Respectfully submitted, WILBUR C. KING, Chairman EDWIN L. MASON, Commissioner JERRY W. CARTER, Commissioner BOLLING C. STANLEY, Executive Secretary. ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANT M. L. Fawbush EXECUTIVE SECRETARY Bolling C. Stanley LEGAL DEPARTMENT Lewis W. Petteway RATE DEPARTMENT I. T. Williams FINANCE DEPARTMENT Fred H. Romig ENGINEERING .DEPARTMENT Henry J. Svika TRANSPORTATION DEPARTMENT A. E. Pooser THE COMMISSION Chairman WILBUR C. KING Commissioner Commissioner EDWIN L. MASON JERRY W. CARTER II E q In 0lemorp of EDWIN THOMAS HAMIL 1903-1959 For his outstanding service to the State of Florida and the Florida Railroad and Public Utilities Commission while Director of Transportation. FLORIDA RAILROAD & PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION 9 NATURE AND SCOPE OF OPERATIONS The Railroad and Public Utilities Commission and its operations are legally authorized by Article V, Section 35, Florida Constitution, and Chapter 317, 320, 323, 347, 350, 352, 360, 364, 365, 366, 367, and 368 of the Florida Statutes. One of the primary functions delegated to the Commission is the determination of fair and reasonable rates for consumers, customers, operators and owners of privately owned utilities in Florida. The utilities, by category, include gas, electric, telephone and telegraph, water, sewer, bus and truck common carriers, railroad common carriers including ex- press and pullman companies, ferries, toll bridges and canal companies. Rate determinations are made pursuant to public hearings usually held in the various locations most vitally affected in the state. The Commission is also responsible for the safety of Florida citizens. Commission investigators patrol the highways of the state and inspect buses and trucks to insure the safety of vehicular equipment and opera- tion. Vehicles found unsafe are immediately barred from the highway until the safety infraction has been corrected. Commission engineers are responsible for enforcing Florida laws rela- tive to the gas piping system installations as well as electric and telephone transmission and distribution installations to insure compliance with established safety codes. Rolling equipment and rail operations are also examined by the Com- mission's railroad inspector to aid in rail safety. It is also the Commission's responsibility under the statutes to prevent the illegal transportation of freight by non-certificated motor transporta- tion companies, "Bootleg" operators are apprehended where possible, brought before the courts of this state and punished when proven guilty of such illegal operations. In conjunction with such enforcement activities the Commission licenses and supervises auto transportation brokers oper- ating in the State. Other functions of importance to Florida citizens are performed by the Commission but are too numerous to mention and define in this report. Most utilities regulated by the Commission are required to file formal reports regarding their operations at the end of the year. At the close of 1960, the following types and number of utilities filed such reports: Electric Com panies ......... ............ ......................... ............. 4 Electric & Gas Companies .......................... ................................. 1 G as Com panies .............................................................. ................... 13 Class "A" Railroads .... .... .................................................................. 7 Class "C" Railroads ..................................................... ................... 9 10 FIFTY-NINTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE Florida Bridge Company ................................... ........ 1 Pullman Company ...................................... .. ................... 1 Western Union ...............-.... ....... -............. 1 Kinzie Brothers Steamer Line .............. ....-...------.-----... 1 Class "A" & "B" Telephone Companies .........................----........-- 14 Class "D" Telephone Companies ............................. ................... 4 Class I Transportation Companies of Passenger .................-..... 7 Class I Transportation Companies of Freight .................-............ 8 Class I Transportation Companies of Passenger & Freight ........ 1 Class II Transportation Companies of Passenger ........................ 18 Class II Transportation Companies of Freight ...............-------------- 9 Water and Sewer Companies ....................... .............. 87* TOTAL ...... ...... ....................................186 *46 Certificated 41 Pending MAJOR EVENTS DURING BIENNIUM As stated in the Commission's last report, final decision of the rate increase application of Southeastern Telephone Company was pending further court litigation. Since then the Supreme Court of Florida refused to review the decision of the District Court of Appeal and this Commis- sion directed the utility to refund money collected by it under the circuit court's injunctive order. As a result, Southeastern Telephone Company issued 30,700 refund checks in the total amount of $977,491.19 to its subscribers. In other major rate matters General Telephone Company of Florida was awarded a gross increase in revenue of $1,620,495.00. The utility petitioned for a gross revenue increase of $4,000,000.00 or $2.379,505.00 more than was awarded by this Commission pursuant to a public hearing on the matter. The utilities appeal of this order of the Commission was denied by the Supreme Court. This Commission in June 1960 denied a petition on the part of the Florida Intrastate Rate