August’s cattle market was
pointed upward even through
some price adjustments were
made at the month progressed.
August s weather, a rerun of
July's hot weather, was the big

Weather is old news to the
industry and still big news to
the cattle market. Rain is
needed in September to slow
down the big flow of cattle
moving into the market
channels from parched pas
tures and to space out cattle
numbers to avoid an unorderly
flow of cattle which weakens
the market.

Dear Friends: I would like to talk to you for a while. I know a lot of you have
problems and you don't know what to do for them, There are all sorts of problems
because not all people are alike. Problems concerning your husband, wife, or
sweetheart, and some have problems with their husband never bringing home their
pay check. Other people have marriage problems, their husband or wife has left
them. I know this and I have dedicated my life to help people with their problems.
I have been doing this work for a long time and I know what I am talking about.
No problem is too big nor too small. All you have to do is first, have faith in God,
then in me, and can solve any problem you bring to me.
I guarantee my work. Come and see me today.

I his information appeared
in the Fayette County Record
and in the Eagle Lake
Headlight, revealing progress
on the Fayette County Power
Plant.
Nearly 700 workers are
toiling away in what used to be
grassland pasture about seven
miles east of La Grange as the
twin 600-megawatt Fayette
Power Plant units begin to take
final shape.
Brown & Root, a world
leader in engineering and
construction and a Halliburton
Company subsidiary, is con
structing the units. The 700
Brownbuilders on the project
represents a peak work force
that gradually grew from" the
initial crew that started the
project in November, 1975.
I he work force is expected to
remain at peak until the first
unit is complete in June. 1 979.
At that point the number will
decrease through completion of
unit two a year later.
The Fayette plant is owned,
by the Lower Colorado River
Authority and the City of
Austin and will help supply the
electrical power need of more
than a million Central Texans
when it goes on stream. The
plant also is expected to help
stabilize the predicted rise in
the price of electricity due to
the fact that it will utilize
Western coal as fuel source
instead of natural gas or oil.
LCRA planners estimate that
by burning coal in the two
units. $47 million in power
production costs can be saved
between 1979 and 1985 — even
with the added expense of
financing the two new units.
Although the units look
complete when viewed against
the skyline from State highway
71, an incredible number of
details and preparations must
be completed before the first
kilowatt of electricity is
produced. However, the impact
of the project has been felt in
the economy of Fayette County
since its inception.
In addition to the money
spent for local supplies and
services for the project. Brown
At Root expends approximately
$350,000 each week — or about
$1.500.000 each month — on
wages at the site.
A lot of this payroll money is
spent locally, due to the
company's intensive efforts to
hire local employees. Nearly 50
per cent of the 700 workers
currently earning these wages
are area residents.
Construction of the Fayette
Power Project, begun in June
1975. is half a year away from
initial start-up for testing and
synchronizing, and a year away
from commercial operation of
Unit 1. according to LCRA
engineers. Commercial opera-
tion of Unit 2 is not expected
until 1980.
In a report to the Authority's
board of directors, Chief
Engineer Elof Soderberg point-
ed out that construction on
Unit 1 and common facilities is
66 percent complete; and. 11
percent complete on Unit 2.
Soderberg added that the
'contractor has assured LCRA
the plant (Unit ) would be
ready on time, and has
authorized the overtime hours
for craft members to meet the
deadline.
A "major milestone" was
reached, said Soderberg. when
permanent power to the plant
was instituted in July. This
allows the start-up of various
equipment and systems to see if
they will perform as expected
"in the next two months:- he
