Inch pipelines face Congress over final disposition
War Assets Administrator Robert M. Littlejohn told the House surplus property committee he will refer the Inch gas pipeline question back to Congress. The $145 million Big Inch and Little Inch lines span 1500 miles from Texas to New Jersey, now pumping 50 million cu ft of gas daily under wartime emergency leasing to ease coal strikes. Delivery to Ohio valley customers will take 5 days to two weeks, with plans to reach 155 million cu ft daily but only offset about 6,000 tons of coal daily. Gas entered the system at Natchitoches Louisiana.
