Exlra Gas Grant I By Northern May i Cinch Allied Plant Northern Natural Gas Com- j pany Friday released an addi- j tional 40-million cubic feet of : gas per day to its 26 utility cus- ; tomers in Nebraska, Kansas, j Iowa, Minnesota and South Da- ! kota. i The company said the addi- 1 tional gas should be enough lo ' take care of at least 20 thousand i more house heating jobs along its pipeline system this winter. ! John Merrnm, president, said , Northern took the action de- ! spite the delayed Federal Power ' Commission ruling on Northern j expansion plans. Northern did ; it, he said, because of "the great ! need for natural gas for house . heating in this area." The additional gas grant will have some effect here, accord ing to local manager Walter H. Gleason, who said an additional allotment will be given Platts- j mouth. Exact amount is not ' available at this time, as the ; grant allocated to Central Gas . and Electric must be divided up among the many communities , they serve. Northern allocations in this ' area include these additional amounts in cubic feet per day to these communities. Lincoln 1.289,000 Fremont 301.000 i Sioux Citv 1.618 000 Council Bluffs 500.000 j Fairbury 156.000 i Omaha 4.746.000 ! Mr. Merriam said Northern I changed its operating schedules j to make the additional gas I available. Normally the utility i keeps certain compressor units on standby duty to replace those : being overhauled and repaired. These stand-by units, how- ever, now will be used full-time i and the overhaul schedules re- I vised, Mr. Merriam said. ; If the FPC grants the modi- fied expansion certificate fo ; which Northern has been wait- j ing since February. 1951. the pipeline company expects to i have an additional 20 million cubic feet available by the end ; of the year. " j Delivery of the addit ional 20 million depends on the con struction weather between now and January 1, Mr. Merriam 1 said. Northern has to lay 113! miles of pipe. It hs the ma- I terials. ! The rernaining 90 million cu bic feet in the expansion re- quest will have to wait until next summer when more com pressor stations can be con structed. The FPC decision on the ex pansion program is expected Tuesday. It is expected the additional gas grant by Northern will pave the way for a hurrv up decision bv FPC on the Allied Chemical Company's application for gas to serve their new plant north of Plattsmouth.