Bureau in behalf of the common carrier truck lines in Florida for authority to increase their rates and charges on all classes and commodity rates by 10%. Such denial was based on unreliable separation of intra and interstate traffic on the part of applicant. A later application on the part of the Bureau for a 15% increase in such rates was granted in part when this Commission allowed a total of 7% increase in rates effective December 5, 1960. The introduction of natural gas in most of Florida in 1951 created the necessity for the Commission to set rates for gas distribution com- panies without the benefit of previous experience as a basis for setting such rates. As a result, temporary rates were established for a period of 6 C. H: C, z I- 'C 1- H z H C) FIFTY-NINTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE one year at the close of which hearings would be held to establish perma- nent rates on the basis of the various utility companies' operating expe- rience with natural gas. Initial hearings have been held for such utilities and final rate determinations are anticipated during 1961. Refunds were required to be made to the gas consumers of the Daytona Beach Division of the Houston Corporation after a Commission investi- gation and hearing showed that the utility unlawfully increased its minimum charge for manufactured gas from 550 to $1.50. The refund required covered over-collectons for a period of approximately six months and was repaid together with interest thereon at the rate of 6% per annum. During the period covered by this report, the Commission assumed regulation as to rates and services of privately owned water and sewer systems in Florida pursuant to Chapter 367, Florida Statutes. Jurisdiction over such utilities has placed an extremely heavy burden on the Com- mission's staff since there were no funds appropriated for any additional staff to perform this regulatory work although employment of such staff as might be required was authorized by the Legislature. At the close of 1960 the Commission has issued Certificates of Public Convenience and Necessity to 46 water and sewer companies and action was pending on 41 additional applications. These applications represent utilities in only six counties of the state that have elected to come under Commission jurisdiction. Two major rate reductions were ordered by the Commission during 1960. Florida Power and Light Company was ordered to reduce its annual gross revenues approximately $6,254,000.00. The reduction in rates to electric consumers of this utility were to become effective with all meter readings on and after January 1, 1961. The Commission also ordered Southern Bell Telephone and Telegraph, the largest telephone utility operating in the state, to reduce annual revenues by some $2,046,500.00. In accord with the Commission's order, the adjustments were to be accomplished within a three month period commencing with the billing period on and after November 21, 1960. The Commission and its staff also participated in three major cases before Federal Regulatory Agencies which affected Florida citizens. The Commission actively intervened before the Federal Power Commission in opposition to an increase in natural gas transmission rates which would ultimately increase the price of natural gas in Florida. Opposition was also entered before the Interstate Commerce Commission against an in- crease in refrigeration rates which would adversely affect Florida growers of perishable fruits and vegetables. Due to the adverse effect on all Florida shippers which might result, the Commission has also actively intervened in the so-called "Southern Divisions" case in which an attempt is being FLORIDA RAILROAD & PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION 13 made by northern railroads to attain a greater share of revenues from southern shipments by railroad than previously authorized. Other actions of great importance but too numerous to mention spe- cifically in this report were performed by the Commission during the period of the report. Office of the Executive Secretary As the chief administrative officer of the Commission, the Executive Secretary directs the handling of all official formal applications and mail addressed to the agency, records official Commission action and main- tains permanent record books. A primary function of this office is the preparation and issuance of notices to the public of the time and place where the Commissioners or an examiner of the Commission will conduct a public hearing on various applications or petitions filed with the Com- mission. During the biennium ending December 30, 1960, the Executive Secretary issued 410 notices of public hearings and in 68 cases, postpone- ment notices were issued. In addition, this office served 37 notices to parties which might be affected by joint applications to transfer certain certificates. During this biennium, 656 new applications and petitions were received and placed on the Commission's formal docket. Most of these applications and petitions require formal public hearings; however, 260 formal dockets were disposed of without a public hearing. The Executive Secretary also issued 986 formal Commission orders during the biennium. This total includes citation orders during the year 1959, which if included for the year 1960, would increase the total to 1248. Under the direction of the Executive Secretary, all fees payable to the Commission are received and deposited with the State Treasurer. Table I below shows the type and amount of fees collected during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1960.

