The train had finally emerged
from the blackness of a long tunnel.
The conductor noticed a young
couple both of whom were appar*
•ntly quite flustered and the young
roman was nervously rearranging
her disheveled hair.
Thinking to put them at ease, the
conductor remarked pleasantly: “Did
>u know that the tunnel we just
ime through cost $12,000,000?”
"Did it?” inquired the girl. Then
she added after a pause, “well it
worth it.”
TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM RE.
GINS NEW ERA SAYS CENTRAL
MEAD
That this country’s transportation
system is at the beginning of an
era of marked development and
change is the assertion of President
John J. Pelley of the Central of Geor
gia Railway in a statement published
today. Declaring that new agenta of
transportation, the automobile and
the aeroplane, are supplementing
efficiently such established agenta as
the railroads and steamships, he pre
dicts that proper co-ordination of
these will make America’s transporta
tion system even better than before.
“Change# n the transportation situ
ation become increasingly apparent”
says Mr. Pelley. “The railroad re
mains the principal means of moving
freight or passengers in volume, or
between distant points, but more and
more persons are using automobiles
and busses, particularly for short dis-
tances. Little local or short haul
passenger traffic is now handled by
the railroads. In 1927 the Central
of Georgia handled fewer passengers
than in any year since 1901, and
1928 shows still further declines.”
Discussing economies necesrary be- j
cause of decreasing passenger re-
ceipts, Mr. Pelley says that the Cen
tral of Georgia and many other rail
roads have had to propose the elimi
nation of certain local trains. These
trains whose limited patronage

’ jib indicated there is no general need
for their continuance, in fbet i
tngB have been far below the cost of
their operation. This Mr. Pelley
attributes to use of ether means of
transportation, automobiles and buss
es, by persons formerly using the
trains. Neither freight service nor
any other branch of railroad opera
tion is to profitable as to produce
surplus earning* to apply against the
deficit caused by operation of
self-Mipporting trains. Unless these
trains can he eliminated, he says, the
deficit must be met through abandon-
ment of necessary improvement
maintenance work, curtailment of
purchases of needed equipment, or
similar undesirable economies.
"To prevent wasteful duplication
of service, the Transportation Act
prohibits a railroad from building a
new line until it proves the proposed
service is necessary” states Mr.
Pelley. “This common sense provis
ion should govern not noly new ser
vice but the continuance of establish
ed service for which patronage indi
cates no real necessity. There is no
e justice in requiring a railroad
to continue such service than in re
quiring a bus or truck line, or in
fact any other public utility, to main
tain service which the public does
not use to such an extent an to make
it self-supporting.”
