not be placed under operation Of rule
I Of the commission.
The order amounts practically to a &c
mand on the part OF the railroad commits
sion for the names OF the owners Of the
roads cited. Rule provides that all con-
meeting lines which are under the man
agement or control. by lease. ownership
or otherwise. Of the same company. shall
be considered as one company or line IN
the operations Of the tariffs OF the com
mission. In order that the commissions
tariff may be made operative. il is neces-
sary, Of course, that the ownership OF
all lines within the Jurisdiction OF thai
body shall be known. The real owners
OF the lines now cited 10 appear are not
known and that is what the railroad COM
mission has set itself TO find out.
In the case Of the Macon and Northern
particular pains have been taken by the
owners to keep their identity secret. L
the commission finds that the Central Is
controlled by the Southern and the other
lines mentioned are In the same condition
there viii in all probability be some hign-
~ interesting developments. Rates will
not only be affected. but the state law
prohibiting the consolidation of compec-
ing lines may play very important part
in the action taken. by the commission.
The Central and southern are compet-
ing lines and also the Georgia Southern.
The commission gave notice TO the
lines now cited 10 appear and show their
ownership some months ago. but on &C
count Of the incomplete state of the re-
organization OF the Central and the Geor-
gia Southern, the hearing was put of The

railroads of the state The public will also
have its curiosity gratifed by the dis
closure Of the real ownership Of the lines
affected.
