The Petition for Two Cent Fares on
the Railroads Will be Heard by
the Commission Early in the
Coming Month.
Though the railroad commission has
not us yet fixed a definite d.y for hear
ing tiie petition of the Georgia Far
mer's Union for a reduction of the
passenger fare in Georgia to 2 cents,
i is pretty well settled that the hear
ing will take place early iu April,
probably April 3 or 4.
The commission eas decided to take
his matter up and settle it as soon
is expedient, but feels that it is due
are railroad companies of the slau
o give them a notice of thirty dajs
jefore going into it. Notices will be
■cat out today and it is safe Lo suy
that one of tiie dates mentioned wiu
e fixed* upon.
There is little doubt but that the
nearing will be held at that time
ifid. if some of the railroads
age postponmeat, this will not inter
ere wiih the hearing of tiie petition
era side of it, and from such of the
.allroads as ion be present, at lliul
’.fine.
It has been two years almost since
.tie railroad commission had ids last
nearing on the subject or passenger
fare. The decison was reached on
i une 8 1905. At that time Commis
doner Joseph M. Brown handed down
■in opinion in which he held (hat pas
-eager rates should be made on the
tame general basis as freight rates,
hat is ,the longer the haul the less
per mile, lie alsos stated at that time
lint the railroads had just had their
ncomes greatly reduced as a result
of extensive cults made in freight
ates, and he did not think the passen
;or reduction justified. However, it
a stated, they have had two years
a which to recuperate from the
reuctions made.
Commissioner Brown’s opinion ren
Tied at. that time Is as follows.
“While my judgement is clear that
passenger rates should lie made on the
same general basis as freight rates are
viz. that the longer the haul the
ic-ss per mile within reasonable lines
hould 0-e the rate yet, in view of
dm fact if. that the very recent
past, under the pressure of this com
mission, the .ratoadepmpanios of
Georgia have reducSrthe interstate
rates and afterwards the intraslate
rates, to an extent which wiil result
in the saving of hundreds of thousands
of dollars per annum to the people
of Georgia, I do not believe that it
would be, proper at the present time
to call upon the railway companies
to make a change in the passenger
rates in (he state.”
Thet railroad commission’s order is
sued at that time, June 8. 1905, was
as follow's: ®
“Upon consideration of the ques
tion by the commission at is meeting
this day, and ajjter hearing evidence
Ksifbmitted and arguments made, the
board is of the opinion that no change
should be made in t/io passenger rates
at the present time. By order of the
board: H. W. ITiil, Joseph M. Grown,
commissioners.
It will tie noticed by the foregoing
order that the commission did not
in any wise commit itself as to the
future, but simply did not think that
the change was Justiflat le at that par
ticular time.
