|ttteiislons and improvements to
its services In South and Southwest
Texas will entail an Investment by
the Central Power and Light Com*
pany of no less than $4,000,000 dur-
ing 1931, it was revealed in the
company's budget which has just
been completed for the coming year.
According to B. B. Neiswanger,
president and general manager, this
large Sum ot money will be used to
Improve and extend utility service
throughout South and Southwest
Texas and will not be concentrated
in any one section nor locality.
for mi are several projects of ma-
jor Importance, one Of which is the
Interconnection of the Central Sys-
tem with the Rio Grande System
thus completing the consolidation
of the properties and making an out-
standing contribution to the bet-
terment of electric service" over the
entire system. This project is a
transmission line to be built from

trict to connect wltfj the Valley
transmission system at a point be-
tween Pharr and Edinburg. '

proximately 70 miles in length and

Hie construction of this line will
place all of the company’s main
generating stations ton one, trans-
mission system, and will, therefore
provide almost unlimited power to
any industry or community on the
system.
According to Mr. Neiswanger
this project is the culmination of the
company's early plan of having a
completely interconnected trans-
mission system serving South and
Southwest Texas. The project has
been characterised by officials of,
the company as the final fulfillmebt
of their early^ faith In the possibil-
ity for the growth and development
of South and Southwest Texas.
Preliminary survey work has al-
ready been started on this line and
It Is expected to be completed and
placed in operating during the com-
ing summer.
Another project of prime Import-
ance In the Central Power and
Light Company’s plans for the year
is the construction of a hydro elec-
tric generating plant on an irriga-
tion canal adjacent to the Rio
Grande River near Eagle Pass.
Preliminary work has already
been started at the site of the plant
and it is expected to be completed
and in operation by the early part
of 1932. This project is being de-
lygT
veloped as a result of negotiations Asherton where it will serve to aug- HE DON'T BELI^Sii^'*
between the Central Power and
Light Company and the Maverick
County Irrigation District No, 1
which was formed for the purpose
of irrigating about 60,000 acres of
land in Maverick County adjacent
to the Rio Grande River. The ir-
rigation district and the Central
Power and Light Company complet-
ed arrangements whereby the irriga-
tion district will > deliver water
through its canals to the hydro plant
where it will be passed through tur-
.bines, generating eleptric current,
aftep which the water will be re-
turned to the Rio Grande River.
The , plant will have a maximum
capacity' of 13,672 horsepower and
will haye Installed in ft either two
or three units. Actual construction
work on the plant will get under
way in the spring.
In order to make the power gen-
erated at the hydro plant available
to all of South and Southwest Texas,
a new transmission line is now be-
ing constructed from Asherton to
the site of the plant. This trans-
mission line will also be approxi-
mately 70 miles In length iand will
be operated at 66,000 volts. Upon
completion of the line, the power
will be transmitted into the com-
pany’s main transmission system at

In addition to these two major
projects, the Central Power and
Light Company will, make various
Improvements to local substations,
power plants, and local distribution
systems. It Is also planned to con-
tinue the extension of electric lines
into the rural districts to furnish

idents outside of thte cities; This
is an established policy of the com

Transmission line electric service
at 66,000 volts will be extended from
Taft to Woodsboro. The present
line, which is operated at 11,000
volts, was built with provisions for
additional lines when heavier loads
demanded increased power. In-
creased powgr loads at Woodsboro
and Refugio demand that this high-
er capacity line be constructed dur-
ing the coming year.
New water wells will be drilled
and equipped at Bishop, Beeville,
and Taft during the coming year in
order to provide additional water
capacity for use in tile local distri-
bution systems at these points. .A
cast-iron water pipe line will be
completed from Gregory to Ingle-
side to furnish water to the Humble
Oil and Refining Company's refin-j
ery at Ingleside.
Transportation in Coi pits Christ i,
will be improved by the replace-
ment of the street ears ,by motor
buses. Schedules will be speeded
up and the regular five, cent fare
will he in force on all routes.
’Spose the ground hog did see Us
shadow last Monday, which some
folks say means six weeks more
winter. Snooper doesn’t believe a
word of It. Just as well say these
town dogs baying at moon every
night mean that there will he a
norther In the morning. Some folks
also seem to believe that seeing
the moon over your left shoulder or
through trees is a bad omen.
Shucks, and thejn again shucks.
Snooper is a sort of iconoclast
(whatever that is), when it comes
to these signs and, omens, and
doesn’t believe that any of thfm
mean very much in the, great
scheme of things1.—“Snooper” in

She fell into his arms and he was
busy for the next few minutes. And
yet the tears flowed on.
‘Can nothing stop them?” he
asked breathlessly.
’No,” she murmured, “it is hay
fever you know. But go on with
