Minnesota Company Agrees to Buy Cengas
Central Telephone and Utilities announces an agreement in principle to sell its natural gas distribution properties to Minnesota Gas Company at a net book value based price. Any gain or loss after tax is not expected to be material to 1976 net income. The deal may slow earnings per share but allows deferral of CTU equity sale and reduces 1976 borrowing. A joint filing with the South Dakota Public Utility Commission accompanies the proposal. Nebraska needs no similar state review for CTU’s 57 additional communities.
