On Power Line Easement
HOUSTON (Sp) - Houston
Lighting and Power Co. says the
idea behind its request for a 340-
foot easement through Albert
Deussen Park on Lake Houston
is to wave together its entire
electrical transmission system
to assure its customers no in-
terruption in power supply.
Harris County Commissioners
Court Monday postponed a vote
on the company’s request, and
there were indications that three
of the five members of the court
were opposed to it. Com-
missioners V. V. Ramsey and.W.
Kyle Chapman indicated they
would favor it.
The easement is needed,
HL&P says, for construction of a
345,000-volt power line con-
necting its Cedar Bayou
generating plant, now under
construction near Baytown, with
its Greens Bayou generating
plant in northeast Texas.
County Judge Bill Elliott,
County Commissioner Bill
Elliott and Commissioner E. A.
(Squatty) Lyons expressed
opposition to the plan mainly on
the basis that it would force the
county to give up use of badly-
needed park acreage.'......
However, A1 Bussey, public
relations director for HL&P, said
Tuesday afternoon that the strip

of land proposed for the power
line runs along the southern tip
of the park and would traverse
an undeveloped section of the
park.
Bussey said the company
needs to hook the Cedar Bayou
Station — it’s newest plant of 10
such plants in its system — into
the overall system so power can
flow through the entire system if
one unit shuts down for any
raason.
