In a July letter to Alpine Electric & Ice Company manager J. D. Hix, Texas Central Power’s James Kennedy says the transfer of Morrison and McCall interests to Middle West Utilities will not change plant status or employment. The letter notes Middle West Utilities, based in Chicago, now controls Central Power and Light, and highlights its Texas coverage across three regional groups serving 140 towns in 18 states. The company commits to good service at reasonable rates and to community citizenship, stressing its aim to lead rather than follow.
