Local Situation Now Up to the
Mortgage Holders.
Extensions Will Consume
Profits Till January 1.

Kansas City, Oct 23.-The Kansas
Natural Gas company, which supplies
gas to Kansas City and many OF the
large cities of Kansas, has been
granted the right to spend $275,000 70
extend its lines to the new gas fields
in Oklahoma, by Judge John c. Pol
lock in the federal court, Kansas City,
Kan. The judge made provision,
however that before the company
should make the expenditure the writ
ten consent of holders OF first and sec
ond mortgages of the company should
be filed with the court. The latter or
der was issued as a protection to the
mortgage holders, after the company
had made statement that the cost of
the next extension would consume ali
the profits Of the concern between
now and January 1, 1913.
The order will permit the company
to open new fields in Oklahoma,
which, it is hoped, Will eradicate the
growing fear that the cities supplied
by the company would be without fuel
for the coming winter.
Judge Pollock also ordered the com
pany to prepare at once a statement of
the cost per 1000 cubic feet, of pro-
ductiOn ana transp ortatiOn of all gas
to each CITY supplied by the company.
The Kansas Natural merely produces
and transports the product to the diff
ferent towns. where it is sold to the
companies having the franchises for
supplying each city. The courts de-
sire, it was stated, is to find out the
exact cost IF delivery to each city so
that the rates therein can be adjusted
to suit conditions there. In many
places it was pointed out that the COM
pany was delivering gas at a loss
while in other places paying a higher
rate, consumers were suffering be-
cause of Ia * of the product
It is the courts idea that the so
luton of the Kansas gas question lies
i'll the obtalring by the company of
the same rate from all consumers.
whether they use $4,000 worth of gas
a month or so cents worth. This, it
is believed IS the only solution of con-
serving gas for domestic use through
out Kansas this winter.
