Wi^’ be sold before the court house door in said county on the first Tuesday in August, 1925, during the ’egal hours of sale, to the highest bidder for cash, the following describ ed property, to-wit: CENTRAL OF GEORGIA DISCUSSES REQUIRE MENTS FOR BETTER TRANSPORTATION In fulfilling its obligation to render satisfactory service a railroad finds it necessary to continually enlarge and improve its facilities and equipment. Railroad equipment not only wears out but becomes obsolete. Better facilities and improved rolling stock require huge expenditures annually. Some of these result in the reduction of operating costs and are justified by increased efficiency and economy. Other expenditures result in improvement of the service and are justified by greater comfort, conven ience and safety to the traveling public. In either event, if the expanding needs of bus iness are to be met and if the demands of the public are to be fulfilled, the railroads must be permitted to earn such returns as will attract investors. New capital must continually be secured, and capital cannot be coerced—capital can only be attracted to railroad stocks and bonds by assurances as to the safety of the investment and of reasonable dividends. Illustrating these truths by the experience of the Central of Georgia it would be possible for this railroad to continue the use of its present passenger train cars for a number of years to come, but the public, even on branch lines, desires and expects steel coaches, electric lighted, vestibuled and steam heated instead of wooden coaches, lighted by oil or gas, and heated by stoves. It is, therefore, the policy of the Central of Georgia to add annually, as rapidly as its financial condition justifies, the most modern passenger equipment. The public expects and demands continual improvement to passenger stations. Where depots are of wooden construction or of small size there is insistence that they be replaced by structures of mod ern design and that train sheds afford protection from the weather. While there is no pressure upon railway mana cement for undue speed, the public has come to ex pect, as a matter of course, fast trains that will operate on time for the handling of both passengers and freight. This takes for granted numerous factors that entail large outlays such as good roadbed, heavy steel rail, large locomotives, steel and concrete bridges and trestles, built to sustain increased weights and speeds of engines and cars, safety devices such as block signals, and finally a personnel that shall be characterized both by efficiency and courtesy. The tools, machinery and facilities essential to satisfactory service cost money and the human element, if of the high type expected, must be well paid. The Central of Georgia does not consider the traveling public unreasonable in anticipating a high standard of service. We take both pride and pleasu re in measuring up to the anticipation of our pa trons and we hope to continue to do so even in -he face of a steadily decreasing passenger traffic due to improved highways and automobile competition. It has been our experience that the public, with higher standards of living, desires adequate and de pendable transportation rather than cheaper transportation. If the railways are to continue to supply trans portation of the type that the public expects and de mands, they in turn must receive such rates and must be accorded such treatment by the various regu latory agencies interpreting public policy as to sec ure the flow of new capital upon which their future depends. Constructive criticism and suggestions are invited. L. A. DOWNS, President, Central of Georgia Railway Company. Savannah, Georgia, July 7, 1925.
