Cost of Making Gas Increased Signals Rising Rates
An examination of Brookline Gas Light Co. costs shows manufacturing gas with coal and oil averaging about 37.6 cts per M plus 20 cts for taxes and distribution, totaling roughly 57 cts per M. Naphtha enrichment adds about 12 cts per M, lifting material costs to 14-15 cts per M and supporting a current price around 40 cts per M for dividends. The report notes coal price rises and notes Dorchester and Jamaica Plain firms face similar pressure and discuss long term gas contracts and capacity constraints.

Gas Supply Costs Tie Boston Firms to Pipe Line
The Boston gas market faces higher costs if coal gas is pursued. A $2,000,000 capital addition would be needed to deliver gas with no more than 16 percent carbonic oxide, with the Massachusetts Pipe Line Gas Co. favored to supply enriched gas to multiple city firms under new contracts.
