433. The commission shall prescribe the form of the annual reports
required under this sub-title to be made by common carriers, railroads,
street railroads, railroad corporations and street railroad corporations,
and all other corporations subject to the provisions of this sub-title, and
may from time to time make such changes therein and additions thereto
as it may deem proper; provided, however, that if any such changes or
additions require any alteration in the method or form of keeping the
accounts of such corporations, the commission shall give to them at least
six months' notice before the expiration of any fiscal year of any such
changes or additions, and on or before December 31st, in each year,
shall furnish a blank form for such report. The contents of such report,
and the form thereof, shall conform as nearly as possible to that re-
quired of common carriers under the provisions of the Act of Congress
entitled "An Act to Regulate Commerce," approved February fourth,
eighteen hundred and eighty-seven, and the Act amendatory thereof
approved June twenty-ninth, nineteen hundred and six, and other
amendments thereto, and such report shall be made for the period of
twelve months ending December thirty-first in each year. The com-
mission may require such report to contain information in relation to
rates or regulations concerning fares or freights or agreements or con-
tracts affecting the same, so far as such rates or regulations pertain to
transportation within the State. When the report of any person or
corporation is defective, or believed to be erroneous, the commission
shall notify it to amend the same within a time prescribed by the com-
mission. The originals of the reports, subscribed and sworn to as pre-
scribed by law, shall be preserved in the office of the commission. The
commission may also require common carriers to file periodically reports
of earnings and expenses within a specified time. The commission may
require of all common carriers specific answer to questions upon which
the commission may need information. The annual report required to
be filed by a common carrier shall be so filed on or before the thirty-
first day of March in each year. The commission may extend the time
for making and filing such report for a period not exceeding sixty days.
If such common carrier shall fail to make and file the annual report
within the time above specified, or within the time as extended by the
commission, or shall fail to make specific answer to any question, or
shall fail to make the periodic reports when required by the commission
as herein provided, within thirty days from the time when it is required
