IF YOU DON'T WANT

The gas situation in Ardmore Is likely
10 develop into u serious condition, and
unless unforeseen circumstances arise
to relieve the present situation, II is
more than possible that all manufac.
turing plants will have to be cut off and
the available gas supply retained for
the benefit of domestic purposes only,
according to statements made by the
Ardmorc Gas Company's officials.
Paul Ekern, general manager of the
Consumers Ice, Light n Power Com.
pany, stated Monday that every effort
was going to be made TO secure an ad.
equate supply OF gas, but said that
things did not look very favorable at
present.
The company Is installing a compress
sor i'm the field, i'm section 1888, and
will do it's utmost. the executives say,
TO maintain pressure so that domestic
users may suffer no Inconvenience. or
course, there is Il possibility of the com
pany securing more gas from the field
already tapped. Some new gassers may
he drilled in and in that event the com
pany will make an effort to secure the
output.
II Is the CONSENSUS ul uplHIpll' HpN
ever, that consumers who are depend
ing upon present gas supply for other
than domestic purposes, had better
make arrangements TO burn coal, and
there are many domestic users who
have coal and wood burners that are
laying in n supply of both fuels in an
ticipaton of frosty morning without gas
pressure sufficient TO fry the bacon and
warm the atmosphere.

OKL LAHOMA Ma TURAL GAS
PERMITTED To INCREASE
RATES TO 40C MAXIMUM

Oklahoma City, Aug. 26.-The state
corporation commission. in an order is.
sued yesterday afternoon, grants per.
mission to the oklahoma Natural Gas
Company to increase its rates for gas to
a maximum of 40 cents net per thousand
for the first 100000 cubic feet. 81 cents
per thousand for the next 400 900 cubic
feet and % cents per thousand for all
in excess of 500 600 cubic feet.
The commissions order recites that
the original cause was Instituted ON
April Is of last year, involving gas
rates for gas furnished to and distrib
uted by various gas plants from the
pipe line of the oklahoma Natural Gas
Company. On September 12. 1918. the
commission issued its order and on
April II, 1919, the Oklahoma Natural
filed a motion requesting the maximum
schedule provided for in that order be
made effective, quoting from this order
as follows:
at is further ordered that when the
Oklahoma Natural Gas Company shall
have built a main line into a southern
field and shall have secured a supply of
natural gas adequate for its patrons,
that upon the completion of this line
and connections thereof with its pres
ent system rates shall be automatically
increased to a maximum of 40 cents net
per thousand cubic feet and a minimum
of 20 cents net per thousand cubic feet
This motion was denied by the com
mission on April IS. 1919. AT the time
the motion was filed the company had
extended its line to what is known as
have made an extension to what is
known as the Walters field and this eX-
tension is about completed.
I'm view of the increased investment
and the fact that the Oklahoma Natu-
raj Gas Company will be able TO fur
nish an adequate supply of gas for do
mestic consumption during the winter
months, this commission has this day or
dered that the rates for gas be auto
matically increased to 40 cents per thou
sand cubic feet with a minimum of %
cents net per 1000 cubic feet. Here
the schedule of 49, 80 and 25 cents is
set out and it is ordered that they be
come effective September l."
The order further provides that the
be allowed 10 per cent return
on the investment and be permitted to
set aside a depre citation and amortiza
ton of 10 per cent and should there
be an excess this excess must set up as
a surplus to take care of necessary eX
and lean periods. When nee
essary to use this fund for other pur
poses than specified, an interest of 10
per cent must be credited to this fund.

CARTER AND OTHER

FROM VALUE hikes

Oklahoma City, Aug. 2G.-When
county commissioners, assessors and
other professors appeared before the
state board OF equalization yesterday
the session had all the appearance of
re-convening of the house of repre-.
sentatives, Acting Governor Trapp
presided and the members of the state
board We're ranged at a long table In
'front.' OF the speakers desk and as each
county was called a delegation of citl.
zens appeared 10 ask changes In the
tentative assessments. When adjourn
ment was taken ut o'clock in the
afternoon about onc.half OF the coun,
ties of the state had been heard
Each delegation seemed to accept
the necessity for an increased valuation
but nearly all objected to specific
cassfications being raised. Hearings
We're granted In alphabetical order and
formal motion was made and put for
each ruling.
Atoka county asked for n rechecking
upon merchandise and cattle and also
upon land improvements and the sched.
ule was returned to the county board
for that purpose.
Beaver county was one of the few
given or failed to have a protesting
representation and the tentative as.
sesSment was made permanent.
Beckham county which had assessed
its cattle at $3.50 a head and was
raised twenty-five per cent, accepted
Il ten per cent compromise.

ed by the assessor. When cattle was
taken up the fact that there is con
siderable stock in the county made 1t
appear to the board that an increase
was essential and it was finally agreed
that the return should be withdrawn
and readjusted to bring cattle valu-
alton to 40 per cent above the return
aS made.
Bryan and Caddo county offered no
protests and their assessments We're
made permanent.
Sheep and Hogs
Canadian county's assessor, after
long debate and a hard fight, secured
several concessions. Sheep had been
increased 100 per cent and he declared
they had been turned in at their full
cash value and averaged at $5.03 a
head. He said that there We're over
1000 sheep in Canadian county, but
only 34S We're shown on the return
The board finally decided to make the
increase on sheep in Canadian 80 per
cent. The assessor had turned in
hogs at IL cents a pound and there
was considerable difficulty experienced
in determining whether he had found
n total of 1852 hogs or 1852
pounds of hogs in the county;
as the money total on this
classification was in excess Of 100000
it was decided to accept his return.
Canadian also objected to a 80 per
cent increase on land and improve
ments and this was cut to 20 per cent.
Town lots were accepted as returned
and the Canadian assessor won his
longest point in threshers, which had
been increased all over the state. He
declared he had assessed them at their
full cash value and his return was
accepted.
