New Gas Line.
After some delay in getting ten inch
pipe for the new gas line from Sitka
in johnson county to the Beaver gas
fields, the Pennagrade Oil & Gas Co.
are now busy building the gas line
that will tap this rich gas field.
At Sitla, in Johnson county, this
new line will connect with the main
line of the Louisville line leading from
Martin county in Kentucky and the
West Virginia fields. For the past
few years this line has not been sup-
plying sufficient gas for the cities
along its line and for Louisville, but
with this new Beaver field enough gas
is assured for all needs.
It is ten inch line. For some time
the work has been held up on account
Of the company being unable to get
pipe but Monday thirty teams were
busy hauling this pipe from the local
depot to points along the line. four
cars having been received.
The construction OF this line will
afford much employment for beth men
and teams. The right OF way has been
secured and It is hoped that the line
will be completed by the first Of De-
cember.
The Pennagrade OIL & Gas Co, owns
fifty thousand acres Of land in Floyd
and Knott counties and for years this
gas has been going to waste.
The compressor and gasoline plant
will be established at Prestonsburg, on
Middle Creek, and the establishment of
these new plants and the building Of
this line means much for the developr
