TPSL
1947 Includes construction of 132,-
000-volt transmission lines from
the Trinidad generating plant sta-
tion to a point between Dallas and
Fort Worth; another from Trinidad
to Hillsboro; and one from Jewett
to Lufkin. New substations have
been built at Crockett and at Lig-
gett, and workhas begunon a new
substation east of Tyler. Major
additions have been made to exist-
ing substations at Hillsboro, Jewett,-
Lufkin and Trinidad. Rural and
distribution lines have been ex-
tended throughout the entrle area
served by the company.
Continuing Its widespread rural
electrification program, the com-
pany will apply a large portion of
the $22,000,000 assigned for distri-
bution facilities to extending elec-
tric service to additional farm
homes. “Rural electrification in
Texas was pioneered by by Texas
Power tc Light Company, which
has been working with Texas for-
mers since 1915,” Mr. Carpenter
pointed out. ”We consider that the
continued prosperity of the state
Is based upon a sound, progressive
agricuture, and In modem farming
electricity not only makes the farm
home home a more comforable
and pleasant place to live; It also
saves the farmer time and labor
that add up to positive economic
assets.”
With the shift from the one-
crop system to diversified agri-
cultrre, the demand for flexible
power on the farm has Increased
enormously, Mr. Carpenter contin-
ued. FFeed crops for the growing
livestock Industry have created a
demand for electrically operated
implements such as grinders,
mixers, choppers and ensilage cut-
ters to process the feed for use on
the farm. Pumps to provid run-
ning water, refrigeration to pre-
serve food, and labor-saving ap-
pliances for the home are becom-
ing standard equipment on Texas
farms. The growing dairy Industry
Is using electrically operated milk-
ing machines and mlk coolers to
increase production and efficiency.
The availability of adequoate, low-
cost eectrlc power has led to the
location In Texas of milk proces-
sing plants, canning plants, textile
mills and other Industries which
give our farmers a direct outlet
for their products.
“The expenditure of this $47,000-
000 to expand our facilities for
increased electric service In North,
Central and East Texas is evidence
of our faith in the continued
growth and development of this
part of the state,” Mr. Carpenter
declared.
