Indiana Law May Prevent REA Project Near Petersburg
Rural Electrification Administrator Hamil said a 1935 Indiana law could block a co op plan to build a 42 million dollar power plant near Petersburg even if REA approves the loan. PSC chairman Van Ness said the law covers only distribution to nine southern Indiana co ops and an aluminum plant. Governor Handley called the project an attempt by co ops to invade the industrial power field. Rep Halleck declined to share White House discussions with President Eisenhower. In a separate suit, Jay County Court awarded 11,200 damages to the son of Delta Remy employer Larry Delinger after a two car crash near the Ohio Indiana line in July 1954.
