electricity.
Newlon said finding a source
of water to fill the reservoir
could be a problem in central
Ohio. He said the businessmen
were thinking of filling it from
area streams and rivers.
Newlon said the businessmen
expected the double-deck reser
voir, costing an estimated SSOO
million, would produce the
mammoth total of 1,000 mega
watts.

Town loses free natural gas
CRYSTAL CITY, Tex. (aP) — Crystal City, the
“Spinach Capital of the World” with a statue of “Popeye
the Sailor Man” to prove it, battled the local gas company
for more than two years. It finally lost.
In defeat the townspeople, mostly Mexican-Americans
half of whom are on welfare, were scurrying about in
search of firewood, charcoal or butane to cook with.
“I guess we’re going to be like General Robert E. Lee. I
guess it’s a surrender,” said Mayor Francisco Benavides.
“We’ve fought as hard as we know how, but there’s
nothing else we can do. We just throw in the towel.”
For 2% years the town’s municipal utility which serves
2,000 customers of Lo-Vaca Gathering Co. has refused to
pay its bill, now almost SBOO,OOO. The town claims its 8,000
people simply didn’t have the money.

In the unregulated Texas gas market, Lo-Vaca had
given Crystal City a break, charging only 36 cents per
thousand cubic feet on gas it could have sold for as much
as $2.
Still, Cryst 1 City said it couldn’t pay and there the mat
ter rested.
Mayor Benavides, though resigned to the shut-off, flew
to Washington to appeal to Texas Sen. Lloyd Bentsen.
“We don’t expect miracles, but we have to try. There’s
no doubt in anyone’s mind there will be a cutoff,” said the
mayor who a few months ago had defied “even Gov. Dolph
Briscoe’s gendarmes" to try to stop the gas from coming
in.
“I don’t know what we will do without gas and I don’t
know how long we will be without,” he said.
