PLAN LATERAL LINES

When the main line is completed,
Mr.. Harper said, lateral lines will be
run to the fields in Nueces, San Pa
'tricio, Refugio, Jackson and Mata-
gorda counties.
With the line passing within 100
miles of San Antonio, engineers were
sent here to make a survey with a
view to ascertaining the feasibility OF
bringing gas to San Antonio. This
survey has been satisfactory, he said,
and the company has decided to build
the San Antonio line at cost of
million and a half dollars.
Because the Houston project Is
bearing the major portion Of the in
vestment," Mr.. Harper said, Eve will
be able to give San Antonio the bene-
fit of cheap gas. The line here would
have a capacity of 30,OOO,0O0 cubic
feet daily, thus assuring an ample
supply for both commercial and indus
trial use,
