Line to Walters

II was pointed out in MIR, Bingham r
letter that the Oklahoma Natural Gas
company is at this time about to
complete a twelve inch line to the
Walters field and that that line
passes within few miles of the
city of Chickasha. Nj Bingham
pointed out that the local gas com
pany is not in position to tap the
source OF natural gas supply with a
pipe line and can only use the dis
tributing lines in the city for natural
gas when secured from the Oklahoma
Natural lines
Mr.. Bingham's letter outlined the
work of the members of the public
utilities committee Of the Chickasha
Chamber of Commerce in investigat-
ing the natural gas situation and
stated that this committee is advised
that when the lines of the Oklahoma
Natural Gas company reach the Wal
ters field, there will be sufficient gas
turned into the lines to not on'y sup
ply Oklahoma City, but to give Chick
asha plenty of natural gas
This committee, which was appoint
ed some months ago by the presi-
dent of the Chamber Of Commerce,
has been on the JOB and has carried
on series of correspondence with
the Oklahoma Natural people in an
effort to secure a supply of natural
gas for this city The committee is
composed of o. L. Bingham, Orin
Ashton, ]. w. Kayser and F, d. Shat
fer.
Reply Virtual Refusal
The reply of Mr.. Sharpe to Mr..
Bingham's latest letter is a virtual
refusal, the reason given being that
the supply will not he sufficient to
Justify the taking on Of other obli-
cations. Mr.. Sharpe's letter follows
in part:
I'VE are constructing a line into
the Walters field, but as yet do not
know what amount of gas we will be
able to put through this line. We
appreciate your position and more
fully appreciate our own.
During the winter months the
towns we have already connected to
our system will use as much or
more gas than we have available at
the present time. We are indeed sor-
ry that we cannot say to you whether
we will be in shape sometime later
on to furnish gas to you or not, but
if surely would be very unbusiness-
like for us to take on any new obi
cations until we absolutely know
whether we have the gas to take care
of them.
1--WE have at the present time some
fourteen cities and towns asking us
to take care of them on our system
but have had TO refuse them all.
"If you people can make arrange
ments for gas, it will be the proper
thing for you to do So Also, in case
at any later date we see that we will
have gas to furnish you, we will be
only too glad to take up the matter
again. as we are in the gas business

we have to draw limit on the
