Happenings of More or Less
Interest Gathered From
Many Sources.
ORDERS A STATE GAS SURVEY
Governor Allen Wants an ihVestiea-
ton to Fix Cost Of Production
and Rates of Pipe Lines.

Governor Allen has ordered an in,
gestigation of the actual and poten-
fial gas production of the Kansas
fields and prices paid by pipeline com
panies to gas producers and the cost
Of production
This action was taken after he OBJ
tanned information that the E.A city
field alone is producing enough y.
supply Kansas City, Wichita, s. 20
seph, Topeka and several smaller
towns.
Governor Allen is in possession OF
information that gas in the Elk City
field is going begging at eight cents
q thousand cubic feet while an at
tempt is being made to raise the rates
at Wichita and other Kansas towns
within fifty to one hundred miles of
the field, to eighty or ninety cents.
Governor Allen cited one well that
was brought in with an initial pro
duction of ninety-two million subic
feet daily.
The Southwestern Gas Company,
which has collecting lines all over the
Elk City field, pays the producer eight
cents. The Kansas Natural Company
pays the Southwestern company fit
teen cents. That same gas brings
eighty cents in Kansas City, Mo. That
is a difference of seventy-two cents
between the producer and the dis
fributing company.
Investigation of the assertion Of oil
and gas producers that there is an IN
limited supply of gas in Kansas will
be made, Governor Allen declared. He
says he has information that produc-
srs are forced to hold millions Of feet
OF gas in the wells every day because
the pipe line companies refuse to lay
lines to their leases. The Doherty
interests are asking an increase in
gas rates on the contention that the
"gas supply is about to play OUT and
that cit should be conserved"