In addition to routine duties, the secretaries keep all of the books and fiscal records for the Commission. The auditors conduct field audits of utilities, audit annual reports, analyze exhibits and testimony in all rate proceedings, compile data for cross examination, prepare the biennial budget, and conduct research into the fields of cost and finance. All of the major utilities are audited every three months for the most current twelve months' period. These companies represent approximately ninety per cent of the State's population served by privately owned utilities. Smaller utilities have been audited as often as possible with a limited staff, but not less than once a year. From these audits the Finance Department furnishes the Commission with a report of the earnings of utilities under its jurisdiction every three months. On April 1 of each year every utility is required to file an annual report for the previous calendar year. These reports are meticulously audited, are used in further research, and selected statistics are compiled for inclusion in this printed report. During the past two years this Department's participation in rate proceedings has been extraordinarily heavy. In addition to cases on the state level, pursuant to the Commission's instructions, the Department has intervened in cases before Federal commissions where it was deemed the interest of the people of Florida would be served. These cases included rail refrigeration charges, the division of rail revenues between the North and South, a gas pipeline rate increase, and increases in Southern Bell depreciation rates. To enumerate the rate cases in which this Department participated would be cumbersome; however, over the past two years these assign- ments averaged approximately two cases a month. At the close of 1960 the current agenda for 1961, in addition to routine audits, includes rate cases involving every privately owned gas distributing company in Florida with the ultimate purpose of setting permanent rates, continued intervention in the gas pipeline rate case before the Federal Power Commission, intervention before the Interstate Commerce Com- mission on proposed increases on Florida citrus gift packages, analyzing a dispute between General Telephone Company of Florida and Southern Bell Telephone and Telegraph Company on the predicates used for appor- tioning toll revenues. This is the heaviest work load that has confronted the Commission and this Department at the beginning of any calendar year. Lad a NATURAL GAS PIPELINE CONSTRUCTION IN FLORIDA Legal Department The primary function of the Legal Department is to represent the Commission in all legal proceedings in the state and federal courts and in proceedings before federal administrative agencies. It also advises the Commissioners and the various departments of the Commission with respect to legal matters and attends and participates in all public hearings held by the Commission. The Legal Department prepares all formal orders in conformity with Commission action and prepares and assists in the presentation of proposed legislation. It supervises staff participation in all rate cases before the Commission and represents the general public interest in such matters. Although the Legal Department, during the period covered by this report, has participated extensively in litigation at all levels of the state judicial system and has represented the Commission on a number of occasions before federal courts and federal administrative agencies, its most vital function is defending those orders of the Commission which are appealed by certiorari to the Supreme Court of Florida. Several of the more important Supreme Court cases in which the Legal Department has participated during 1959 and 1960 are digested below: Fogarty Brothers Transfer, Inc. v. Boyd, 109 So. 2d 883, decided by the Supreme Court of Florida February 25, 1959, rehearing denied April 9, 1959. This case was brought before the court by a petition for a writ of certiorari filed on behalf of six motor freight common carriers for the purpose of reviewing an order of the Commission which adopted certain rules and regulations governing household goods carriers particularly with respect to the domiciling of their motor vehicle equipment. The peti- tioners' principal contention was that their certificates gave them the right to domicile their equipment anywhere in the State of Florida while the Commission's rule restricted them to domiciling equipment at one specific city and required them to show public convenience and necessity when they desired to domicile equipment at a new location. The Court held that the Commission's rules were within its specific or implied statu- tory power and did not deprive the petitioners of any rights. The Court concluded that petitioners had never had the right to domicile their equipment where they pleased and that their authority to transport household goods between all points and places in Florida did not give them the authority to domicile equipment at all points and places in Florida. Florida Rate Conference v. Florida Railroad and Public Utilities Commission, 108 So. 2d 601, decided by the