CHECK GAS
Line HERE
VIII Be Necessary for Chickasha
People to Take $4,000 Worth
Stock In Gorton Natural
Say Officials.

That it rests with the citizens of
Chicka ha whether natural gas is to
be secured for the city this winter,
is the statement Of officers of the
Gorton Natural Gas company here.
The statement is to the effect that
the material can be secured, but that
the financial end must be cared for
by November %, with Chickasha cit.
izens subscribing for $65,000 worth
Of the Gorton Natural stock
DR.. T. H. Williams, a member Of
the Gorton Natural Gas company
said today; THE Gorton Oil and
Refining company has entered into a
contract with the Gorton Natural Gas
company to furnish tie natural gas
needed to supply Chickasha, for a
period Of 25 years, or of course dur.
ing the life of the field
The Gorton Oil and Refining has
also agreed to put up 80 per cent Of
the money required to construct the
line from the field to Chickasha, If
the citizens of Chiekasha would sub
scribe for the remaining so per cent
of the stock 1t is estimated that
about $4,000 will be required. This
means that Chickasha people must
subscribe for $4,000 of this stock if
the gas is to be brought here this
winter.
There will be no commissions paid
for the sale Of stock in this compa-
ny. Every dollar paid for stock will
go to the development of the prop
o7ition. This feature is fixed by the
Capital Issues commission. Some
work toward raising this amount,
that is the required SOS, 900, has been
done, but it will take concerted
effort on the part of everyone to
put it across.
"The successful completion of a
gas pipe line between Chickasha and
the Gorton wells in the Cement field
means this: Decidedly cheaper gas
for Chickasha, all the dividends per
mitted by the government for the
stockholders who invest their money
and saving on the gas bills that
will amount to a big per cent of the
amount invested, in addition to the
dividends. For instance: my fuel
bill is around $175 year With nat
ural gas here, IL would be around
SIS, which represents a saving Of
800 or ten per cent on an invest
ment Of $1,000 Therefore if | take
$1,000 worth of stock, the saving on
fuel viii net me 10 epr cent, in addi-
tion to my dividends
Ten car loads Of pipe were billed
TO the Gorton Natural last week, but
it was necessary to divert it to other
fields. There is no danger Of not
getting the pipe or material. Il
Chickasha people will subscribe for
S65,00O worth of this stock before
November 25, that line can be COM
pleted in 60 days. 1t is really up to
