Passenger fare remains unchanged by railroad commission order
The Georgia railroad commission refused to reduce passenger rates from three cents a mile, keeping the fare in effect for now. The order, signed by Commissioner Hill and Joseph M Brown with J P Brown dissenting, notes no change to passenger rates at this time. A separate rehearing on marble rates led to permanent suspension of circular 303, preserving existing marble charges on the Atlanta Knoxville and Northern line. Plans for a new depot at Valdosta were discussed as part of ongoing commission consideration.
