UTILITY TOBUILD INT.V.A’S AREA Tennessee Power Company Given Permit by State Commission. By the Associated Press. NASHVILLE. Tenn. August 14— Tennessee's Public Utilities Commis- sion announced tonight it had decided to let the Tennessee Flectric Power Co., over the protest of T. V. A. pro- tagonists, build a $2.000,000 steam | generating plant here in an area all but encircled by T. V. A's hydro- electric lines. The decision was by a 2-to-1 vote, Commissioner Leon Jourolmon, jr., writing a dissenting opinion opposing the proposed construction as uneco- nomic, imprudent and sure to result ‘in higher electric rates than if the | company purchased power from the | WA, Chairman Porter Dunlap and W. H Turner, the other commissioner, signed the majority opinion holding | that electricity can be produced cheaper at the steam plant than by buving it under a posed purchase contract with the T. V. A Opinions on Cost Clash, The two opinions clashed sharply over comparative costs under the three | proposals under construction—steam | generation, purchase of power deliv- ered here by the T. V. A. and purchase | from the T. V. A. at Columbia, ap- | proximately 50 miles away. Jourolmon said the total outlay for generating 25,000 kilowatts at the steam plant would be $438.000 anually. The T. V. A, he continued, would sell a like amount and deliver it here for $415.758, or at an approximate $22,240 saving. It purchased at Columbia and brought here over the company’s own lines, Jourolmon contended, the same volume of power would cost $425.092, | or $129808 less than if steam gener- ated. Against thix, the majority opinion | citad testimony of five witnesses, only | one of whom, Turner and Dunlap said, ! figured purchased power to cost less than steam generated ‘The two opinions agreed on only one major point—the desirability of a T. V. A-Tepco contract—and the | majority said this is not feasible now | because “the commission finds that the cost is less to the Tennessee Elec- tric Power Co. to build a steam plant to produce power than to purchase power at the rate proposed.” Cites Power Available. “There is evidence in the rprnrd‘ and the commission also takes judi- | cial knowledge of the fact that there | exiets and is available in Tennes- %ee an enormous amount of power generated by the Tennessee Valley Authority,” Dunlap and Turner said. They added, however: 1 “But it does not appear from the | Record that the rates at which the | power 15 to be sold to the Tennessee | Electric Power Co. will result in any | advantage to the customers of the | Tennessee Electric Power Co. to the general public or to said company, gince the company, according to the overwhelming testimony of all wit- nesses, can generate power cheaper than it can purchase it under any rate proposed.” Jourolmon contended that the record ‘“clearly and finally shows" that the utility can save by buying T. V. A. energy. He said the utility had made “no| genuine effort” to obtain T. V. A. power and had “terminated the ne- | gotiations arbitrarily in an early stage, at a time when there was every| prospect that it might obtain even lower rates than those already of- fered by the Authority." WOMAN PRISONER FLEES, BUT IS CAUGHT Falls Off Rear of Train Into, Arms of Feminine Deputy. MIAMI, Fla, August 14—An alert woman deputy recaptured Mrs. Ethel M. Stager, being returned from De- troit, Mich,, to face a $12.000 embez- rlement charge, after the prisoner es- caped today through a shattered train window.

Hard work and a policy of pay a8 you go accomplished it. Aside from that, Peterson, son of a Swedish farmer, had no formulas to apply in solving the problem of success. The Petersons won the distinction of master farmers in a contest con- ducted by the extension department of Texas A. and M. College and spon- sored by a Dalas publication (Pro- gressive Farmer). Twenty-five years ago Peterson was farming 200 acres of wheat on shares. Out of the profits he bought his own team and tools and started out for himself on the same land. He fol- lowed & policy of growing his own feedstuffs, and did not rely on one money crop. Cattle, chickens, hogs, turkeys were added as the couple'’s finances per- mitted.

Dak., that he had been an accomplished ecourt stenographer, was unemployed through no fault of his own, and that he had a wife and six children in Port Huron, Mich.
