Georgia railroad seeks third fare increase before rail commission
Atlanta April 28 Special representatives of the Georgia railroad petition for a 2 14 cent per mile passenger fare rise before the railroad commission, with a general hearing set for May 12. They argue the 2 12 cent rate is discriminatory and that current lower rates have not boosted travel or revenues, noting the lease as a loss maker. General Manager Scott and Major Cumming urge the commission to focus on public service and fair earnings, while noting the lease cost and deficits. The hearing will clarify why written opinions may be issued for declines, a potential legal shift.
