Shaw sought 56000 and Governor Holloway proposed 45000 as a compromise. The Oklahoma Natural Gas Corp valuation was cut to 11545276 from 11800713 and will be reviewed next meeting. Changes in pipeline prices and Tulsa real estate values contributed to the cut. Southwestern Bell Telephone was assessed against 16275446 last year.
