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."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/George%20B.%20Schwabe%20Collection%20/CAC_CC_047_1_0000_0000_0000-79th%20Congress,%201945-1947/CAC_CC_047_1_3_65_0000-Rural%20Electrification%20Administration,%201945-1946/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_047_1_3_65_0006_thumbnail.jpg "Delays in Rural Electrification: A Congressman's Response")

![["Congressman Schwabe has contacted the Rural Electrification Administration to inquire about when Mrs. Ples Mann and her neighbor, Mr. R. A. Ferguson, can expect to receive electrical service from their cooperative. It was found that an appropriation had been made for the construction of additional lines to serve them, but a new substation must be constructed before they can receive service. The estimated time for service to begin is in two to three months. Congressman Schwabe has asked for further information and assistance in this matter."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/George%20B.%20Schwabe%20Collection%20/CAC_CC_047_1_0000_0000_0000-79th%20Congress,%201945-1947/CAC_CC_047_1_3_66_0000-Rural%20Electrification%20Administration,%201946/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_047_1_3_66_0012_thumbnail.jpg "Title: Rural Electrification Update for Mrs. Ples Mann")
