year, and the new plant is scheduled
for service on January 1, 1954.
The first generating unit in Lon C.
Hill Power Station will be capable of
producing twice as much electric po-
wer as the largest unit in any other
CPL power plant. Additional units
will be installed as needed, and it is
expected that Lon C. Hill Power Sta-
tion eventually will be Central Power
and Light Company’s largest plant.
It is designed to serve a large South
Texas area, rather than any specific
locality, and will supplement the pow-
er output of other plants already stra-
tegically located in the load centers.
Lon C. Hill, for whom the new
plant is named, became CPL president
1939. Under his leadership the
company has achieved the greatest
growth in its 36-year history and is
still expanding rapidly. Since the be-
ginning of 1939 the number of elec-
tric customers served by CPL has
more than doubled and the amount of
electricity sold per year is almost five
times as great. Of the company’s three
largest power plants, two have been
built since the beginning of 1939 and
the third has been tripled in size. Dur-
ing the same period the company's
transmission and distribution systems
and other service facilities have also
been greatly expanded.
As the engineering work on Lon C.
Hill Power Station goes forward, a
new 33,000-kilowatt addition to Vic-
toria Power Station is nearing com-
pletion and will be in service during
September this year, increasing the
CPL power supply to 300,100 kilo-
watt.--. Two more 33,000-kilowatt gen-
erating units are on order, one to be
added at Victoria and the other at a
location yet to be determined. By the
end of 1955 the company will be able
to supply its customers with 432,000
kilowatts of electricity, as compared
with 2b7.100 kilowatts at the present
time. The highest customer demand
to date is 243,400 kilowatts.

I want to take this means of thank-

CARD OF APPRECIATION
CPL To Build
New Power Plant
Construction of a new power plant
by Central Power and Light Com-
pany will begin before the end of the
year, it has just been announced by
J. L. Bates, vice president and gen-
eral manager. The new plant, to be
located in the Corpus Christi area, will
be named Lon C. Hill Power Station
in honor of the company's president.
Action to name the plant for Mr.
Hill was taken by the board of dir-
ectors of Central Power and Light
Company in the form of a special
resolution. Lon C. Hill has been CPL
president longer than any other chief
executive anil has guided the com-
pany through its greatest era of ex-
pansion.
Lon C. Hill Power Station will be
built about one and one-half miles
from Calallen, to the east of the Mis-
souri Pacific Railroad tracks. The 104-
acre plant site is near CPL’S Calal-
len substation, where five existing
69,000-volt transmission lines conver-
ge. Power from the new Lon C. Hill
Power Station will flow into these
lines for transmission throughout
South Texas. By the time the new
plant is ready for operation, another
and still higher voltage line will be
completed to the site. It will be a 138-
000-volt transmission line extending
northeast to Victoria and southwest to
Falfurrias from Lon C. Hill Power
Station.
Generating equipment for the new
plant, which will have an initial net
capability of 66,000 kilowatts, was or-
dered early in 1951 and preliminary
engineering work has been under way
since that time. Actual construction
will begin during the last half of this
