m* "Fewer Bf Attorney.*----------—
Any person legally competent
to act for himself msy give to an-
other power of attorney to act in
hi* place With the growth and ex-
pansion of business it is difficult
for one man to handle the variety
of complex tasks that come his
way. It is more expedient to dele-
gate power and responsibility to
others, thus giving such persons
authority to make binding con-
tracts in bis name.
The person who- delegates the
power is called the principal, and
ihe nerson to whom the authority
is given is the agent. Third per-
sons can deal with a pioperly au-
thorized agent with the knowledge
that the law will enforce the obli-
gation against tj)e principal.
The law sets up two board class-
es of agents—Special and general.
Most agents are special agents—
that is, they have specific author
ity to do only certain things. When
a pel son is named m a power of
attorney as a gcneial agent, he is
authorised to act in all proper
cases ns of the principal were ac-
ting in person.
For example: A citizen-soldier
leaves home to go to war. He needs
someone to-represent him while he
IS away. He names such a person—.
usually a parent, wife, or trusted
friend—in a power of attorney,
giving this person specific powers
or a general power to act in his
behalf. If the soldier wants to sell
Ills homo while overseas, he can
give such agent the power to sell
the home, ami may limit the
agent's authority to this one mat-
ter. When this agent begins nego-
tiations for the sale, the prospec-
tive buyer ran, hv an examination
of the power of attorney, know
exactly , what authority the agent
Has.
If the person is given a general
power of attorney, he can transact
all the serviceman's business as
though the soldier were home to
art for himself. Suppose the sold-
iei owns a store and wants some-
one to mn rt while he is away. He
may authorize this person through
i power of attorney to buy, sell,
extend credit, collect hills, deposit
and withdraw money
sorted, but said the longer length
of average life isn’t the whole
reason for the great numbers of
heart disease death*.
To prove that point he quoted
these figures: Of the 30.000 Tex-
an* that cardiovascular (heart
and blood vessel) diseases wilt kill
in 1952, about 15,000 will be less
than 70 years old, TOO wilt be in
their 30’s, 2,000 will be in their
40’s, 4,500 in their 60’s, and at
least 7,000 in the '60's.

The annual report notes electric
service rates of TPAL have been
repeatedly reduced during the past
quarter of a century but sweep-
ing inflation made it necessary in
1951 for the Company to obtain
moderate rate increases which in
part, offset a reduction ill rates
made in 1946.
The report is liberally illustrat-
ed with pictures of Company ac-
tivities and installations of the
last year and is accented with
green color. The front cover Is
