Cities Service says higher gas rate won’t raise customer bills
Cities Service Gas Co. says the Federal Power Commission’s base gas rate rise from 42 to 50 cents per thousand cubic feet will not trigger rate hikes for customers. A spokesman, Harry Ford of Oklahoma City, notes the increase still won’t let interstate pipelines outbid intrastate rivals not under FPC regulation. The higher rate applies to gas from wells started after January 1, 1973, and gas entering interstate commerce since that date.