Supreme Court of Florida January 9, 1959, rehearing denied February 23, 1959. This was a proceed- ing by certiorari to review an order of the Commission granting a rate increased to common carrier freight lines. The Commission in allowing an increase of 8.72% noted in its order that a separation study under- FIFTY-NINTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE taken by the applicant at the Commission's direction for the purpose of separating the interstate revenue and expenses of the carriers from their intrastate revenue and expenses was unreliable but still had to be used by the Commission in determining the amount of the rate increase that was awarded. The Court held that since the Commission had characterized a necessary part of the evidence in the case as being unreliable, the ulti- mate decision of the Commission was therefore not based on competent substantial evidence as required by law. On this basis the petition was granted and the Commission's order was quashed. Tropical Coach Line, Inc. v. Carter, 121 So. 2d 779, decided by the Supreme Court of Florida June 22, 1960, rehearing denied August 3, 1960. The Commission's order reviewed in this case declared that a certificate held by a particular carrier authorizing the transportation of passengers to dog and horse race tracks in Dade and Broward Counties made such carrier an intercity common carrier of passengers. As such it would have the authority and privilege of engaging in charter carriage. The petitioners contended that in order to enjoy the privileges of the intercity category a carrier had to render the services of what they called over-the-road transportation companies such as that performed by the Greyhound Cor- poration. The Court held that any common carrier which transported passengers from one incorporated city or town to or through another incorporated city or town was an intercity common carrier of passengers and was therefore entitled to engage in charter carriage. Greyhound Corporation v. Carter, 124 So. 2d 9, decided by the Supreme Court of Florida October 21, 1960, rehearing denied November 28, 1960. In this case The Greyhound Corporation sought the reversal of a Com- mission order granting to Tamiami Trail Tours, Inc., two extensions to its certificate of public convenience and necessity. The two extensions involved were from Gainesville to Jacksonville and from Canal Point to Jacksonville. In practical effect the first extension allowed Tamiami a through service from Jacksonville to Miami by way of Tampa and the West Coast, and the second extension allowed Tamiami a through service from Jacksonville by way of Canal Point to Miami. Greyhound already operated several schedules daily between Jacksonville and Gainesville although not over the particular route involved in this case. Greyhound also operated from Jacksonville to Miami along the East Coast and by way of Orlando, Canal Point and West Palm Beach. Greyhound's objec- tions to the granting of the extensions were based primarily on the con- tention that there was no competent substantial evidence justifying the extensions or proving that Greyhound had failed in its duty to the trav- eling public. The Court found that there was sufficient evidence to justify the Commission's decision and denied Greyhound's petition. Butler v. Carter, 123 So. 2d 313, decided by the Supreme Court of Florida September 21, 1960, rehearing denied October 17, 1960. In this case the Florida East Coast Railway Company sought the reversal of a FLORIDA RAILROAD & PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION 19 Commission order which had denied its application for authority to dis- continue a freight agency at Ormond Beach, Florida. Although the agency was a profitable one, the railway maintained that the public would not be inconvenienced by the discontinuance of the agency since the services which it performed could just as well be handled by the railway's Daytona Beach station a short distance away and that it should be allowed to enjoy the savings that would result from the discontinuance of the agency. The Commission found from the facts before it that the savings which might accrue to the applicant were outweighed by the need of the public for the services and facilities made available at the Ormond Beach station. The Court refused to disturb this finding and denied the railway's petition for writ of certiorari. United States of America v. Carter, 121 So. 2d 433, decided by the Supreme Court of Florida June 17, 1960. In this case the federal govern- ment through the United States District Attorney for the Northern Dis- trict of Florida sought to review by certiorari an order of the Commission to the effect that it had the authority to establish rates for the intrastate transportation of household goods and that the Florida carriers engaging in such transportation were prohibited from entering into arrangements with the United States Government for the transportation of such goods at any rate other than that stipulated in the approved tariff on file with the Commission. The Commission conceded that its authority did not extend to rates charged for the transportation of