Southern Classification Would Cost a Fortune in Legal Acts
Atlanta Ga Aug 31 Another feature of the pending freight rate problem with which Georgia is soon to be confronted came to light this morning. A petition is soon to be submitted by the carriers for permission to adopt and publish in Georgia a southern classification. Under state law no railroad classifications or tariffs can be effective until published in eight daily newspapers in as many cities. Printing the southern classification would cost Georgia not less than 50000 and possibly 68000. The 1900 Georgia classification cost about 1200 to 1500 and covered 600 articles. The southern classification will contain about 8000 articles and run 60 or more columns. An appropriation of 2000 is made to cover the year’s printing expenses. It is uncertain whether the petition will precede or follow a pending intra state freight rate revision.
