Sloan Letter February 20, 1969 Lone Star Mr. J. C. Sloan Gas Co. Mayor, City of Georgetown Dear Mr. Sloan: Please find attached, a copy of news release from 'Ir. Jamey, President of Lone Star Gas Company, explaining; the intentions of the Company to submit an application to the Railroad Co;m;;ission to re- quest an increase in the rate of charge for gas received into our Distribution System through the city gate. I feel this release will be self explanatory, more or less, if you have further questions or need more information please feel free to call on us. Respectfully, Signed C. E. Porche Gas Company P:gUJ,UTION DLT'AlcT11LNT News iteleasa L0\L bTAii. GAS CUA: L\Y 301 South Marwood Street Dallas, Texas 752101 LUNL S'ia:c G,116 To PILL FuR CITY G. -.TL Li,,TL AWUbV\!LNT L. G. James, President of Lone Star Gas Co:;;pany, announced to- day that Lone Star has conmienced preparation of an application which it expects to file with the A; ilroad Comzuission of Texas in early summer to adjust upward the Company's authorized intracompany city gate charge for .-as delivered in Texas. Tile last application filed of such a nature by the Company was in December, 1958. James stated that the current city grate charge is insufficient to co;:ipensate for the increases in expenses and investment incurred by Lone Star's transmission division since 1958. According to James, Lone Star's transmission division has, since 1958, incurred substantial increases in the cost of gas purchased, Federal income taxes, other taxes, wages and salaries, the cost of debt money, capital construction, and the cost of such construction. Lone Star's transmission division purchases and gathers natural gas and transports it to the city gates on the system. Lone Star's distribution divisions receive and pay for gas at the city gate and distribute it to customers' premises. Jaynes said that residential and co;mnercial rates would not be iiiriediately affected by the filing with the a,ilroad Commission. After the new city gate charge is established and specific computations made for each city and town, requests would then be filed for increases in induvidual cities and towns where they are justified.
