Utilities Act To Help State Utilities
The electric coordinating committee of six Arizona power distributors and the U S Bureau of Reclamation will add Parker dam power to Arizona. Tucson will receive 15 000 kva next summer, not 11 000, with Salt River Valley 30 000 kva and Central Arizona Light 30 kva, for three years until Davis dam power arrives. The move aims to prevent shortages through 1950 and shows utility cooperation.
