                    WISCONSIN GAS COMPANY
         SUPPLEMENTAL RETIREMENT INCOME PROGRAM

1.    Purpose of the Program
The purpose of the Wisconsin Gas Company Supplemental Retirement Income 
Program (the "Program") is fivefold:  (i) to reimburse each designated 
corporate officer of Wisconsin Gas Company (the "Company"), WICOR, Inc., 
and/or WICOR Energy Services Company (in the aggregate, the "Employer") for 
any reduction in his benefit payments under the Wisconsin Gas Company Pension 
Plan for Non-Union Employees (the "Pension Plan") which may be caused by the 
limitations imposed thereon by Internal Revenue Code Section 415 (the "415 
Limit") or Internal Revenue Code Section 401(a)(17) (the "Compensation Limit") 
and/or by the exclusion from the definition of compensation under the Pension 
Plan of any earnings paid by Sta-Rite Industries, Inc. to its corporate 
officers, and any such earnings voluntarily deferred pursuant to a non-
qualified deferred compensation arrangement (the "Sta-Rite Exclusion"), any 
amounts voluntarily deferred from Employer salary pursuant to a non-qualified 
deferred compensation arrangement (the "Deferred Compensation Exclusion") or 
any bonuses (provided that any bonus payments shall be pro-rated on a monthly 
basis over the calendar year for which the bonus payments are applicable) (the 
"Bonus Exclusion"); (ii) to reimburse a corporate officer of the Company for 
any reduction in his employer or employee contribution allocations under the 
Wisconsin Gas Company Employees' Savings Plan (the "Savings Plan") which may 
be caused by the 415 Limit, the Compensation Limit, and/or by the Deferred 
Compensation Exclusion; (iii) to provide retirement income for any designated 
corporate officer retiring on or after January 1, 1987 to replace the post-
retirement life insurance benefit program which will not be available to 
anyone retiring after December 31, 1986; (iv) to provide incentive and reward 
to such officer through additional retirement income in recognition of his 
meritorious service and material contribution to the Employer's continued 
growth and development; and (v) to assist the Employer in retaining and 
attracting high caliber key executives upon whose efforts the future 
successful and profitable operation of its business is dependent.

2.    Effective Date
The Program was originally adopted effective as of January 1, 1983 as 
the replacement for the Wisconsin Gas Company Corporate Officer Post-
Retirement Benefit Plan in effect prior to that date.  This is an amendment 
and restatement of the Program and is effective January 1, 1997 for current 
and future participants.  The terms of the Program in effect prior to 
January 1, 1997 shall apply to any former participants who retired or 
otherwise terminated employment prior to that date.  Prior to January 1, 1997, 
the Program was known as the Wisconsin Gas Company Principal Officers' 
Supplemental Retirement Income Program.
3.    Participants in the Program
As of January 1, 1997, the Program covers Messrs. Wardeberg, Wenzler, 
Schrader, Donnelly, Nuernberg, Zeddun and Osborne.  Any officer of the 
Employer may be added as a participant by action of the Compensation Committee 
of the Board of Directors of WICOR, Inc

