keeping and maintaining its pipe lines,
wells, and other property used in fur
nishing said natural gas to its con-
sumers, have greatly and materially
increased, and that said Company is
now and will continue to be, unable to
furnish and provide natural gas to said
consumers at the present rate and at
the same time provide from it's income

depreciation and a reasonable value
of its assets and property used in fur
nishing natural gas to its consumers.
That the cost of gas purchased for
use in The Permian Oil and Gas Com
pany System, especially that gas pur-
chased from the Texas Eastern Trans
mission Corporation, has greatly in
creased
The aforesaid Application asks said
Commission, as soon as it may after a
final hearing of said application, that
it issue an order approving and putting
into effect said modified and increased
rate. and for all further and proper
orders in the premises.
