Gas Sales Up While Income Per Share Dips
LAKIN Colorado Interstate Gas reports nine months of 1957 gas sales rising 19.6 percent to 193.16 billion cubic feet from 161.51 billion, yet consolidated net income per share after dividends fell to $2.99 from $3.69 in 1956. Full-year net income for the period ending Sept 30, 1957 stood at $4.38 per share. Principal cause is higher gas purchase costs due to greater volumes of purchased gas, says President W. E. Mueller.
