Miss Elizabeth McDermott,
Question:
Is Lone Star doing
everything it can
to hold down costs?
We’re operating more e Y
efficiently than ever be-
fore. But our costs are go- =
ing up none the less... just like yours.
For instance, the interest rates on
money we have to borrow for con-
structing new gas supply systems have
increased dramatically. These rates
have recently been at all time highs.
Within the last 18 months, we have
invested nearly $100 million:
□ to- build a large diameter, 400-mile
pipeline from West Texas to the
Dallas-Ft. Worth area,
Fi for other facilities along this pipeline,
• to attach major new reserves and
FJ to pay for well drilling by producers...
all for the purpose of assuring con-
tinuing natural gas supplies to our
customers.
These investments don’t even in-
clude the cost of all the gas we must
buy to fill the line. In 1969, natural gas

*sand cubic feet.
Recently we paid more than 85 cents
for major new supplies. And the price
is still rising.
Costs like these are the price Lone
Star must pay for your continuing nat-
ural gas supplies. It’s important that .
you understand our need for adequate
rates so we can continue to deliver
clean gas energy to your home for
winters to come.
We’re doing everything possible to
hold down controllable-costs. But even
with gradual rate increases, natural /
gas from Lone Star will still be your
most economical and efficient non-
polluting fuel. A
