pioring for and drilling, operating and
maintaining natural gas wells, and for
materials and labor therefor, and for
keeping and maintaining it's pipe lines.
wells, and other property used in fur
sumers, have greatly and materially
increased, and that said Company is

furnish and provide natural gas to said
consumers at the present rate and at
the same time provide from its income

depreciation and reasonable value
of its assets and property used in fur

That the cost of gas purchased for
use in The Permian Oil and Gas Com

chased from the Texas Eastern Trans

creased.
The aforesaid Application asks said
Commission, soon as 1t may after a
