SOUTH ALABAMA POWER HOLDINGS FIGURE IN SALE Company Serving Eufaula And Several Other
 Cities Sold HOLDING CONCERN
 MAKES PURCHASE Alabama Power Company Reported Interested In
 Extending Service
(State Capital Bureau)

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Oct. 1S.-AI holdings of the Georgia Alabama Power company and Georgia-Alabama Util- ities, Inc, in southeast Alabama will be transferred to the Consumers Power company if the public service commis- sion grants a petition which was sub- mitted Saturday.
 The Consumers Power company was organized August II, according to re- cords of the secretary of state. Re ports at the capitol were that it is a holding corporation formed for the pur- pose of taking over the property and that the holdings would probably go to the Alabama Power company and become a part of the statewide electric system. No confirmation of the report was obtainable and officials of the pub lie service commission said they had no records that would identify the Consumers Power company.
 An investigator of records of the secretary of state developed the fact that the Consumers Power company filed its charter for record August II.
 The company was organized at Flu faula, Barbour county, where the cleo tric plant is owned by the Georgia Alabama Utilities, Inc. The record shows only three persons interested in the company, they being A. l.. Couch, W. H. Merrill and Lillian Tyson. Mir, Merrill is attorney for the two com panies that propose to sell their prop erty and it was he who submitted the petition.
 The company. which desires to take over the. property, was formed with an authorized capital of $2,O00 and paid in capital of $1,O0o. This indicates that it is a holding corporation.
 The Georgia-Alabama company now operates electric plants at Headland, Newyille, Columbia, Pinkard and Mid land City. The Georgia-Alabama Util- ities. Inc, controls the electric plants at Enterprise, Eufaula and Abbeville
 If the movement is intended to put the Alabama Power company into pos session of the property it means that success will establish the power com pany in every section of Alabama. Ii has touched or is preparing to touch every other section. Its transmission lines run into southeast Alabama as far as Union Springs and if the lines nov involved are taken over q transmission line of % miles will connect the sys- tenn with the transmission line of the Alabama Power company. For several months the Alabama Power company has been moving toward Mobile. It already has authority to go into the Green1ille territory, the objective be- ing Mobile.
 No negotiations are being carried on with the Consumers Power company with the plan of taking over south Alabama properties, according to state ments of Birmingham officials of the Alabama Power company last night. It was said, however, that the Alabama Power company would possibly furnish current to the newly organized Con- sumers Power company.
