We try
to keep 5 peers ahead of the babies!
X hey’rz being born in record numbers
these days; 4 million babies last year—12
million since the wart
They make one very important reason for
the gigantic expansion program of the busi-
ness-managed electric companies. Another
reason is that ei'erybody’o appetite for electric
service is getting bigger—in towns and on
farms, in homes and in industry.
Ordinarily, we work and plan about 5 years
abend to meet the Anticipated demand for
electric service. (It takes n iong time to plan,
build and equip power plants.)
Today, in addition, we're working hard to
catch up with much needed construction we
could not do during the war years!
The West Texas Utilities Company is now
rushing the work on an $18,0b0,000 construc-
tion program. This $18,000,000 construction
program is part of the company policy of
anticipating future needs... of keeping ahead
of the babies.
How is this $18,000,000 being spent? It is
paying for new generating facilities... for
improving and enlarging existing equipment
...for hundreds of miles of wire, cable and
pole lines. It means new jobs... agricultural
and industrial development ... a more pros-
perous West Texas for all of us!
