Alexander seeks city franchise to supply Marble Falls power
C H Alexander plans a written proposal to the San Antonio City Commission for an electric light and power franchise. He would supply Marble Falls hydro plant current to San Antonio at about 11.8 cents per kilowatt hour, with initial daily demand around 5 000 kWh rising to 15 000 kWh. The existing San Antonio Gas and Electric contract expired in February. The council will study any new plan after evaluating its rates and safeguards.
