OF C. TRAFFIC DEPARTMEKT Lettei* Sent To Merchants Announcing Plans For Fight Against Freight Rate Discriminations. FOR PUBLIC’S BENEFIT Rates on Bananas, Coal, Cotton and Other Com modities, Also Improper Passenger Conditions, Investigated. Although It has been In existence only a few days, the traffic depart ment of the Chamber of Commerce under the direction of Mr. C. A. Bland, traffic manager has already accomplished much good for the com mercial interests of Augusta. The traffic manager has prepared a cir cular letter which has been mailed to every business man in the city, and in it is expressed the willingness of the traffic department to take up the fight of any person who is being im posed upon by a public service cor poration. The letter signed by Mr. Bland reads as follows: Augusta, Ga, Nov. 19th, 1909. Dear Sis: I desire to call your at tention to the fact, that at a meeting of the board of directors, held Nov. 15th, it was decided to establish a Traffio Bureau, with myself in charge. The object of the bureau is to handle any and all disputes with transpor tation companies, both river and rail, also, with illuminating and power companies, express, telephone and telegraph companies, all of which are under the Jurisdiction of the railroad commissions of Georgia and South Carolina, as well as the interstate commerce commission. All matters pertaining to rates, classification, claims, switching etc . that cannot be disposed cf satisfactorily, should be referred to this office for adjustment. Tt will be the purpose of the bureau to look after the interests of Augus ta. in all matters mentioned above, and I shall be glad to have you con fer with me freely, in person, by let ter or phone, in order that I may be able to render such assistance, as mn" be possible. Hoping to have your full co-opera tion, I beg to remain, Respectfully. 'Signed) CHAS. A. BLAND. Traffic Manager. Mr. Bland has his office at the Chamber of Commerce, and during the past few days he has been kept busy making an examination of and writing to the railroads concerning discriminations against Augusta on the following rates: Bananas from Charleston, fertilizers to stations in South Carolina, furniture to eastern and western points, sewer pipe, less than carload lots, to various points, and coal from the mines of east Ten nessee. On the passenger end of the railroad discriminxtion against Au gusta, Mr. Bland hVs written to the general passenger ag\nts of the Geor gia railroad, the Nashville, Chatta nooga and St. Louis railway and the Louisville and Nashville railroad ask ing that the sleeping car service be tween Augusta and western points be increased. At present the Char leston and Western Carolina after noon train for Charleston leaves ten minutes before the arrival of the Georgia railroad train in the after noon from Atlanta, thus depriving passengers bound to Charleston and way-points on the former road of a proper connection. The traffic man ager desires that the Charleston and Western Carolina train wait in Au gusta ten mintues, and thus a new route between the west and Charles ton will be established via Augusta. MRS.
