1931,- in which to begin work on their distributing system. He stated that while they
had suff is ie nt gas vailable to supply Pasco and Kennewick and that if compelled to, they
could pipe gas into those cities, still they did not want to place a six inch pipe to
serve these two cities and later have to replace it iTi th a 12 inch main,, in order to extend
their service to `,Valla Walla. If granted the extension, they would start next year in time tc
have the city piped by September or October, so that citizens. could figure. on installing gas
for heating purposes. The well they were now drilling, would give them the information
they sought, as to whether they would have enough gas available to extend their System to
Walla Walla, or not, at this time. MotioZi made by Wirth.,. seconded by Meyer, that the
