Doerun Freight Rate Dispute With Railroad Board
A dispute in Doeren Georgia over freight charges on stoves and other goods arose after a new tariff went into effect October 1905. A.Local railroad official had charged pre tariff rates, prompting A C Howard merchant to seek correction. Railroad Commissioner Joseph M Brown and other officials reviewed the case, with letters exchanged between Howard and the commission. After investigation and correspondence with the Georgia Northern and related lines, it was indicated the current rates from Nashville to Doeran and other routes reflected adjustments in October 1905, with Howard asserting discrepancies. A conference was held and officials reported findings to Howard.
