Jim Bradley, District Manager for Iowa Southern Utilities, today stated that the Company has received further encourageing news relative to a supply of natural gas for Moravia. The Federal Power Commission, in a decision dated December 29, accepted an agreement whereby Iowa Southern will receive gas for service to Moravia even though the Canadian government refuses to authorize the portation of gas to the United States. On October 31, the Federal Power Commission approved natural gas service for Moravia with the natural gas supply to come from gas imported from Canada. This made the approval contingent on the Canadian government granting permission to export this gas and upon several other conditions. Due to these uncertainties, Iowa Southern presented evidence in another proceeding involving an expansion on American Loulsiana Pipe Line Company, another supplier of Michigan Wisconsin Pipe Line Company.

In this proceeding, an agreement was reached whereby Iowa Southern is assured a gas supply for Moravia from another source in case the Canadian government rejects the move to bring gas from Canada into the United States. In light of this recent decision, Iowa Southern is now proceeding with detailed engineering work on the Moravia gas distribution system and within the next few days will place orders for the necessary pipe. The exact date when gas will be available for Moravia is as yet uncertain due to steel shortages and the necessity for a decision of the Canadian exportation problem, If exportation of the Canadian gas is denied, Iowa Southern will receive its supply from the alternative source but gas from this source will not become available until the Canadian gas question is decided.
