In their sorrow
Texas Power & Light Company,
aa well aa other Texas power com-
panies, has been granted exemp-
tion from the recent order of Wax
Production Board restricting the
use of electricity to relieve short-
age of "coal or other scarce fueto"
In other parts of the natkm.
Such a curtailment Is not nacre
sary here because the steam pow-
er plants of the T. P * L. Com-
pany do not use "coal or other
scarce fuels" but depend *m
natural gas for fuel.
The generating faculties and far-
flung transmission systems of TUe-
as Power dc Light company nek
only save this area from curtail-
ment of service but also enable the
Company to produce additional
power and to gather all other
available electric energy trow*
Government -owned hydro-eiectrte
projects and from privately-own-
ed plant* from as far as the
Oulf Coast to be transmitted by
the replacement method to the
area* In the North and Bast where
the present emergency exists.
Since He organisation In 1813,
when cheap, dependable electric
service was unheard of. this Com-
pany lias anticipated by many
years tne need* of the people at
Texas, pioneering in the applica-
tion of electric power to Industry
and in the Introduction of now
commonly used appliances, such as
the electric refrigerator, electric
range, attic fans and many others
