Columbia Gas Plan to Buy Canadian Gas for Storage
Columbia Gas Transmission Corp has received federal approval to buy 15 billion cubic feet of gas from TransCanada Pipeline Ltd for storage to meet peak demand. Delivery of about 15 bef per day will start when Canadian demand eases, not to relieve current industrial shortages. The move targets storage deficits from before Nov. 1 after a historically cold October.

Columbia Gas Seeks Emergency Gas Delivery Plan
Columbia Gas of Ohio asks the Public Utilities Commission for immediate approval of a plan to deliver several billion cubic feet of emergency gas to schools and other high priority customers. The plan would spread 3 to 7 billion cubic feet of additional, more expensive gas cost at about 3.25 dollars per thousand cubic feet across affected customers, raising bills by 5 to 11 cents per thousand cubic feet over 12 months. Marvin E. White says the plan aims to limit further curtailments during a historically cold January, complying with state law that allocates short term emergency gas costs to eligible customers.

Utility plans to curb gas curtailments amid severe寒 cold
White indicated higher curtailments for commercial and industrial users may be needed before January end to offset heavy gas use from extreme cold. Columbia may reduce or avoid curtailment if emergency gas is secured and PUCO approves. The plan would bypass a survey of curtailed customers and speed delivery at minimum price.

Ice Buildup Warns of River Trouble in Cincinnati
Veterans W C Beatty and Capt. John Beatty warn the Ohio River faces a severe ice year as a first full freeze in 14 years grips Cincinnati. The Mike Fink, a 500-ton riverboat restaurant, is trapped by 10 inches of ice near Covington while Beaty positions ice breakers and a tug to shield it. The elder Beatty recalls the 1917 18 winter and a 1918 disaster when ice wrecked many boats, underscoring fears for upriver Licking and Miami rivers and the riverfront.