property owned by the United States Government but that it could establish and enforce rates for the transportation of property owned by service personnel even though such transportation was effected at government expense. The Court ruled that even the latter type of transportation was involved in the government's responsibility for maintaining the national defense and that the federal laws under which that responsibility was exercised, being the supreme law of the land, would take precedence over the state law authorizing the Commission to regulate intrastate transportation. Engineering Department The Commission organization is functional in its structure. The Engineering Department advises the Commissioners, General Counsel, Executive Secretary, Administrative Assistant, and Departmental Directors in all matters related to technical engineering functions. These functions encompass many responsibilities and operations, namely: Submission of recommendations on engineering and regulatory poli- cies pertaining to public utilities in the fields of electricity, gas, telephone and telegraph, private wire, water and sewer services; Drafting of rules and regulations governing services by the afore- mentioned public utilities; Analyses of all proposed utility rates or studies of all changes in rates filed by the public utilities (privately-owned, only); Preparation of professional testimony in formal docketed cases comprehending rates, tariffs, services, and certification proceedings; Measurement of the public utilities' services with respect to ade- quacy, reliability, safety, and studies reflecting the efficiency of the utilities' operations on both local and Statewide area basis; Engineering inspections and investigations on the valuation of utility plant and equipment, determining the accuracy of the re- corded original costs of the items of property, ascertaining that the plant is actually used in serving the public; Conducts the Commissions' complaints program involving electric, gas, telephone and telegraph, water and sewer services. Tariff vio- lations and related complaint matters are investigated by the staff or field engineers. Staff engineers represent the Commission at various conferences and negotiations with utilities, industries, municipalities, or individ- ual members of the general public; Participates in Civil Defense programs, engineering conferences conferences conducted by State and Federal agencies, public utility associations, and the National Association of Railroad and Utilities Commissioners. The Engineering Department maintains an active and complete public file of all utility tariffs which have been approved by the Commission. Included in the files are the monthly billing adjustments that the electric and gas utilities submit in compliance with their respective tariffs. These adjustments are thoroughly checked for any discrepancies. The electric utilities have methodically continued to grow over the 22 FIFTY-NINTH-ANNUAL-REPORT OF THE years. This is particularly true in the State of Florida in the categories of additional customers and increases in generating capacities. Presently the electric utilities in the State are increasing generating capacities by additional facilities on the basis of three-year forecasts. In other areas of the nation, five to ten-year forecasts are used. Charts 1 and 2 illustrate this uninterrupted growth for the years 1952 to 1959, inclusive. The construction of the natural gas transmission pipeline into the State of Florida and the tributary distribution pipelines within the State were completed in the year 1959. Since then additional pipeline tribu- taries have been added. With the arrival of natural gas in this State, many new problems were encountered during the year by the gas utilities, the Commission, and our Engineering Department. Among the manifold problems were the installation of gate stations connecting the tributary pipelines, the conversion of the former gas utilities to natural gas opera- tions, converting of appliances and equipment, retirement of old gas man- ufacturing plants, and initiating customers to therm billing practices. Fourteen gas companies filed natural gas tariffs which were approved by the Commission on a temporary basis pending a year of operating expe- rience. The Engineering Department is currently participating in the public hearings held by the Commission for the purpose of determining permanent rates for the natural gas utility companies. The continuous population growth in Florida has brought about many changes in the upgrading of telephone service in our State. Small com- munities have grown to be municipalities, and many former rural areas have developed into communities, not to mention the hundreds of new subdivisions constructed in various areas creating new municipalities particularly in the southern half of the State. Whereas five years ago it appeared unfeasible from a standpoint of economics to provide people in distant rural areas with telephone service, many of these same areas now have modern telephone facilities. The demand has been tremendous for one-party and two-party residence telephones. Many new central