4.    Savings Plan Benefits
The Company shall establish a Savings Plan Bookkeeping Reserve Account 
(the "Reserve Account") for each participant as follows:
(a)   As of each December 31 during the participant's employment with 
the Employer as an officer commencing December 31, 1983, an amount 
shall be credited to the Reserve Account equal to the difference 
between (i) four percent (4%) of the participant's aggregate 
compensation as defined in the Savings Plan and the amount by 
which such compensation is reduced by the Deferred Compensation 
Exclusion and Compensation Limit for such calendar year; and (ii) 
the actual employer contribution to the Savings Plan allocable to 
the account of the participant for such calendar year, excluding 
any participant deposits thereunder and excluding the one percent 
(1%) additional match commencing November 1, 1991 as a result of 
the ESOP provision. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event a 
participant fails to make deposits equal to four percent (4%) of 
his Compensation as defined in the Savings Plan during a calendar 
year and such failure was not caused by the 415 Limit or the 
discrimination test of Internal Revenue Code Section 401(k)(3) as 
estimated by the Company, the reference to four percent (4%) in 
(i) above shall be reduced to the percentage of the participant's 
compensation as defined in the Savings Plan contributed by the 
participant to the Savings Plan for such year.
(b)   Pursuant to a salary reduction agreement, if any, executed by the 
Company and a participant in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A 
(the "Salary Reduction Agreement"), an amount shall be credited by 
the Company to the Reserve Account for such participant equal to 
the amount, if any, by which the participant's salary is reduced 
by the Salary Reduction Agreement (the "Pre-Tax Employee 
Contribution").  The credit to the Reserve Account for the Pre-Tax 
Employee Contribution shall be made as of the time specified in 
the Salary Reduction Agreement.  The Pre-Tax Employee Contribution 
under the Salary Reduction Agreement is a non-qualified deferred 
compensation agreement for purposes of computing the Deferred 
Compensation Exclusion under the Program.
(c)   The Salary Reduction Agreement may also provide that the 
participant will contribute an amount to the Company to be 
credited to the Reserve Account for such participant (the "Post-
Tax Employee Contribution").  The credit to the Reserve Account 
for the Post-Tax Employee Contribution shall be made as of the 
time specified in the Salary Reduction Agreement and may be made 
by payroll deduction or other method provided therein.
(d)   As of the last day of each month, commencing January 31, 1984, and 
prior to any distribution pursuant to subparagraphs (e) and (f) 
below, an additional amount shall be credited to the Reserve 
Account as an interest equivalent on the balance credited to the 
Reserve Account as of the last day of the previous month.  The 
interest rate earned will be that rate earned for such month by 
the "Stable Value Fund" under the Savings Plan

<PAGE>
<PAGE>  3
(e)   Payment of the amounts credited to the Reserve Account for each 
participant shall commence during the month of January immediately 
following the calendar year in which occurs the participant's 
termination of employment with the Employer and shall be made in a 
lump sum.  A transfer of employment to Sta-Rite Industries, Inc. 
or other affiliated entity shall not be treated as a termination 
of employment causing a required distribution hereunder.
(f)   In the event of a participant's death before benefits hereunder 
have been paid to him, any amount allocated to the Reserve Account 
shall be paid in a lump sum in the month following such death to 
such beneficiary or beneficiaries as the participant shall 
designate by written instrument delivered to the Secretary of the 
Company, or if no such written instrument is properly delivered or 
if such designated beneficiary predeceases the participant, to the 
executors, administrators, or personal representatives of the 
participant's estate.
(g)   The Reserve Account shall be utilized solely as a device for the 
measurement and determination of the amount to be paid to a 
participant at the times specified above for the payment of 
Savings Plan benefits.  Neither the Reserve Account nor any other 
reserve established on the Company's books to reflect the 
liabilities under this Program shall constitute or be treated as a 
trust fund of any kind.  On the contrary, it is expressly agreed 
and understood that the Company shall not be required to set aside 
any assets with respect hereto and that any assets actually held 
by the Company with reference to this Program shall be and remain 
the sole property of the Company, and that neither a participant 
nor a participant's beneficiaries, heirs, legal representatives or 
assigns shall have ownership rights of any nature with respect 
thereto, unless and until such time as such assets are paid over 
and transferred to the participant or the participant's 
beneficiaries, as herein provided.
(h)   The Program shall accept a transfer from the Sta-Rite Industries 
Officers' Supplemental Retirement Income Program ("Sta-Rite 
Supplemental Plan") for Joseph P. Wenzler of the obligations and 
liabilities under Section 4 thereof with respect to a deferred 
savings plan account, which amount shall be treated as the opening 
balance of said individual's Reserve Account.

5.    Pension Plan Benefits
(a)   Eligibility.  This paragraph applies to (i) Messrs. Wardeberg, 
Wenzler, Schrader and Donnelly and (ii) any other officer who was 
a named Program participant on January 1, 1997 in paragraph 3 who 
is a corporate officer immediately prior to his eligibility for 
normal or early retirement from the Employer under the terms of 
the Pension Plan

