Georgia Railroad Commission Denies Port Rate Petition
The Georgia Railroad Commission denied the Beck & Gregg Hardware Co and McCord-Stewart Co requests to cut 23 cent rates on special iron from Savannah to Atlanta.

The decision centers on interstate rate jurisdiction, with Governor-elect Brown noted for a similar earlier stance.
