■ f
For more than 30 years, natural gas
was the only fuel used in Texas Power &
Light Company generating plants. It was
economical in cost and there was an
abundant supply available.
However, in rece/it years, the cost of
gas has. risen enormously and the supply is
becoming increasingly uncertain.
During periods of cold weather in the
last several years, and again this year,
supplies of gas wdre curtailed drastically.
TP&L used large quantities of oil to keep its
plants operating.
Since 1971, TP&L has been steadily
reducing its dependency on gas and oil
with plants which use lignite coal as fuel.
Lignite is a more economical fuel and it’s
readily available from huge deposits right
here in Texas. Electricity is now being
produced by two lignite-fueled plants in the
TP&L area, one other is under construction
and others are being planned.
TP&L and two other North Texas
electric companies have a nuclear-fueled
plant under construction. The first of two
generating units is scheduled to be placed
in operation in 1980 and the second
in 1982.
It’s, essential that TP&L continue
planning and building new generating
plants to make possible use of lower cost
and more readily available fuels and, at the
same time, keep your electric service
dependable. ,

Rep. Head Urges
Estate Tax Ease
For Family Farms
AUSTIN — State Represent-
ative Fred (Head today urged
all rural landowners to write
their Texas (Senators and Con-
gressmen and express support
for current legislation to ease
the federal estate tax burden
on family farms.
Head noted that the current
federal estate tax exemption
has not been changed since
1942 while land values have
increased more than 200 per
cent in many instances.
“It is rapidly becoming im-
possible to pass from one gen-
eration to the next a going farm
or ranch,” Head said. “Cur-
rent legislation, including HiR-
11770 by Texas Congressman
Omar OBurleson makes it pos-
sible for the value of land at
death to be based on its produc-
tive capacity for agriculture
purposes, “ Head continued.
Currently, (IRS use “fair mar-
ket value” in determining estate
taxes. This “value” is often
based on land sales in the
same general area sold for
housing, industrial, recreational
or other nonfarm speculative
uses.
“In addition,” Head continued
“we must urge Congress to
raise the current federal estate
tax exemption to $200,000 and
provide for a minimum de-
duction of $100,000 for property
passing to a surviving husband
or wife.”
Head recommended writing
Senators (John Tower and Uoyd
Bentsen, and Congressmen Ch-
arles Wilson, Ray Roberts, and
the office of the late Congress-
man Wright (Patman.
