Gas Employees Told of Ever Rising Cost
R W Curran of Arkansas Louisiana Gas disclosed at a 1953 report meeting that natural gas remains abundant in the Southwest yet prices have risen about 125 percent since 1949 due to competition from long distance transmission lines. He noted annual gas-purchase bills climbing from 4 million in 1949 to over 13.6 million in 1953. Curran said expansion plans for 1954 include a $35 million three-year program, with 2,122 employees serving 224,425 customers. The company must borrow for expansion, offering reasonable returns to attract investors, officials said. Attendees included J C Hamilton, W M Little, John Taylor, and George B Tyler, with workers from Stamps, Prescott, Gordon, Nashville, Ashdown, Mineral Springs, Washington, and Lewisville.
