Central of Georgia Discusses Changing Conditions
in Country’s Transportation System
The transportation system of this country is now at the beginning of an era of development
and change comparable to that opening one hundred years ago when railroads firnt came into ex
igence. New agents of transportation—the automobile and the aeroplane—are supplementing
efficiently such established agents as the railroads and the steamships. This country has long had
the best and most economical transportation system in the world, and proper co-ordination of the
new and the old means of transportation will make that system even better than before .
- Results of changes in the transportation situation become increasingly apparent The railroad
remains the principal means of moving freight or passengers in volume, or between distant points,
but more and more persons arc using automobiles and busses as a means of getting from place to
•place, particularly for relatively short distances. Very little local or short haul passenger traffic
is now handled by the railroads. In 1927 the Central of Georgia's service was better than ever
before, but fewer passengers* used the railroad thu n in any year since 1901—while 1928 shows
etill further declines. •
The Central of Georgia makes no complaint because former patrons use other means of trans
portation, recognizing the public’s right to utilize that means of getting from place to place which
it considers best senes its needs. Railroads must adjust themselves to these changing conditions.
The law requires that the railroads be operated honestly, efficiently and economically, and the Cen
tral of Georgia complies literally with that law. Continuing decreases in its passenger receipts
make further economies not only legally but absolutely essential.
As an economy measure many railways, the Central of Georgia among them, propose to elim
inate certain local trair.j whose patronage has for some time been so limited as to show that there
js no general need for their continuance. Due to the availability of other means of transporta
tion, the patronage of some of these trains is so small that earnings are far below their cost of
operation. Continued operation iy a serious drain upon the railroad, and their elimination would
save money needed to maintain the present standard of efficient service.
For the past eight years railroad earnings have averaged only 4 1-2 per cent upon the prop
erty investment and no branch of the service produces surplus revenue that can be used to
maintain trains whoue earnings do not pay expenses. Continued operation of such trains means
a substantial deficit that must be met through abandonment of necessary improvement or mainten
ance work, curtailment of purchases of needed equipment or similar undesirable economies*
In its economy program the Central of Georgia requests the co-operation of its friends and
good of the greatest number of Its patrons. Rclvicc, but believes it is protecting the greatest
patrons. It is reluctant to abandon established seratively few will be inconvenienced by the elimina
tions proposed, whereas the whole territory would be adversely affected by lowering the standard
of service because of the financial drain involved through continuance of non-self-supporting train*
With a view to preventing wasteful duplication of service, the Transportation Act prohibits
a railroad from building any new line until it can prove that the proposed service is necessary for
public convenience. This is a common sense provision that should govern not only new service
but the continuance of established service for which patronage indicates there in no real neces
sity. There is no more justice in requiring a railroad to continue service fo. - which patronage shows
there is no real need thun in requiring a bus or truck line, or any other public utility, to maintain
Constructive criticism and suggestions arc invited.

Remember—
You can’t paint a house with applesauce!
“Cheap" paint is low-priced-pes-gallon, yeij. But it isn’t cheap
on the wall. When you figure so-called “cheap” paint by the cost
of the job, it’s the most expensive you can buy. On the other
hand, fine old SWP House Paint saves you money every time.
Because “cheap” paint covers so stingily, more gallons are
needed on a job. Then it gives out so quickly that you have
to pay the cost of repainting two, three, or even more times
to SWP’s once. And SWP gives you a rich, more beautiful job.
For best results and lowest costs, use—
