SEC Ruling

Corporation Counsel William r.
Dowling today hailed a new ruling
Of the Securities and Exchange
Commission rs paving the way
for construction Of a new S70,-
000,000 natural gas pipeline by
the Michigan Consolidated Gas
Co, acting on its own instead Of
through holding company which
Dowling blamed for excessive"
local rates.
Detroit now receives natural
gas from the Panhandle Eastern
Pipeline Co. The proposed new
lpe would tap Texas fields direct.
Bowling characterized the or
iginal proposal that the American
Light and Traction Co, of which
Michigan Consolidated Is SUBJ
sidiary. build the new line as a
dodge "to circumvent dissolution
of the parent firm, which was
ordered by the SEC in l941.
The SECS denial Of the holding
company'S application for permiS-
sion to construct the line is no
bar TO the project however, he
added. The depial order provides
that Michigan Consolidated might
go ahead with the project with
funds received from American
Light and Traction.
'If the local company Is sin
cere In Its purpose II can now
make application to the SEC"
Dowling declared.

"We'd better count this up now and

Ken called on his fortitude and
stood waiting.
