THE TENNESSEAN, Thursday, June 26, 1980 Paver Pleads Guilt on Jobs Let by Metro Metro government. In a second charge the executive was accused of mail fraud in connection with a $107,013.75 payoff he allegedly received from Inter-State. He also pleaded guilty to that charge. According to the statement of facts in the case read in federal court here yesterday by FBI special agent John Gisler, meetings involving Tennessee Blacktop and others about rigging Metro contracts were part of "an established system" and were held "at various locations, normally at Inter-State Construction Co. on Nolensville Road." (Continued from Page 17) The total cost of the three projects comes to approximately $10.8 million, state records show.

BURNS WAS CHARGED with submitting "collusive, noncompetitive and rigged bids" to In describing the alleged conspiracy on Metro contracts, Gisler said Burns met with officials from en, Inter Tennessee Paving Co. of Murfeesboro, and Road Builders Inc. of Nashville at the Sheraton South on Harding Road. "THE MEETING WAS called by Carl Inter State for the overt purpose of playing poker," Gisler said. "This purpose was used because the contractors had heard they might be under investigation." While the 10-month probe into corruption in the state's paving industry continues, state officials are preparing to award several road contracts tomorrow.

Inter-State is low bidder four projects totaling about $581,000, state officials said. The Nashville firm was allowed bid on state contracts when it agreed last week to pay the state of Tennessee $1 million. THE FOUR JOBS ARE in DeKalb, Giles and Hawkins counties, officials said. In other bid rigging developments yesterday, Inter-State1 was from doing any further business in Virginia, according to reports from the Richmond Times-Dispatch. Three other Tennessee companies M.C.

Sumner Countian Charged in Death GALLATIN A Sumner County man was charged with first-degree murder yesterday in the shotgun slaying of James (Bubba) Parks, 67, who was found slumped over his tractor Monday afternoon. Sheriff Mayo Wix said James Odell Mooneyham, about 60, was a suspect early in the investigation. "WE LOOKED FOR him all night," Wix said, "and then some of his family called me and said they found him over in Robertson said they were bringing him in." Wix said Mooneyham was a hunting companion of Parks in recent years and had in the past few weeks been living at Parks' two-room house in the New Deal Community.

The sheriff declined to comment on details of the case, other than to say that there "probably was some drinking going on" before the shooting. BOND WAS SET at $100,000, Wix said. Parks was found about 3:30 p.m. Monday, a deer slug in his head and his body slumped over the steering wheel of his tractor in the front yard of his home. Services for Parks will be at 2 p.m.

TVA Predicts Summer Power Plentiful shortages three years ago that had turntables spinning slower, lights glowing dimmer and nearly everyone afraid a brownout any minute would shut down air conditioners? Not a chance well, almost not a chance this year, says TVA, the behemoth government utility that generates electricity for 8 million residents in seven states. "BARRING UNFORESEEN developments, the bottom line is we'll be able to meet our loads this summer without undue difficulty," Randall Littrell, chief of the TVA system's load branch, said yesterday.

"It may be a little tight at times and we may have to get into some of our higher-cost power sources, but we don't anticipate any kind of emergency he said. With 30 dams, 12 coal-fired plants and three nuclear reactors, TVA supplies power for Tennessee, about one-fourth of of of of of of Mississippi and Alabama, and smaller areas of North Carolina, Kentucky, Virginia and Georgia. IT HAS NOT HAD a critical summer power shortage problem since 1977, when its peak summer demand for electricity hit 18.95 million kilowatts in July. When it occurred, TVA cut its voltage cut power to some industrial users and pleaded with businesses to use less light and homeowners to raise thermostats. Rotating brownouts were planned, but officials never resorted to them.

TVA predicts a record summer peak this year of 20.37 millon kilowatts as soon as the average KNOXVILLE (AP) Remember the power temperature across the region hits 96 degrees. "WE'RE STILL NOT sure what the impacts of recession and conservation will be on the power system," Littrell said. "If anything, the peak probably will be a little less than that." The maximum power that can be made if every TVA unit is operating at full throttle is 27.4 million kilowatts. With repairs and maintenance, TVA counts on having no more than 21 million to 22 million kilowatts this summer. The difference between 1977 and now is several changes in the power system.

TVA is getting 1 million kilowatts of peak capacity out of its $320 million Raccoon Mountain pumped storage plant, the only power plant completed in the past three years. A $135 MILLION renovation of its coal-burning plants has cut breakdowns in half, unusually high rainfalls have boosted hydro production and the three-reactor Browns Ferry nuclear plant has had its best record since it opened in 1974. Because of the recession and a wide-ranging conservation program, the summer demand for TVA electricity has grown only 1.6% since a year ago, Littrell said.