<PAGE>
<PAGE>  4
(b)   Definitions.  For purposes of this paragraph, "Unrestricted 
Pension Benefit" means the amount which would have been payable 
from the Pension Plan if the (i) 415 Limit, (ii) Compensation 
Limit, (iii) Sta-Rite Exclusion, (iv) Bonus Exclusion, and (v) 
Deferred Compensation Exclusion did not apply, calculated as of 
the participant's date of retirement or pre-retirement death, as 
applicable, based on the applicable optional payment method, but 
subject to adjustment from time to time for applicable cost of 
living increases.  "Restricted Benefit Amount" means the amount 
actually payable from the Pension Plan calculated as of the 
participant's date of retirement or pre-retirement death based on 
the applicable optional payment method, but subject to adjustment 
from time to time for applicable cost of living increases and for 
reductions in the 415 Limit.
(c)   Married Participants - Joint and Survivor Annuity.  A participant 
who is lawfully married at his retirement date and elects to 
receive his benefits from the Pension Plan in any joint and 
survivor annuity form available thereunder with his spouse 
designated as the survivor annuitant, shall receive a monthly 
supplement for his lifetime.  The supplement shall be equal to the 
difference between (i) the Unrestricted Pension Benefit payable on 
a life only annuity basis under the terms of the Pension Plan and 
(ii) the Restricted Benefit Amount payable on a joint and fifty 
percent (50%) survivor annuity basis under the terms of the 
Pension Plan.  If the participant predeceases his spouse, fifty 
percent (50%) of such difference shall then be paid monthly to his 
surviving spouse during her lifetime.  If both the participant and 
his spouse die prior to the end of the ten (10) year period 
commencing on his retirement date, fifty percent (50%) of the 
aggregated monthly amount received by him under the Pension Plan 
and this subparagraph 5(a) shall be paid for the balance of such 
ten (10) year period to the beneficiary designated in writing by 
him for that purpose or, in the absence of such a designated 
beneficiary, to the estate of the last survivor of the participant 
and his spouse.
(d)   Unmarried Participants - Ten-Year Certain Annuity.  A participant 
who is unmarried at his retirement date and elects to receive his 
benefits from the Pension Plan in the ten (10) year period certain 
annuity form available thereunder, shall receive a monthly 
supplement for his lifetime.  The supplement shall be equal to the 
difference between (i) the Unrestricted Pension Benefit payable on 
a life only annuity basis under the terms of the Pension Plan and 
(ii) the Restricted Benefit Amount payable in a ten (10) year 
period certain annuity form under the terms of the Pension Plan.  
If the participant dies prior to the end of the ten (10) year 
period commencing on his retirement date, the supplement shall be 
paid for the balance of such ten (10) year period to the 
beneficiary designated in writing by him for the purpose or, in 
the absence of such a designated beneficiary, to the estate of the 
participant.

<PAGE>
<PAGE>  5
(e)   Lump Sum Pension Plan Distribution.  A participant who elects to 
receive his benefits from the Pension Plan in a lump sum 
distribution at his retirement date shall receive a supplement 
hereunder based on the difference between (i) the Unrestricted 
Pension Benefit, and (ii) the Restricted Benefit Amount, both 
calculated on a life only annuity basis.  In the event the lump 
sum value of such difference payable on a monthly life only 
annuity basis calculated using the Pension Plan factors is less 
than $100,000, such amount shall be paid to the participant in a 
lump sum with no survivor benefits.  In the event the lump sum 
value is $100,000 or more, the difference between (i) and (ii) 
above shall be paid monthly to the participant for his lifetime.  
If the participant predeceases the spouse to whom he was married 
at his retirement date, if any, fifty percent (50%) of such 
monthly supplement shall be paid monthly to his surviving spouse 
during her lifetime.  If both the participant and his spouse, if 
applicable, die prior to the end of the ten (10) year period 
commencing on his retirement date, fifty percent (50%) of such 
supplement to the participant shall be paid for the balance of 
such ten (10) year period to the beneficiary designated in writing 
by him for that purpose or, in the absence of such a designated 
beneficiary, to the estate of the last survivor of the participant 
and his spouse as of his retirement date, if any.

6.    Pension Plan Benefits-Other Participants
(a)   Eligibility.  All Program participants who are not eligible for 
benefits under paragraph 5 shall be eligible under this paragraph 
if they are vested under the Pension Plan with five (5) years of 
vesting service.
(b)   Definitions.  For purposes of this paragraph, "Unrestricted 
Pension Benefit" means the amount which would have been payable 
from the Pension Plan if the (i) Compensation Limit and (ii) 
Deferred Compensation Exclusion did not apply, calculated as of 
the participant's date of retirement or pre-retirement death, as 
applicable, based on the applicable optional payment method, but 
subject to adjustment from time to time for applicable cost of 
living increases.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, for any Program 
participant who is a corporate officer immediately prior to his 
eligibility for normal or early retirement from the Employer under 
the terms of the Pension Plan, the applicable limits shall also 
include the (i) 415 Limit, (ii) Sta-Rite Exclusion and (iii) Bonus 
Exclusion.  "Restricted Benefit Amount" has the meaning provided 
in subparagraph 5(b).

