Western division of the American Hockey league race today, thanks to a blazing finish which gained them a 4-4 deadlock with the Hershey! Bears at the Coliseum last night.

This ad is the first in a series, published because YOU = as a gas consumer are entitled to know the facts about” the Gas Utility. In this and in the ads to follow we are going to try and answer all the questions in your mind.

C.. Indianapolis have natural gas? Would it be cheaper? How do rates compare with other cities? What about taxes? Should the Gas Utility pay more taxes? What happens to the profits? What did the Gas Utility cost? Who owes how much to whom? Who runs the Gas Utility? Will there be plenty of gas in the days to come? Will there be gas for house heating? You are entitled to the answers—and here they are:

| Natural Gas in 1935

Back in 1935, when natural gas was available, the Gas Utility directors first weighed

Should it be manufactured gas be natural gas? Which was

cheaper? In finding an answer, a number of

onsidered: Should a 6! million

dollar manufacturing plant, just taken over, be junked? Should hundreds of men working at the gas plant be thrown out of work? Above all, could gas be made for less than natural gas was offered for sale?

An impartial and careful analysis showed that gas could be made for less money — pro-

income could be built up from It was very important that the le gas cost be secured, because ty needed quite a face-lifting.

g Service had to be improved. Pressure problems had to be solved. Gas mains had to be laid to sections of the city and county where people were living without gas service. Gas

Natural Gas for Tomorrow

In the past 11 years, only one additional battery of coke ovens was built, completed

just before Pearl Harbor.

old coke ovens was rebuilt out of reserves set aside for this purpose. The other equipment bought in the course of years is usable and will be needed when natural gas is added to boost the supply of gas. In 1945, natural gas rates were reduced. This makes it a bet“buy” NOW. Furthermore, additional manufactured gas equipment would be a costly way to increase gas-making capacity. The Gas Utility must be assured of an adequate supply of natural .gas at the right price. Adding natural gas to the present operation is a logical and sound business step.

It is unfortunate that war-caused business activity has so loaded natural gas pipe lines, that even natural gas cities are now curtailed in their use of gas. Indianapolis, along with other cities, must wait until a supply is available. There are several petitions before the Federal Power Commission for more pipe lines. The so called Big Inch and Little Inch oil lines are also a possibility, if they will be used for gas. At best, every city in this part of the country will have to wait a year or two, or longer, before natural

ter

gas will be available again.

It is impossible to say in advance if adding natural gas, when it becomes available, will reduce the rates. For one thing, natural gas rates are subject to changes—up as well as gulated by the Federal Power Comssion. Adding natural gas probably will reduce the rates, but that depends on many’ things—too far in the future, to promise

down —

today.

The fact of the matter is, that natural gas would not have meant lower gas rates or a better supply of gas for Indianapolis—up to now. For the future, natural gas as an added supply, is the logical step for the Gas Utility to take. That is the straight-from-the-shoulder information on natural gas. In the meantime, the gas plant with the auxillary equipment now under construction will do its level best to take care of the growing demands of our fine city, a city that has grown faster than the most optimistic had hoped...
