TRANSMISSION
Line FINISHED

Construction work on the Gen.
trail Power and Light Company
transmission line from the La
Palma station at San Benito to
the new all steel substation north
Of Brownsville has been completed
by the L. Z. Meyers Construction
company, and the line was placed

serve as a safeguard to electric
service in the Valley district. This
line will connect the Brownsville
substation with the Valley district
transmission system which Is inter-
connected with the main transmits
sion system, thereby placing all Of
the company's main generating
plants on one system, and enabling
the Central Power and Light Co.
to supply almost unlimited power
to any community or industry
located on the system Ludden
said.
According to Mr.. Ludden the
completion OF this project is the
elimination of the company's plan
Of building a completely inter
Connected transmission system to
serve south and southwest Texas
and the project is characterized as
the final fulfillment Of the early
faith in the possibilities for growth
and development Of c-ath and
southwest Texas.
Approximately 2 months were re-
CURED for the building Of the San
Benito-Browns lille highline, during
which time the project furnished
employment to approximately rs
men. The wires used in TIE line
