To the honorable Wm. G. McAdoo, Director General of all Railroads of the United States of America, Wash
ington, D. C.
The following resolutions unanimously passed by
are submitted for your valuable consideration:
WHEREAS, ail freight and passenger traffic originating In the United 8tatss, north of Jacksonville, Florida,
and having Its destination on the West Coast of Florida, is routed through Jacksonville, and
WHEREAS, at the present time, owing to the congested conditiBns of the tracks and shipping facilities In
the City of Jacksonville, freight and passenger traffic Is unduly delayed and great damage and annoyance caused
thereby, and
WHEREAS, all freight and passenger business originating in the North, and Northwest, and the Middle
States, has heretofore passed through Jacksonville, Florida, thereby making an extra haul of upwards of one hun
dred miles, and
WHEREAS, points of origin in the West and Northwest for both passenger and freight shipments are placed
at a great disadvantage In serving Southwest Florida, South and Central Florida, Tampa being shut out as a
basing point and a greater portion of the State of Florida Is thereby placed In a differential territory by Virtue
of there being only the two rate basing points In the State, Pensacola and Jacksonville, and these rate basing
points controlling all the rates in the State of Florida are working a hardship on the citizens of the State as all
through rates from points of origin are made up by adding local rates from Jacksonville, to points of destination
within the State, and
WHEREAS, in order to facilitate and expedite the handling of passenger and freight traffic, it is deemed
wise and advisable to petition you as Director General to cause a re-adjustment of present conditions by entering
an order or orders causing all freight and passenger traffic originating North and West of Jacksonville, Florida,
and having Its destination on the West Coast of Florida, to be routed on entering the State from the Northwest by
way of Quitman, Ga., through Perry, Fla., thence to Wilcox, Fla., thence to Dunnellon, Fla., thence to Trilby,
Fla., and thence to the various points of destination on the West Coast, and South Central Florida, or by way of
Valdosta, Ga., thence to Jasper, Fla., thence to Live Oak, Fla., thence to Newberry, Fla. thence to Dunnellon,
Fla., thence to Trilby, Fla., and thence to the various points of destination on the West Coast and South Central
Florida, as will more clearly appear from the map hereto attached. In using either of these routes It will mate
rlally reduce the present congested condition at Jacksonville, save several hours In time, and serve a greater por
tion of the population of the State.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the
.that the re-routing of all trains, both passenger and freight,
that center at Atlanta, Ga., Montgomery or Birmingham, Ala, and Pensacola, Fla., that are destined to points on
the West Coast of Florida, Central and South Florida, will not only aid the government of the United States
in Is present effort to conserve the resources and facilities of the Country, but it will cause likewise to serve in a
like manner the greater portion of the population of the Great State of Florida, and
EE IT ALSO FURTHER RESOLVED, that in passing these resolutions by
i
and making
this request of you as such Director General we are not only trying to serve the district In which we are located,
together with the great State of Florida, but we believe we are asking for that which will be of great benefit to
the United States.
