has announced that the Missouri

tract to build a 210,000 killowatt
turbine-generator unit at the
company's Plant X, located 7
miles north of Amherst, Texas.
Construction will begin this
week, with completion scheduled
for June 1964.
The new unit, manufactured by
the General Electric Company,
is the largest single turbine-gen-
erator ever Installed in the area
served by Southwestern Public
Service Co.
In making the announcement,
Watson stated that the new ad-
dition represents an investment
of $15,000,000 and is dramatic evi-
dence that this region continues
to be one of the fastest growing
sections of the country.

ing unit at Plant X, and will
bring the capability up to 487,500
kilowatts, and the total for all
12 of Southwestern's plants, to
more than 1,200,000 kilowatts.
