Many of the shippers and receiv ers of freight both at Murphy and Chattanooga are disturbed about the Commission's refusal to grant authority for the service proposed to be rendered, the freight line asserted. In June, the Tennessee Valley Authority and several cit izens from Murphy, Andrews, and Chattanooga were witnesses at ? hearing at CJiattahooo U to the need for th? Mtu^ihy-Chattanoojja route The Commission turned it down. Another hearing was held in Nash ville, Tenn , in December, 1963 It wa? also turned down The current petition fUed by Blaine Buchanan, of Chattanooga attorney for Dickey asks that the Corn mission '? decision, of Nov 8. ItU, be reconsidered and Dickey ho granted the right to render dai- r ly service between Murphy and Chattanooga Wilson W Palmer, of Murphy president of Dickey, stated that | the freight line had been render-' ing service to and from Knoxville ' for several veara. I A little over a year ago it pur- 1 chased a franchise to extend its ' routes to Atlanta. It is now render- 1 1 ing regular service to Atlanta. Be- ^ < cause of many requests for similar j t service to Chattanooga, the Dick - f ey line is owned by J. M. Arm- ( strong, Jr . of Chattanooga on ' < May 13, 1953, filed applicaJUcffi with t the Interstate Commerce Oommia- \ lion seeking the extension of its J franchise to ChattaAboga, the t company said \ Mr. Palmer cited that such * luthortty, ? granted Would afford * Wrect motor carrier ?enrtce from 3iattanoora to Murpfiy and to p lumerous points on Dickey's pras- % ;nt routes such as Marble. Top- ^ on. Andrews, Robblnsvllle. J" cm ana Havesville. Blalrsvllle HI- f raasee, and numerous others He t ?xplalned that no such service ex- j, sts at the pr*aent time t Hearing on the Dickey applica- I ion was heJd at Chatlanoaf* on tl January 1]. and 18. 1K4. It was supported by I, I- Mason. M.ui>r of Murphv. who also represent t^'1 the Murphy Chamber of Com merce. The Chattan<xiga <"ban-.ber of Commerre and (he Chattanivpa Manufacturers Association joined in the request for service Even though the Murphy area A-a.9 covered in snow and ice at the ime of the hearing many support ers travelled over hazardous roads :o Chattanooga to state their needs 'or transportation to and from Chattanooga the freight line point ed out Among those attending he hearing from Murphy were VUson W Palmer, L Lt Majrai T.
