Form County REA
Authority
Some 250 subscribers to rural el
ectric service gathered here for a
meeting Tuesday afternoon at the
call of County Agent Paul B. Ezell.
The^meeting was presided over by
Senator M. E. Abrams who explain
ed that the State REA had been dis
solved and that local co-operatives
would henceforth control the rural
lines. Newberry sought to form its
own co-operative rather than to be
absorbed by one of some adjoining
county.
It was brought out that under the
new system lines could be built with
a guarantee of $7 income per mile,
as against $13 under the State sys
tem. Old customers could come un
der the new system by paying a fee
«f $5.
Those attending the meeting were
highly in favor of forming an asso
ciation and officers as follows were
selected:
Callie Boyd Parr, President; R. E.
Livingston, Secretary; Eugene H.
Spearman, Vice President; W. B.
Boinest, Treasurer; William Hunter,
Attorney. Other members were,
George F. Scruggs, Dr. W. C.
Brown, Jim C. Duncan, B. O. Love
lace, and D. B. Ruff.
The county now has 192 miles of
lines, serving 933 customers.
