In this connection your attention is called to the following pertinent facts: "(1) Approximately four blocks of Harris Park Avenue which borders Eastwood Park are now unlighted and this not only creates a dangerous situation for children who are walking home after twilight but makes it difficult for those using the park to pick their way through it's thickly wooded sections. "(2) Residents adjacent to the park feel that they are entitled to more light on Harris Park Avenue since the absence of houses and a thickly wooded area on one side of the street make this street very dark at night and some of the female residents hesitate to traverse it on foot. CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS 518 518 "(3) The hazards mentioned above are emphasized by the fact that numerous cars park on Harris Park Avenue in connection with the use of the park which would otherwise not be there if residences lined the street, and in addition there is a heavy bicycle traffic most of the time.

WILLIAM LAWLOR, JR., Vice President of the Southern Union Gas Company, filed the following application for an increase in the gas rates: "The Honorable City Council City of Austin Austin, Texas "Gentlemen: "July 12, 1951 "Southern Union Gas Company is the natural gas distributor in Austin rendering service to the homes and businesses of the City, having succeeded through merger to the property formerly owned by Texas Public Service Company and to the related natural gas franchise adopted by the City in 1948. The applicable rates for residential and commercial service are as provided in an ordinance made effective April 22, 1943. "Substantially increased costs, to the Company, of labor, materials, taxes and practically all other items now make necessary a modest increase in gas rates, in order for the Company to continue to render adequate service to present and prospective consumers. "The present level of earnings, in relation to the Company's necessary investment in facilities required to furnish gas service to the public in Austin, is inadequate and, unless promptly corrected, will result in impairment of the Company's ability to render such service. "The most important single factor in the diminished and diminishing earnings of the Company is the sharp increase in the cost of those things which the Company must buy and provide in performing its service, such as steel pipe, meters, other materials and supplies, and labor. Indicative of the higher cost levels experienced by the Company are the U. S. Government reports showing that by December 31, 1950 the hourly wages for common labor had risen 130% over the 1940 average; that wholesale commodity prices increased 118% during the same 10-year period; and that the Consumer Price Index for the City of Houston (the nearest city for which data are available) was up 78%. According to the same government reports these cost levels have continued to advance since December 31, 1950. The impact of increased costs on the Company's net earnings has not been offset by the added revenue derived from the growth of its business in Austin. Chart No. 3 attached shows the inescapable downward trend in the earnings of the Company in Austin. "One necessary result of the rising price levels is the increasing cost to the Company of serving new homes and businesses in the growing City. The Company estimates that this cost has risen more than 50% since 1944; while during the same period its average revenue per customer has remained constant. "The average consumption of gas in Austin is 6,000 cubic feet per month and under the existing rates the present monthly bill for this typical consumer is 15.8% less than his 1940 bill for the same volume of gas. This condition CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS 521 521 prevails notwithstanding the very substantial increases in the cost of rendering service which the Company is now paying. After the proposed rate adjustment the monthly gas bill for this typical consumer will still actually be 4f less than on the 1940 gas rates. #The total additional annual revenue, computed on the basis of the Company's 1950 business, to be provided by the new rates will be $216,848. This increase to present domestic and commercial customers will amount to an average of less than 1-7/84 per customer per day. It will be observed from Table No. 1 that the increase to the small customer is quite nominal. The table also shows that the maximum increase in any bill under the proposed Genèral. Service Rate will not exceed $4.27 in any month, and this maximum is applicable only in the case of large consumers whose monthly usage is 50,000 cubic feet or more. The adjustment proposed, therefore, has a broad, reasonable base. It represents the minimum amount of additional revenue under present conditions, necessary for the Company to continue to furnish Austin with satisfactory and adequate x natural gas service. "In view of the foregoing, the Company respectfully requests that an ordinance fixing the following net natural gas rates be adopted and put into effect: GENERAL SERVICE RATE (replacing the present General Service Rate) First 1,000 cubic feet or less per month Next 4,000 cubic feet per month @ Next 45,000 cubic feet per month Next 250,000 cubic feet per month Over 300,000 cubic feet per month @ @ $1.25 .60 per MCF .55 per MCF .40 per MCF .25 per MCF "It is believed that the information now submitted demonstrates that the proposed adjustment is both necessary and proper. The Council's consideration is requested and should any additional information be desired, we will be glad to furnish it promptly. "Respectfully submitted, SOUTHERN UNION GAS COMPANY (Sgd) Wm. Lawlor, Jr., Vice President MR. SCOTT HUGHES stated the needs for an increase in the gas rates. He introduced MR. MCILEFRISCH and MR. BRANDT, rate experts and offered their services to the City. After discussion, COUNCILMAN LONG moved that the City Manager be instructed to examine the records of the Southern Union Gas Company, along with the information furnished the Council, and report back to the Council.

Councilman Long suggested a grievance committee be set up, to be elected by the employees. MR. NOLVIN WARD was asked to make a study of this and report to the Council.