<PAGE>
<PAGE>  6
(c)   Benefit.  An eligible participant shall receive a monthly 
supplement equal to the difference between (i) the Unrestricted 
Pension Benefit and (ii) the Restricted Benefit Amount, both 
calculated according to the form of payment elected for his 
Pension Plan benefits.  The supplement shall be paid for the 
participant's lifetime, and in the event the participant's death 
and payment election form cause a Pension Plan payment to a 
beneficiary, a portion of the supplement shall be paid to such 
beneficiary during the period of any related Pension Plan payment.  
The portion of the supplement to be paid shall equal the portion 
of the participant's Pension Plan benefit which is continued for 
such beneficiary.

7.    Pension Plan Benefits-Pre-Retirement Death
(a)   Eligibility.  In the event of the pre-retirement death of a 
Program participant, the beneficiary or beneficiaries of any death 
benefits under the Pension Plan shall be eligible for death 
benefits under this paragraph.
(b)   Definitions.  For purposes of this paragraph, "Unrestricted 
Pension Benefit" means the amount which would have been payable to 
the beneficiary from the Pension Plan if the applicable limits did 
not apply, calculated as of the participant's date of pre-
retirement death, based on the applicable optional payment method, 
but subject to adjustment from time to time for applicable cost of 
living increases.  The applicable limits for the beneficiaries 
shall be those applicable to the participant pursuant to paragraph 
5(b) or 6(b). Notwithstanding the foregoing, for purposes of the 
supplemental benefit related to the 20% and 5% benefits under 
Section 6.07 of the Pension Plan, the Bonus Exclusion shall not be 
an applicable limit.

8.   Supplemental Retirement Benefits
Supplemental retirement benefits shall be available to an eligible 
participant who is a corporate officer immediately prior to his normal or 
early retirement from the Employer under the terms of the Pension Plan.  The 
eligible participants are Messrs. Schrader, Nuernberg, Osborne, and Zeddun.  
The monthly supplement is equal to $2,083.33 ($25,000 annually) and shall 
commence to the participant at the later of attainment of age sixty-five (65) 
or retirement.  Payments shall be made as of the first day of the month 
commencing with the month following the qualifying event and shall continue 
for one hundred eighty (180) months.  If the participant dies (i) after 
commencement of benefits but prior to the end of the fifteen (15) year period 
or (ii) after retirement but prior to attainment of age sixty-five (65), the 
supplement shall be paid for the balance of such period to the beneficiary 
designated in writing by him for that purpose or, in the absence of such a 
designated beneficiary, to the estate of the participant.  Payments under (ii) 
above shall commence as of the month following the participant's death and 
shall continue for the fifteen (15) year period.

<PAGE>  7
9.    Administration of the Program
The Program shall be administered by the Wisconsin Gas Company Employee 
Benefit Plan Committee (the "Committee"); provided that a participant in the 
Program who is a Committee member may not participate in any Committee action 
regarding his benefits hereunder.  The Committee shall have all such powers 
that may be necessary to carry out the provisions of the Program in the 
absence of any action by the Board, including without limitation, the power to 
delegate administrative matters to other persons, to construe and interpret 
the Program, to adopt and revise rules, regulations and forms relating to and 
consistent with the Program's terms and to make any other determinations which 
it deems necessary or advisable for the implementation and administration of 
the Program; provided, however, that the right and power to amend and/or 
terminate the Program are reserved exclusively to the Board.  Subject to the 
foregoing, all decisions and determinations by the Committee shall be final, 
binding and conclusive as to all parties, including without limitation the 
Company, any participant hereunder and all other employees and persons.

10.    Source of Benefit Payments
No funds or other assets of the Company shall be segregated and 
attributable to any benefit payments to be made at a later time as hereinabove 
provided, but rather benefit payments under the Program shall be made from the 
general assets of the Company at the time any such payment becomes due and 
payable.  Benefit payments under the Program are to be taken as deductions for 
income tax purposes in the Company's fiscal year that they are actually made.  
At such time as any benefit payments are made, it shall be determined by the 
Company whether any portion thereof is allocable to WICOR, Inc., or other 
affiliates because of their recipient having also served as a corporate 
officer of any or all of those corporations; and, if such is the case, the 
Company shall obtain reimbursement from such entities, as appropriate, for 
such allocable portion.  No participant or surviving spouse or beneficiary 
thereof shall have any proprietary rights of any nature whatsoever with 
respect to any benefit payments, unless and until such time a benefit payment, 
and then only as to the amount of such payment, is made to such participant or 
the surviving spouse or beneficiaries thereof, as the case may be.