offices have been built and placed into operation during the past two years. Additions were made to existing telephone exchanges. The program of converting from manual to dial operation has likewise been accelerated and it is scheduled that the four remaining manual exchanges shall be converted to dial by the end of year 1961. Many lines of aerial wire have been reconstructed to aerial and buried cable, thereby improving the quality of transmission and affording facilities to accommodate this afore- mentioned growth. Chart 3 portrays this growth in the telephone utilities, by years, for the years 1950 to 1959. As of January 1, 1960, the twenty- one telephone companies certificated in the State of Florida reported a total of 1,837,941 stations served by 194 exchanges. Western Union is the predominating telegraph communications serv- ice in the State of Florida. They, too, have provided many improvements and modern telegraph facilities since the issue of the Commission's last CHART 1 TOTAL AVERAGE NUMBER OF ELECTRIC CUSTOMERS PER MONTH IN FLORIDA* 2 - 12 --'----,,--- - 8 7 5 - 5- -- --- -- --- -- -- -- 0 15 15 15 15 19 19 15 1952 1953 1954 1955 1956 1957 1958 1959 CALENDAR YEARS *INCLUDES PRIVATELY OWNED UTILITIES ONLY 23 CHART 2 TOTAL KILOWATT HOURS SOLD BY PRIVATELY OWNED ELECTRIC COMPANIES IN FLORIDA 1954 1955 1956 1957 1958 1959 CALENDAR YEARS CHART 3 TOTAL TELEPHONES IN OPERATION IN FLORIDA- 1950-1959 18 17 16 15 14 13 - 12 11_ 10 -------- ^- _-- --- ,,7 /-- 10- 7 CALENDAR YEARS 25 1950 1951 1952 1953 1954 1955 1956 1957 1958 1959 w I I I IIIIJI I ~7-TcfT~7Llcl FIFTY-NINTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE report. Among some of these accomplishments, Western Union installed 25 additional telegraph pair tie lines, 205 additional Deskfax tie lines. with Deskfax equipment at Pompano Beach, Hollywood, and Lakeland, where the Company did not previously have this type of service. The St. Augustine office was moved to a new location, and now has the latest operating equipment. Improvements were also made in their circuits to and from switching and message centers. Under the provisions of Chapter 365, Florida Statutes, the Commission is charged with the responsibility of approving all applications for private wire service. During the years 1959 and 1960, the Engineering Department, in conjunction with the State's Attorneys and the Attorney General of Florida, received, investigated, and processed approximately 260 applica- tions for service of this type. Since the enactment of the "Water and Sewer System Regulatory Act", six counties, namely Broward, Palm Beach, Seminole, Osceola, Santa Rosa and Volusia, have relinquished their jurisdiction to this Commission over the water and sewer companies in their respective counties. With the acquisition of these utilities, there was assumed by the Engineering Department a tremendous work load. Currently 33 water and 26 sewer utility companies have been certified by the Commission. Their tariffs and plant valuations shall necessitate comprehensive studies. The conduct of the Commission's complaint program is another func- tion of the Engineering Department. All complaints pertaining to elec- tricity, gas, telephone, telegraph, water, and sewer utilities and their related services are carefully studied and analyzed to determine what tariffs or rules and regulations of the utilities may have been violated. A report is completed on each complaint and the complainant is notified as to the results thereof.

Although there is no strict dichotomy of functions within the department, major efforts can be divided between transportation safety code enforcement and the prevention of illegal transportation of freight by noncertificated motor transportation companies. In the area of safety enforcement Commission investigators inspect buses and trucks operating over the highways of Florida. Any vehicle found to be in unsafe condition is immediately barred from using the highways until the safety infraction has been corrected. The twenty-five employees of the Commission who perform this work along with their other duties made 1862 safety inspections in 1959 and 3504 such inspec- tions in 1960. As a result of these inspections 947 safety citations were issued in 1959 and 1812 citations in 1960. It is the responsibility of the Transportation Department to apprehend motor vehicle operators in the State who violate the transportation laws by carrying property or persons without the expressed authority of the Commission granted pursuant to a public hearing. The only method of apprehension and arrest of such "bootleg" operators is by stopping vehicle operators and checking their authority, waybills and contents of trailers. With limited inspector personnel who perform other duties, transportation department investigators and supervisors made 993 arrests in 1959 which resulted in bonds posted in the counties of the State in the amount of $130,050.00. In 1960 1155 arrests were made resulting in bonds posted in the amount of $138,190.00. FLORIDA RAILROAD & PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION 29 TABLE I CRIMINAL BONDS POSTED BY COUNTIES Alachua ...........

