Louisiana Company Enters This State Expecting to
 Cover Full Territory
IT IS TO BE PIPED
Ah"rh'y Declares He Has Sufficient Flo" of Natural Gas For all
 Purposes in this State.

Pine Bluff aS well as ptr,er nointa Ill this state is to have natural Eas} & % cents or less per thousand feet. according to tbe announcement or the Arkansas Natural Gas Com- pdhH ot Delaware, which has flied ar tcles Of incorporation in this state. and anticipates the piping of natural gas from Louis ma gas fields.
 The company already has extensive holdings i'll Louisiana and the fepre- sentatlFes assert that they have eIey- ell wells bottled up in I Iouisjana awaiting market. The company will ask for an extended franchise setting the maximum price which the com panN may charge for gas at .JO cents. ihe representatives of the company declare however. that the price would not be that high and called attention to d franchise in Texas. which also sets the maximum rate at 50 cents. but the price charged is only 20 cents
 Attorney Dcnning who has mapped the proposed line from the Louisiana ont the pipe line, showed a map of field to Little Rock, the terminus of the proposed line The line would be a l6-inch one from the field to Tu- pelo, where a compresSing station would be built, and from Tupelo on to Little Rock would be a 12-inch line. The line would pass through and be connected by means of later als with Hope, Arkadelphia. Benton, Malvern Prescott. Gurdon, Hot Springs and Pine Bluff The latter two cities would be reached by long latcrals from the main line.
 The company holds outright or holds under lease about S0,O00 acres of proven gas territory in the Caddo gas field, on which are eleven wells capable of prcducine 25o 00o,Oo0 cu- bic feet of natural gas per day" de- clared MT Denning One well is capable of producing 3o.0o0000 feet per day
 lt is estimated that it would be eighteen months or two years before the gas would be supplied in this state providing the company is granted franchises Mr. Dennng de- clared that the task of building the line from Louisiana here is of unus- ual magnitude on account of the en- gineering and other problems, such
 as cutting through woodlands and blasting roadwayS.
 He stated that the proposed line has already been surveyed and that now a contractor is about to start over the line for the purpose of gath ering data in order that he may make an intelligent bid on the cost of it's
 construction Mir Denning stated that the contractor would either walk or ride over every fCOt of the route which would be about l60 miles long.
