New Plan For Korean Talks Robert Ward Testifies In Gas Rate Hearing
A Santa Fe attorney asked the State Public Service Commission to sift out self praise before approving Southern Union Gas Company rate hikes. Robert Ward argued two witnesses’ testimony was not material to the issues. President C. H. Zachary defended increases totaling over 800,000 annually. Chief Engineer Van Johnson described system expansions since 1945 and a 600000 peak shaving plant plan to ease shortages. Johnson noted 39 new wells in the San Juan Basin this year, 60 more by year end, totaling 280 wells. Ward warned Albuquerque costs are higher due to local conditions and shouldn’t be borne by Southeastern residents.
