§ 1824. Application for certificate of public good; hearing A certificate shall be issued only after written application has been made

• . Upon receipt
  of an application, the Board shall fix a time and place for hearing, which shall be
  in a town within which the route or a part of the route is proposed, and shall give
  notice of the pendency of the application and of the time and place of hearing to
  the applicant, and to any common carrier operating over any portion of the proposed
  route or over a route substantially parallel to the proposed route. The Board shall
  make an order for the publication of the substance of the petition and of the time
  and place of the hearing in a newspaper published in the county or counties where
  the proposed route is located, the publication to be at least 12 days before the day
  appointed for the hearing. A public hearing shall be held on the petition. To enable
  the provision of service for which there is an immediate or urgent need to a point
  or points within a territory having no carrier service capable of meeting those needs,
  the Board may, without hearings or other proceedings, grant temporary authority for
  the service by a common carrier. Temporary authority, unless suspended or revoked
  for good cause, shall be valid for the time as the Board shall specify but not more
  than an aggregate of 180 days and shall create no presumption that corresponding permit
  authority shall be granted. (Added 1985, No. 224 (Adj. Sess.), § 1.)
