Lubbock May Hike Natural Gas Rate for City Use
City director of electric utilities N B McCullough told the Electric Utilities Board that Pioneer Natural Gas Co proposes raising the rate from 19 to 21 cents per 1000 cubic feet effective Oct 1. The change would raise annual gas costs to about 1000000 for 1966 67, with no expected rise in electrical rates for residents or businesses. Pioneer is the citys sole supplier and the contract expires Oct 1. Last year Lubbock Power and Light used 4.8 million cubic feet costing 954000.
