8th Army Crosses Rubicon Fifth Makes New Advances
Houston dispatch reports city utilities commissioner Hein testified in the lawsuit to break the lease of the Comal power plant to the Guadalaye ilanco River authority. He claimed profits from the plant were not anticipated to reach near a million dollars yearly and that taxes and rates were not reduced as hoped. Trustee Fime Grapos said most trustees opposed the lease. Attorney Dan Mosdy estimated GBRA and Lower Colorado River authority would gain about 25 million from the plant over 30 years as the case proceeds in the 61st District Court before Judge Ben T. Wilson and a 72-member jury.
