REPORT OF THE COMMISSION

DIVISION 5, COMMISSIONERS AITCHISON, SPLAWN, AND ROGERS BY DIVISION 5:

On July 22, 1938, the following recommended report and a recommended order appended thereto, filed with us by joint board No. 14, were served on the parties. No exceptions to the order have been filed, and, not having been stayed or postponed by us, it has become effective as our order.

REPORT AND ORDER RECOMMENDED BY JOINT BOARD NO. 14, COMPOSED OF HUGH WHITE OF ALABAMA AND GILLIS CATO OF MISSISSIPPI

By application filed October 30, 1937, as amended, Clayton Tinsley, of Meridian, Miss., seeks a certificate of public convenience and necessity authorizing operation, in interstate or foreign commerce, as a common carrier by motor vehicle, of passengers and their baggage and of express, mail, and newspapers in the same vehicle with passengers, between Louisville, DeKalb, and Meridian, Miss., and Butler, Ala., over specified routes,1 including service at all intermediate points. No protest against the granting of the application has been filed. It appearing, upon investigation of the matters involved in the application, that no hearing in respect thereof might be necessary, the application was referred to joint board No. 14 for appropriate proceedings, in accordance with the provisions of the Motor Carrier Act, 1935.

1 Route 1, between Louisville, Miss., and DeKalb, Miss., over unnumbered highway and Mississippi Highway 16. Route 2, between DeKalb, Miss., and Meridian, Miss., over Mississippi Highway 39. Route 3, between Meridian, Miss., and Butler, Ala., over Mississippi Highway 19 and Alabama Highway 10.

Applicant is engaged in intrastate operations over specified routes between Meridian and DeKalb, and between DeKalb and Louisville, under separate permits from the Mississippi Railroad Commission. Applicant seeks authority herein to engage in interstate commerce over these routes and to institute a new service between Meridian and Butler over a specified route.

Applicant operates two round trips daily between Meridian and DeKalb, a distance of 31 miles, and one round trip daily between DeKalb and Louisville, a distance of 38 miles. These routes are operated separately with different vehicles but the schedules are arranged so as to afford through service between Meridian and Louisville. Mail, express, and newspapers are carried, and all intermediate points are served. Applicant has operated over these routes for the past three years. His service has been satisfactory to the public and has yielded him a profit.

Applicant proposes to operate one round trip daily throughout the year between Meridian and Butler, a distance of 39 miles, serving all intermediate points and handling mail, express, and newspapers. Meridian is the trading center for this area, while Butler is the county seat of Choctaw County, Ala., and a demand exists for service to these points. The approximate populations of the towns on this route are, for Pushmataha 150, Riderwood 750, and Butler 500. This route is not served by any public means of transportation, and residents of the territory desire that this service begin as soon as possible. Applicant has received permits from the States of Alabama and Mississippi to operate over this route but is required to commence actual operations before those permits are given final effect. Applicant needs interstate authority in order to start operations, as most of the passengers over this route will travel on interstate journeys.

Applicant has had 16 years' experience as a bus driver and 3 years' experience in the operation of an intrastate bus line in Mississippi. He has two busses in service in Mississippi and contemplates the purchase of a new 12-passenger bus for the Alabama route. He also has a 9-passenger vehicle available for emergencies. Applicant employs only experienced drivers, and his past safety record has been good. Applicant is financially able and otherwise qualified to conduct the proposed interstate operations.

The joint board finds that public convenience and necessity require operation by applicant, in interstate or foreign commerce, as a common carrier by motor vehicle of passengers and their baggage, and of express, mail, and newspapers in the same vehicle with passengers, between Louisville, Miss., and DeKalb, Miss., between DeKalb, Miss., and Meridian, Miss., and between Meridian, Miss., and Butler, Ala., serving all intermediate points, over the routes hereinbefore set forth;

that applicant is fit, willing, and able properly to perform such service and to conform to the provisions of the act and the requirements, rules, and regulations of the Commission thereunder; and that an appropriate certificate should be granted.

It is recommended that the appended order be entered.
