CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS. ت The Council had before it the request for space assignments for SOUTHERN UNION GAS COMPANY. Councilman Bechtol asked that the consultant on the Power Plant and Low Water Dam make a statement regarding this. MR. D.N. HIGGINS, Consultant Engineer, Brown & Root, stated that Mr. Dexter Kinney had inquired of this firm regarding the placement of the gas lines, and that Brown & Root had expressed the opinion that in general and on principle, they objected to a gas line going across the bridge, where it is the sole source of fuel for the Power Plant that is as important as the one the City is now undertaking. He said that when consideration was taken of what it would mean to get a gas line in there--where the gas line comes in from south of the city across the flats and through the gravel beds, it would be necessary to excavate in specific places from 40 to 45', which could be done, but which would be difficult in wet gravel--the cost of the line would be what they consider prohibitive. He stated that in view of the fact that from the history of gas lines as such, that they have been allowed to go on railroad rights-of-way, etc., that the best place to put this one is across the bridge, which was designed to take lines as set up by the City when the project was designed. He recommended that the wall thickness of the pipe line itself should be increased to provide a safety factor, which was recommended and proposed by the Gas Company. He said that MR. KINNEY, Director of Utilities, had also recommended this, and that Brown & Root backed up Mr. Kinney's recommendation; and that the Gas Company did also. Mr. Higgins stated that the one 16" line could go into some existing openings provided and on supports; and if the line is painted the same color as the gates, there would be no objections and he said he thought it was to the most economical thing to do. After discussion, Councilman White offered the following resolution and moved its adoption: (RESOLUTION) WHEREAS, Southern Union Gas Company has presented to the City Council tentative maps or plans showing the proposed construction of its gas mains in the streets in and adjacent to the City of Austin hereafter named, and said maps or plans have been considered by the City Council; therefore, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF AUSTIN: THAT Southern Union Gas Company be and the same is hereby permitted to lay and construct its gas mains, in and upon the following streets: (1) A gas main in PLEASANT VALLEY ROAD, from East Riverside Drive southerly to Dead End, the centerline of which gas main shall be 2.00 feet west of and parallel to the east property line of said PLEASANT VALLEY ROAD.

Mr. Ed St. John, Chamber of Commerce, stated the Chamber of Commerce, Recreation Department, and Community Council will sponsor RECREATION MONTH in June. MR. DON HIGGINS, Consulting Engineer from Brown & Root Engineers, gave the second Interim Report on the Holly Street Power Station, reading the report. (Interim Report No. 2 on file under POWER PLANT, Holly Street Station) In line with the increase in population and the far-sighted program of expansion of the Plant as proposed by the Electrical Department, Mr. Higgins submitted a chart showing the actual killowatt hours and estimated as follows: ) October, 1959 November, 1959 December, 1.1959 January, 1960 February, 1960 March; 1960 Actual KWH 45.2 37.2 38.6 39.0 37.0 40.0 Estimted KWH 48.7 38.5 36.4 38.1 36.4 40.8 Mr. Higgins complimented the work done by the City forces in the erection of the machine and equipment stating the cost of the erection was in line with any one else's, and the job could not have been done any better by any other. Mr. Higgins pointed out a saving in the cost of the Station, due to a good market when the major equipments such as turbines, boiler, condensers, etc., were bought in 1958, having been requisitioned before that; and due to plans and specifications being complete; and due to the city's purchasing certain items, which normally would be in the construction contract, and the city's getting excellent prices. He suggested that since the City had options on major equipment from its last purchases, that it consider exercising these options so that it could get a place in the construction schedule three or four years from now when it would need the equipment, and so that the manufacturers could make commitments for their steel on the present low price steel markets. The Mayor complimented Mr. Higgins, and stated the Council had been wise in selecting Brown and Root Consulting Engineers, and that they had done a wonderful job, as did Mr. Zachry in the construction part The Mayor asked Mr. Higgins his opinion of the atomic energy plants, and Mr. Higgins stated he had written some comments on the proposal that had been sent to the City; and it was his opinion that there would be from five to ten million dollars spent by the City for experimental purposes, in addition to high cost power, and extra training of operators for the atomic energy operation. He stated this recommendation was backed up by the Electric World report. Councilman Bechtol commended the City forces in the part they did in the work of the Power Plant. Councilman Palmer stated he would like to add commendation also to the firm of Brown and Root for the clear plans and specifications that they submitted and for the fine job. The Mayor stated that appreciation should also be expressed to the city personnel and to the Zachry Company for its excellent work. The Mayor submitted a letter from MRS.
