Lone Star Gas seeks restoration of 40 cent city gate charge
Lone Star Gas asks Texas Railroad Commission to restore its intracom pany city gate charge to 40 cents per thousand cubic feet for domestic and commercial gas, reversing the 1942 reduction to 30 cents. The company argues 17 years without change and cites rising field costs, wages, materials, and taxes as justification. It asserts the need to acquire new gas supplies to remain competitive and fund adequate service. The 30 cent charge yields about 2.91 percent on its Transmission Division value estimated at not less than $97 million. The proposal includes a gas cost adjustment clause with continued RCC oversight.
