Plan to bring natural gas to Bluefield and Kentucky
Promoters led by A B Brede plan to lease about 60 000 acres in Kentucky and West Virginia for oil and gas development. The Pennagrade pipeline would extend to Bluefield with potential lines to Gary Bramwell and Paragould while Louisville demands shaped initial infrastructure. If successful, gas could be sold at 0.75 per 1000 cubic feet, supplying cheap heat and light and supporting a substantial gas field. The project envisages 100 associates organizing a corporation to lease the territory and finance the venture.
