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.

President, Central of Georgia Railway Company.
