Tel. 1534-L NASHVILLE, Tenn. (UP) Ti kerosene lamp era in the Tennessee valley farm area Is passing and even the leal buttle between the TV A tnd the public utilities, regardless of the result, will have little effect on rural progress. Farmers are sitting back and watch ing the dramatic fight, assured that they von will have full benefit of electric power. Their assurance is based on a new policy of the Ten nessee Electric Power company. According to David Ltllienthal. di rector of the TVA, only two percent of the farmers In this area now re ceive electric power. For years the Tennessee .aectrlc Power company has neglected them, according to re corded testimony, and even ha re fused their plea for service because It was not profitable. New Lines Put In. Now. however, with new counties signing TVA agreements every day. Tepco has rushed construction crews over the state, stringing up lines, which in many instances serve only one or two oustomers In an entire community. The sudden spread of the power company's system into rural areas heretofore neglected. Is traceable to the agreement two years ago between the TVA and power companies In Tennessee, Alabama and Georgia. For a reduction In rates on the part of utilities. TVA agreed not to enter any area already served by one of the utilities until the completion of Norrls dam. Farmers In this area have hailed the coming of TVA and the promised cheap rural power. Seek to Circumvent TVA. On the other hand, the power com pany, realizing that If and when the low cost rural systems are set up, customers in towns and cities on al ready established systems will clam or for further reduced rates or TVA service, are trying to keep TVA out by getting In ahead and holding the authority to the old agreement. There Is nothing unethical about Tepco's sudden bid for rural custom ers. It la no mor- than any business does In 1U efforts to elim inate competition and ge into areas ahead of rivals. However, protests from county and municipal authorl- j ties are being made. Recently, the mayor of Pulaski. Tenn., W. R. Rackley. issued a state ment in which he called Tepco s tac- j tics "unfair." , "It is quite clear that the ral pur- ! pose of the power company la to block j our progreea, for many Giles county j (Pulaski) farmers tell us that the company is not soliciting them for service, though the new lines run, past their farms," he said. Airrerment With TVA. The Pula-k! muntcipally-owned power plant recently signed an agree- , ment with TVA whereby the auth- j ortty would buiWl lines and turn i them over to the Pulaski plant for j distribution of cheap power to the i rural areas. j J. E. DeFord. chairman of the Hot- : din couunty rural electrification committee, has sought an injunction ; against Tepco putting in lines after j plans were completed for the county to get TVA service. The case 1$ pend ing in court. Dayton county borrowed 138,000 j from TVA subsidiaries to extend cheap power to its communities and im- j mediately the power company began setting up poles along its best high ways "after 23 years of neglect," of ficials charged. A similar situation has arisen In Rutherford county, where C. F. Holt, j chairman of the local campaign, an nounced that Rutherford county was going a-head with efforts to obtain cheap power and that no customers signed by Tepco would be approached.
