now is a daily open flow OF natur-
! al gas in Kentucky Of 250,0O0.00C
cubic feet, and that 100000 to
6.0OO.O00 cubic feet is all the quan
I tity used in the manufacture OF
lampblaCk.
Those favoring the bill said
that the making OF carbon black
was the most wasteful process OF
using natural gas.
Those iavoring the bill said
that Kentucky is threatened with
an influx of carbon black com
panics. and that such companies
are being legislated out Of other
states. They said that West Nir-
ginia Is trying to dominate the
natural gas situation and prices.
and that West Virginia natural
legislation by Kentucky which
gas interests are opposing any
would conserve the supply in this
state. the existence and Use of
which act a. bar To an inflated
price Tor the West Virginia pro-
duct.
Opponents of the measure con-
tended that provisions should be
made for the purchase of all ma
tural gas within the lO-mile ra-
ius OF pipe line or community OF
5000 population using natural
gas.
The membership "f the state
highway board. to super>ede the
present commission. suggested by
the democratic senate caucus
would be composed of General W.
/ .Sibcrt. OF Bowling Green; l..
b. Samuel,. OF Bardstown: Mark
J.. Conlcy. Of Camel City. and
Ben Wcille. of Paducah
Whether or not such an amend
mcnt would be acceptable to the
IIouc Is a question. There s ev-
cry reason to believe that the
House bill will be reported out il
the senate early next week and
brought to an issue. Whether
thi, /, done voluntarily by the
rules committee. or whether j.;
will be necessary to invoke thu
rule of 20 senators supcrScdino
power OF that committee. will be
determined by developments.
OF course. the House has the
power To veto amendments offer
cd by the senate. In case tic
House refuses to concur IN sen
ate recommendations. the bill
would go 10 a conference com
mittcc. and il would be question
ui which house welded first. For
this reason. real friends OF the
bonds are hopeful that the whole
matter will be thrcshcd out as
early as possible. and not put off
till the final days OF tile session.
when hasty action would be ne
ccs~ary.
