for the community at ceremonies Tuesday when a ribbon was cut to open the facility to trans or the first time don't know of a better Christmas preient for Chattanooga or any other city for that matter than this grade separation structure" Mayor It eat' declared About 100 Chattanoogans looked on as the exercises arranged by the streets and highway committee of the Chattanooga Chamber of Commerce were conducted from an open air bus parked atop the wide viaduct Seated in the bus which was equipped with a public address system were those participating in the ceremonies and public officials railway executives and representatives of the Tennessee Highway Department Dyer Buttdrfield Jr committee chairman wu master of ceremonies The invocation was by Dr James Fowle city chaplain and talks were made by Scott Brown president of the chamber and the mayor "This overpass is the first link in the interstate highway system to be complete in East Tennessee and the second in the entire state" Brown said "It is most difficult to visualize the change that will take place in this nation travelwise and economywise upon completion of the 40000 miles of similar highway to be constructed within the next 10 to 12 years in the United States "In this respect Chattanooga truly will be the crossroads of the Southeast with four interstate highways coming together in our city Literally millions of people will travel to and through Chattanooga as a result of this city's strategic location in the great network of highways "It will mean new tourists and tourist spending new industrial and commercial establishmenti locating in Chattanooga which can only mean an ever expanding city "In celebrating this great occasion I wish to give special recognition to Mayor 01- glen whose long-range and wise policies have enabled us to meet here today rather than next year or a number of years from now "In saluting the mayor we also salute City Commissioners1 Pat Wilcox Dunla George McInturff Frank Trotter and County Judge Wilkes Thrasher and County Council members se cooperation made this overpass possible" Brown concluded by declaring that the overpass is the result of "the work of a progressive community and it will be recognized by the millions of people who will drive their automobiles swiftly and safely over this vital artery on which we now stand" Mayor Olgiati said the overpass is only one part of a huge public works program that is "long overdue for Chattanooga" The overpass he said makes it possible for traffic to cross over the long trains instead of having to wait 15 minutes for them to pass The mayor said that very soon work will start on another grade separation structure He added that all details and differences have been worked out and that the three railway systems affected by the rail relocation program are in agreement At the conclusion of the mayor's talk Miss Jean Lindsey "Miss Chattanooga" alighted from the bus tucut the red ribbon that had been stretched across the roadway Light rain fell during the ceremonies Besides Butterfield Dr Fowle Mayor Olgiati Brown and Miss Lindsey others seated on the bus were City Conunissioners Dunlap

Nashville Railroad and White Central of Georgia Railway 0 Coins added he is not interested In an appointment to a new judgeship if one is created by the General Assembly next year Judge Hunter thanked Coins Wheless and McDonald for their service to the court "These lawyers unselfishly devoted their time to sit for me and at the same time I am certain that they neglected their own work" said the jurist "I am told by the bar the court's clerks and by numerous jurors that they did an excellent job I want to congratulate the Chattanooga bar in the election of these three excellent men to serve as special judges "And I want especially to thank John Goins who at a great personal sacrifice left his practice for such a long time" Coins replied that It "had been a very great pleasure to sit for Judge Joe" He learned a lot and enjoyed working as a judge "very much" Coins said Judge Joe Hunter returned Tuesday to his btrich in the third division of circuit court The jurist who underwent abdominal surgery about six weeks ago has lost about 15 pounds but appeared in good health He expects to be ready for the court's heavy docket of Jury trials following the Yule recess Judge Hunter relieved John Goins veteran Chattanooga attorney who was one of the three lawyers to alternate in sitting for Judge Hunter during his illness The others were Joe Wheless and McDonald Goins spent about five months of 1958 alternately serving as a special judge in circuit court for Judges Hunter John Mahoney and Robert Cooper Speaking from his experience Goins MI contend a Judgeship in this court is a workshop and that we badly need a fourth division it we expect to keep up with the docket" EXTRA HOLIDAY GIVEN FOR SSA OFFICE HERE The Social Security AdministratIon district office here will be
