Senators Back U S Private Power Cooperation Plan
In Washington on May 18 senators backed a plan to boost private power industry via a $3.144 billion relief and public works bill. Chairman Philip J. Gadsden urged cooperation to create thousands of jobs and enable the PWA to fund hundreds of millions to duplicate private utility systems while limiting government-financed new builds where private plants suffice. Senator King criticized a lease provision as “absolutely stupid,” warning it could provoke utilities to abandon private investments and seek higher federal spending.
