PETITIONS ASK

Conridcrabie opposition seems to
be dpvrfoj'ing to the rt.que.4 of the
Keque.-t for permits from the Federal
Power t ommis ion to construct dams
op the Hi\vas>w River. A> stated in
these columns several weeks ago the
Appalachian Company is applying to
the FederaJ Commission for permit?
build a lb) foot -Jain one mile above
Murphy and another near the mouth
of Hangingdog Crctk so as to back
watt r about ore mile above the town.
Pttoitiom hav been circulated itl ar.d
near Murphy asking that the request
f?>r thesL> permits be refused on the
ground that the upper dam site will
cover ud iiuul valuable fa-in land
and cut i:ff communication with thi
n?arby counties, which make this
their railroad point. The objection to
the lower dam site is that it will cause
eddy water to s?.and in the rivers or
either side of the town and would,
therefore bt a detriment to the h r.lt>
of the community.
It is understood that petitions arr
also being circulated in neighboring
towns in opposition to the granting
:?f these permits.
The proper Federal authorities ar
expected to invt ^tigato the propose
da;n sites and hear any objectioi
I that may be raised. It is pos^ib
that a locol hearing will be held
