Georgia Rate Control Through Lease Powers Over Western and Atlantic
Georgia uses its lease hold over the Western and Atlantic railroad to fix maximum through rates Chattanooga to Atlanta. The 1890 lease requires pricing in line with Georgia Railroad Commission rules, ensuring no discrimination and giving connecting roads fair access. The arrangement positions Georgia to leverage water transport to influence inland rate structures and protect commercial independence. The policy, shaped by Joseph M. Brown, aims to keep freight costs low and uniform across the Southeast, with potential wider effects on state prosperity.
