Gas firm loses appeal to SEC
The SEC denied Northern Natural Gas Company applications declaring it not a subsidiary of Lone Star Gas, United Light and Railways, United Light and Power, and North American Light and Power. Voting stock of 35 percent held by United Light and Railways and North American Light & Power plus 30 percent by Lone Star gave these firms controlling influence over the applicant. The commission said this influence requires the company to be treated as a subsidiary of registered holding companies for investor protection.