11.    Non-Alienation of Payments
Any benefits payable under the Program shall not be subject in any 
manner to alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, attachment, 
garnishment or encumbrance of any kind, by will, or by inter vivos instrument.  
Any attempt to alienate, sell, transfer, assign, pledge or otherwise encumber 
any such benefit payment, whether currently or thereafter payable, shall not 
be recognized by the Committee or the Company.  Any benefit payment due 
hereunder shall not in any manner be liable for or subject to the debts or 
liabilities of any participant or the surviving spouse or beneficiary thereof, 
as the case may be.  If any such participant, surviving spouse or beneficiary 
shall attempt to alienate, sell, transfer, assign, pledge or otherwise 
encumber any benefit payments to be made to that person under the Program or 
any part thereof, or if by reason of such person's bankruptcy or other event 
happening at any time, such payments would devolve upon anyone else or would 
not be enjoyed by such person, then the Committee, in its discretion, may 
terminate such person's interest in any such benefit payment, and hold or 
apply it to or for the benefit of that person, the spouse, children, or other 
dependents thereof, or any of them, in such manner as the Committee may deem 
proper

<PAGE>
<PAGE>  8
12.    Incompetency
Every person receiving or claiming benefit payments under the Program 
shall be conclusively presumed to be mentally competent until the date on 
which the Committee receives a written notice, in a form and manner acceptable 
to the Committee, that such person is incompetent and that a guardian, 
conservator, or other person legally vested with the care of his estate has 
been appointed.  In the event a guardian or conservator of the estate of any 
person receiving or claiming benefit payments under this Program shall be 
appointed by a court of competent jurisdiction, payments may be made to such 
guardian or conservator; provided that proper proof of appointment and 
continuing qualification is furnished in a form and manner acceptable to the 
Committee.  Any such payment so made shall be a complete discharge of any 
liability therefor.

13.    Limitation of Rights against the Employer
Participation in this Program, or any modifications thereof, or the 
payments of any benefits hereunder, shall not be construed as giving to any 
participant any right to be retained in the service of the Employer, limiting 
in any way the right of the Employer to terminate such participant's 
employment at any time, evidencing any agreement or understanding express or 
implied, that the Employer will employ such participant in any particular 
position or at any particular rate of compensation and/or guaranteeing such 
participant any right to receive any other form or amount of remuneration from 
the Employer.

14.    Construction
The Program shall be construed, administrated and governed in all 
respects under and by the laws of the State of Wisconsin.  Wherever any words 
are used herein in the masculine, they shall be construed as though they were 
used in the feminine for all cases where they would so apply; and wherever any 
words are used herein in the singular or the plural, they shall be construed 
as though they were used in the plural or the singular, as the case may be, in 
all cases where they would so apply.  The words "hereof", "herein", 
"hereunder" and other similar compounds of the word "here" shall mean and 
refer to this entire document and not to any particular paragraph.

15.    Liability
Neither the Company nor any shareholder, director, officer or other 
employee of the Company or any member of the Committee or any other person 
shall be jointly or severally liable for any act or failure to act hereunder, 
except for gross negligence or fraud

<PAGE>
<PAGE>  9
16.    Amendment or Termination of the Program
The Company, by action of the Board, reserves the right to amend, 
modify, terminate or discontinue the Program at any time; and such action 
shall be final, binding and conclusive as to all parties, including any 
participant hereunder, any surviving spouse or beneficiary thereof and all 
other Employer employees and persons; provided, however, that any such Board 
action to terminate or discontinue the Program or to change the monthly 
payment amount or the time and manner of payment thereof as then provided in 
the Program shall not be effective and operative unless and until written 
consent thereto is obtained from each participant affected by such action or, 
if any such participant is not then living, from the surviving spouse or 
beneficiary thereof, as the case may be.

17.    Successors or Assigns
The terms and conditions of the Program, as amended and in effect from 
time to time, shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of the Company, 
including without limitation any entity into which the Company may be merged 
or with which the Company may be consolidated.
