This year your Gas
Company is spending
many millions of dol-
lars in expansions—
extensions of mains,
new buildings and equip-
ment — a program almost
unparalleled in the history
of any Gas Company.
This is being done that we
may continue to provide
good gas service to our pres-
ent customers and those who
are coming daily to Detroit.
These expansions require
new capital. Your Gas
Company must receive a rate
which enables them to opera
ate and pay a fair return.
Without a fair rate it is im-
possible to carry on these
expansions and extensions.
The people of Detroit enjoy gas
rates "which are lower than
those existing in any other
similar city its America."
