TESTED AND PROVEN
Storage Of gas in suitable underground formations has
already proven successful in such cities as ST. Louis and
Chicago Now Washington Gas Light Company has found
suitable location in the Brandywne of Prince Georges
County, to bring the benefits of this remarkable advance in
gas service to the area.
Five years research exploration and testing have gone
into selecting this location Many wells drilled

exhaustive studies made of hundreds Of earth samples
Actual test runs conducted, in which 100 million

is perfectly adapted to underground gas storage.
BENEFITS TO BE GAINED
The underground gas storage project will the
people Of Prince Georges County in two important ways
First it will produce substantial amounts of additional
the County-but will demand in return prac
ticay nothing in the way of enlarged services from the
County, Washington Gas Light Company'S investment of
millions in taxable property will make it of the largest
taxpayers the County, and its tax payments will largely
represent net gains to the County treasury
Second, the project will make natural gas available at
the lowest possible cost people in the County The
availability of this modern utility service will increase prop
ery values and encourage desirable housing Developments
Passage of the eminent domain legislation by the Mary
land Legislature will insure making the storage project

actual fuent subject only to the approval OF regulatory
authorities and the acquisition of additional underground

MOST OPTIONS OBTAINED
The area under which the storage reservoir located
comprises 402 properties Of this number 327 80 per
cent have granted the Company options to purchase under
ground storage rights Ofhe remaining IS owners some have
stated they will grant the storage rights when the Company
is ready to make full and final payment.
Unfortunately, the of approximately 40 proper
ties unable because Of legal barrerS unwilling or
their own reasons to grant the Company the underground
storage rights which it has been endeavong to purchase for
several years. The unwngness of these few in effect blocks
the Company from further progress this most important
project and denies the benefits thousands of gas and
all taxpayers IN the County.
LIMITED AUTHORITY ASKED
To enable the Company to go forward we have asked
the Prince Georges Delegation to the General Assembly of
Maryland to introduce bill granting limited eminent domain
authority acquire storage rights under proper pro-
cedureS Landowners of course under court direction would
be compensated fairly, and all interests protected fully
The bill would permit the storage of gas underground
