Tenn., and substantial amounts "up and down the mainstem of the Tennes see River and on its major tribu taries. and in the lower Ohio and Mississippi Basins." Tho report was submitted to the President and Congress bv Board members Herbert P. Vogel. Chair man, A R Jones and Frank J. Welch. The report stated that for the third consecutive year more than hai; the power sold by TV A went to the Atomic Energy Commission and other defense agencies, and that power loads in the area, ex clusive of the requirements of Federal agencies, are growing at a rate of 750,000 to 800,000 kilowatts r. year. Earnings from the sale of clec tricitv maintained the 4 percent return on the average net invest ment in power facilities which has been the average return through out the 24 years of TVA operations.
