IMPORTATION
OF GAS ENDS

Withdrawal of the petition for
a permit to import natural gas from
the Rogers-I Imperial we'll in south
ern Alberta was announced this
week by Montana-Dakota Utilities
Co. in a formal petition for dismiss
sal filed with the federal power
commission at Washington, d. c.
The withdrawal followed the fall
ure of the great Rogers-Imperial
we'll which has dropped off in vol
ume and pressure until it no longer
can get gas into the line serving
Great Falls.
A hearing on the petition was
held recently at Helena, Montana
Dakota supporting its contention
that under a valid existing contract
the company was bound to receive
gas so long as Range Oil & Gas
could deliver approximately one
sixth of the pipeline requirement
Experts testified that the well could
not last longer than September of
the present year. They were wrong
by nearly three months. Had the
power commission hearing been
postponed for so days, no hearing
would have been necessary.
The only purpose of taking the
Canadian gas was to get the great
rock pressure of the Rogers-Im-
perial we'll on the end of the line
to serve as a booster" for the
low pressure gas from the Whit
ASH structure. subsequently, high
pressure gas was found in Whit
ASH district, and the line now has

their fight for the right to COM
