Vernon Ice Supply Assured With $20,000 Plant Upgrades
Visiting Texas Public Service Company officials say Vernon will be amply supplied with ice this summer. Improvements of about 20000 are underway at the local plant to justify the assurance. Outside firms will handle excess capacity this year. Officials Foster and Easton seek the Vernon franchise to run lighting and pumping operations, citing a $100000 local investment and the need for a fair return. They pledge readiness to meet oil booms within sixty days.
