highway, have been Included In
the properties.
Georgetown, In Williamson

In Travis county, Austin oper-
ates its own plant. It already Is
taking some power from LCRA,
and plans to Increase Its use In
the future.

cities distributing, through mu-
nicipal systems, low cost power
generated by the Authority at
Its dams on the Colorado river in
the picturesque hill country
above Austin.
The Authority will resell the
distribution portion of the pro-
perties to cities and to rural co-
operatives for operation through
their own governments, with
the Authority’s generating plant
as their aburce of power, and
the Authority retaining -the
transmission lines. i
Max Starcke, operating mana-
ger of the Authority, said that
some time will be required by the
Authority in arriving at the cost
of the Individual distribution
systems to the cities, but that
cities can purchase them at ap-
proximately reproduction cost.
Mayors and city officials of
most, of the towns Involved in a
meeting recently with Starcke
and other Authority officials ex-
pressed unanimous approval of
the Authority’s plan to pufchase
the T. P. and L. properties.
The value of the systems In In-
dividual cities, Starcke said, will
be arrived at by Joint efforts of
Public Works Administration
engineer,-the' Authority’s engi-
neers and the City’s engineer.
The Authority, he said, _ will
make every effort to assist the
cities In sound operation of their
municipal system when they "are

are 92 cities and communities. In
addition to rural electrification
co-operatives, which will be serv-
ed by the Authority.
The $5,000,000 purchase price
agreed upon by the Authority’s
board of directors and the power
company represented a $3,398,016
reduction from the original
