CHAPTER 124 AN ACT SUPPLEMENTAL TO AN ACT ENTITLED AN ACT TO REQUIRE THE RAILROADS OF NORTH CAROLINA TO SUPPLY ADDITIONAL FACILITIES AT DEPOTS TO EX- CHANGE MILEAGE, ENACTED AT THE PRESENT SES- SION OF THE NORTH CAROLINA LEGISLATURE, 1911 Whereas the present General Assembly has enacted a law which, among other provisions, requires railroad companies to check bag- gage upon presentation of mileage books and the removal there- from of the baggage slips, but as provided in said act there is no method by which the convenience of the public can be protected and the rights of the railroad companies safeguarded; and where- as it is desirable that reasonable regulations, with regard to both of said purposes, shall be provided, to be put into effect on the first day of May, one thousand nine hundred and eleven, when the said act shall go into effect: now, therefore, The General Assembly of North Carolina do enact:
That the Corporation Commission is hereby empowered and directed to take into consideration the fourth section of the present act of the General Assembly referred to in the preamble of this act, and promulgate such rules and regulations, with regard to checking baggage on mileage tickets, as, in the opinion of the said Corporation Commission, shall be necessary and proper to safeguard and protect both the convenience of passengers and the rights of railroad companies; and the said rules and regulations of the said Corporation Commission, when so promulgated, shall have the same force and effect as if the said regulations were a part of section four of said act.
