Georgia rail fare cut plan is rejected by 3 to 2 vote
The Georgia Public Service Commission defeated a proposed rail passenger fare reduction and removal of the Pullman surcharge by an 8 to 2 vote. Chairman Jay Perry and Commissioner A J Woodruff supported the plan, while Perry Knight Walter McDonald and Jule Felton opposed it. The measure called for a flat 2 cents per mile fare on one way trips and 3 cents per mile for round trips with a $15 1,000 mile book, plus full removal of the wartime surcharge. The dissent cited that such rate cuts could not be enacted and urged petitions to the Interstate Commerce Commission instead. The commission said it would pursue investigations into electric power gas telephone and rail rates, warning against congested dockets and rushed decisions.