': The Department has coopertted closely with the National Association of Transportation Specialists, and received recognition at the National Association of Railroad and Utilities Commissioner's national convention -io-95Tg pfei'"otff-ti elTyidt r.pdf n -ot and adoption of a uniform system of identification of vehicles. Under the Commission rule, all accidents involving personal injury, and all accidents involving property damage of $100.00 or more must be reported to the Commission. Table II is a compilation of the accidents incurred by the three major types of motor transportation companies as reported to the Commission. The Commission employs one railroad inspector who performs periodic inspection of railroad equipment, right-of-way and station facilities to insure safety and sanitation for the traveling public. The inspector also analyzes all petitions for exemption from the Commission's close clearance rules and reports his findings. 8' Swi.. ..

During 1960 the Railroad Inspector made 30 investigations and recommendations regarding exemptions from Railroad Track Clearance Rules. He also conducted and made 28 investigations and recommendations concerning railroad safety and service complaints. Rate and Tariff Department Informal transportation cases are handled by the Rate and Tariff Department. This is a special procedure in which rate cases can be dis- posed of without the formality of witnesses having to appear and give testimony in person. Shortened procedure is employed in adjustments where all interested parties are fully advised and extended an opportunity to participate and present their views. Generally such adjustments are the result of carrier's desire to meet competitive rates and charges of other modes of transportation, and to establish rates that will move the traffic. Our purpose in such a method of handling is to save time and money for all interested parties, including the State of Florida, and to effect a more prompt determination of issues. The Rate Division is understaffed and consists of only the Director, one Rate Analyst, and a Secretary. The personnel are responsible for maintaining an up-to-date tariff file applicable to freight and passenger rates covering the railroads and motor vehicle operators. The Department has authority to approve or disapprove rate changes in tariffs when pre- sented with proper petition. It also must be available to participate in hearings before the Interstate Commerce Commission when rate changes are sought that may have a bearing upon the intrastate rate structure. The Department also assists shippers in securing prompt adjustment of claims, acting as arbitrator between the claimant and the carriers. No record is kept of petitions declined, withdrawn, or abandoned. The ratio is small however. During the years of 1959 and 1960, the Rate and Tariff Department disposed of 475 applications having to do with rates, charges, rules and regulations applicable to the railroads. In the same period of time, 240 petitions from motor vehicle operators were disposed of. This brought about a total of 715 adjustments for the two-year period.

According to the point of view, they are a dangerous and destructive experiment or a bright new sales tool. They are on trial, and it is not known whether they will be permitted to exist. A guaranteed rate is an alternative reduced rate which is given only to shippers who agree to, and do, give to the publishing carrier or carriers a stated percentage of the traffic in question, over a 12-month period. The carrier stipulates that it will not voluntarily in- crease the rate during the year-hence the term "guaranteed" rate. The basic question is whether it is lawful for a common carrier to establish an alternative reduced rate which is applicable only to shippers who agree to give the carrier a stated percentage of the traffic. At the time of preparing this report, there have been only two rail instances where guaranteed rates were filed with this Commission, with an effective date and without prior authority. These are malt liquors from Tampa to lower east coast points (R-2621) and agricultural limestone from and to central Florida points (R-2766); both commodities moving in carload lots. During the closing months of 1960, the railroads put forth a concerted effort to expand trailer-on-flat-car service intrastate in Florida. The serv- ice, as yet, is very limited and it is not possible to pass an opinion at this early date as to just what effect it will have on the common carrier in- dustry. The public understands that the freight charge is a sum of money, but is at a loss how the rates are figured to establish the freight cost on goods it consumes or uses. Some effort is being made to restate and sim- plify rates in the piggy-back field to attract a shipper and state the rates in terms so that the public can understand them. There is now either in use or proposed, five plans of piggy-back service, no two of which are identical.
