those being loaded and un loaded, those standing at terminals and in sidings, even those in the shops for repairs. These latter classesaverage more than 57 per cent of the total. As a matter of fact, the average speed ef all freight trains, through and local, on the Central of Georgia in September, 1923, was 13 miles per hour. This exceptional showing speaks for itself. It should be a source of gratification to the patrons as well as to the employes of the Central of Georgia Railway Company, represents joint effort and joint success. No small part of the credit goes to shippers and consignees for their prompt loading and un loading of cars. It is not alone a gain for our railroad; it is a splendid record for the territory our rai! road serves. Constructive criticism and suggestions are invited! W. A.
