lx>ne Stra Gas today asked
the City of Dublin to increase
local residential and commercial
natural gas rates to enable the
company to earn a reasonable
rate of return on the fair value
of properties used in rendering
public service.
The application for rate in-
crease, the first major request
since 1053 based on an incom^
deficiency in the Dublin distri-
bution system, listed increased'
cost of gas, higher property and
equipment costs, increased wa-
ges and salaries, higher inter-
est rates on borrowed money
and increased taxes as primary
reasons for the deficiency.
The company indicated that
it had used every means avail-
able to avoid a request for rate
increase, but inflationary pres-,
sures not under the company's
control necessitated the appli-
cation.
“Obviously our wish to keep
gas rates low must be balanced
with the economic pressures
we face,” B. B. Warner, man-
ager of the Dublin distribution
office, said. "These pressures
can no longer be offset in any
other way.”
Approval of the company's
application would increase the
average monthly residential gas
bill by approximately $1.5(1.
Lone Star Gas serves approxi-
mately 1200 customers in Dub-
lin.
