appropriated 1500 for the purpose of

gathering data for their report.
This report will show what the coat

It. it will also show at what price the

expense, and whether the city could

to the people cheaper then It 1* now be
ing furnished.
It was thought that <f this repoit
showed that It was feasible for the city
t„ erect and operate a plant that some
provision would be made for that pur

be in the nature of calling for a bond
election for that purpose.
The great dexfiand tor a bond election

front unexpected sources, hAI brought
up the question, la the gas and electric

that It will foreetall an election for the

And do they argue that a 1500,000

Jn brief* prepared ahil *ubmltted tn
Judge Newman, of the Untied mat**
court for the Northern district of Geor
gia, by Attorney Wlmblsh. of Kill*.
Wlmblah A Ellis, who has been assist
ing Attorney General Hart In defending
the Georgia railroad Commission, II le
clearly shown that the 8outhem rail
way has lo a. great extent been doing
an extenslva Interstate business In
aeorgla at th* expense »r the Intra
state shipper*.
No litigation has ever been more In
teresting to the railroads doing busi
ness In Georgia than that whlrh grew
nut of circular No. 218. which aought to
cut down the preferentlale from 25 per
rent to 16 per cent, and against the
operation of whlrh the Southern and
other railroads secured an order re
straining the commission from putting
It Inin effect. Attorney General Hari
and Attorney Wlmblsh filed a demurrer
ami It waa sustained by‘Judge New
man In the Federal court two weeks
ago. The Case will he appealed to the
supreme court of the United States.
Reduced Preferential*.
When the preferentials were first
granted the order allowed the railroads
26 per cent. The recent era of pros
perity and the tremendous Increase In
trafflr, congesting the railroad yards,
caused the railroad commission to Issue
circular No. 212 last December, reduc
ing the preferential* tic 16 per cent. Th;
Injunction asked by th* railroads did
'hot say whether the rallfoada were
availing themselves of the full 25 per
cent Increase or why they were not.
and for (hla reason, among others, tho
demurrer wae sustained. Aa a matter
of fact, the railroads could not show
that they were availing themselves of
the full increase granted.
The great Injustice done shippers
within the border* hf the atate of Geor
gia by the Southern railroad, whereby
i orelgn competition le permitted at m«
expense of the Georgia shipper. Is
clearly shown tn eeveral Instances
These Instances also relate to the coat
of doing Intra-itate business as com
pared with that at Interstate business.
What Figure* 8hov*.
The following example will ehow how
much higher th* Intra-slate rate Is
than the Interstate proportion, based
upon actual facts and figures conceded
to be true:
A shipment of 1,040 pound* uf shoes
from Cincinnati to Albany. Os., via At
lanta Shoes being first class, the pro
portion of the through rate arcefiird for
the haul ffom Atlanta to Albany la
18.1 cents par 100 pounds. or-00.os. A
shipment of shoes of the same weight,
bulk and value la mad* from Atlanta to
Albany by an Atlanta shipper, th* rate
for which la 07 cents par too pounds or
20.70.
- The total revenue derived fromthaa*
two shipment* I* 210.01. Apply th* coat
of service, the average cost uf yip*ra
tion, which la 70 per cent of grois earn
ings, tb* coat of the two shipments la
27.40. Th* haul and the errvloe being
the same, one-half of thla coat, of
22.74, should be charged to each ahlp-
menl. Th# percentage of cost to gross
earnings la. therefore, 85.8 per cent of
tbs Intra-siatr. and 2210 of the inltr-
itate ramlnc*.
A car load of first class freight moves
from Cincinnati to Savannah, via At
lanta: and another car of the same
etas* move* in th* same train from At
lanta to Savannah. Tha proportion of
th* Uktaratat* rat* for tha haul from _ ,
Atlanta to Savannah la 80.4 cents per idenc* Sunday afternoon.
Savannah yields 41 cents per 100
pounds, or 1140.40 per car of 24,0.00
pound*; Tho _ total ..raviMiu* derived
from these two shipments la 2222.70, 70
per cent of which represents 8102.02 ae
the coat of ihe movement. Divide thle
coat equally and 211.82 la left aa the
actual coal of service for each car. The
percentage of cost to gross earnings la,
therefore. 15.0 per cent of th* Intra
state and 01.0 per rent of tha Inttratata
faming*.
A Mhlpment originate* In Cincinnati
for .Moron, Oa., pasting through Atlan.
ta. containing an assortment’ of one ton
each of first, second, third, fourth, fifth
and sixth clausa of freight. An Identi
cal shipment originate* In Atlanta for
the name destination. The average ac.
rspted for tha proportion of th* Inter,
stnie haul from >AUanta to Macon for
all ihe classes Is II.5 cents per 100
pound*. Thla shipment would, there
fore. pay 112.10 for th* proportion of
the haul from Atlanta to Macon.
The average rate on the Intra-atat*
.shipment from Atlanta to Macon Is
20.2 cents per 100 pounds; for 12,000
pounds tha revenue la 240.20 on th*
movement originating In Atlanta for
Macon. Tha total revenue la 020.10, 70
per rent of which, or 226.11, represent*
ike coat of tha movement. Divide this
cost equally between th* Cincinnati
movement and th* Atlanta movement,
and the average coat for each from At-
Innta to Macon I* 217.65. Jill* la 117
per cent of th* Interstate earning* and
18.2 par cent of the Intra-atat* earn
Inga.
.Many bthtr examples could be given,
hut these demonstrate the fact that the
Intra-atat* rata* are much higher than
the Interstate proportion for th* aam*
haul, and the percentage of operating
expenses lo gross earnings Is vary
much lus In the caw of the Intra-
atat* movement than, In that of th*
Interstate movement.
