City To Lay Cornerstone Of Omaha Uni.
Nebraska interested
IN New Southern
Power Project

A development of outstanding
interest to citizens of Nebraska
where several ,hy~dro-eleotric pro
jects r in pocess of construction
wss the authorization by the Ten
nessee Utilities Commission of the
construction of a two million dol
lar steam power plant by the Ten
Sessee Electric Power Company
over TO objection of iva protag-
onists.
Action of the CoSnmission was
based entirely upon the natter of
cheapness of rate, and in the Saa-
jority opinion, it was stated that
"steam power is cheaper than
hydro-eleeric power"
Three alternatives were before
the Commission: ~ Purchase OF
power from IVA; (2) Purchase Of
power from the TEPCO; or (3)
Purchase of power from the
TEPCO which would in turn, pur.
chase its power from iva.
While the third alternative wal
admitted to the preferable by ths
members of the commission, such
a course was found unfeasible be.
cause the Commission found thai
even with the construction of q
two million dollar plant-the TEP
co could create and sell power
more cheaply than could iva.
The power plant will supply
power to the city Of Nashville,
Tenn, and immediate territory. The
entire area is, at the present time
encircled by IVA power lines.
