Scope and Contents

The Meinzer family from Chelsea, Oklahoma had been waiting for their electricity connection since 1939, but due to material shortages and lack of suitable bids from contractors, the construction of power lines to their property had been delayed. Congressman Schwabe's office had taken up the matter with the Rural Electrification Administration, who assured that the lines would be built as soon as materials became available. The family had reached out to Congressman Schwabe for assistance, and his office was actively working to expedite the process.
