WE DON'T

WANT PLANS

...WE WANT

GAS!

AGREED, MR. DETROIT . . .

and there are quite a few thousand other Detroiters
who echo your sentiments.

But, as you know, your city faces the prospect of a long, long

gas shortage. The reason? Well, in the words of James H. Lee,
Assistant Corporation Counsel of Detroit: "Michigan Consoli-
dated (your local gas distributor) wants a pipe line and wants

to create a shortage so the Federal Power Commission will
give it permission to go ahead and build it."

Mr. Lee refers to the plans of the interests controlling Michigan

Consolidated to spend over 584,000,000 (mostly your money) on
a line from Texas that would duplicate the service Panhandle
Eastern has given Detroit for the past ten years.

In Order to iustify this expensive promotion, Michigan Consoli-
dated interests must demonstrate, one way or another, that the
Panhandle Eastern system . . . (two giant pipe lines with a total
capacity of approximately 400 million cubic feet a day!) cannot
bring sufficient gas to Detroit.

And so, by stubbornly refusing to e.cgotiate with Panhandle

Eastern for an additional supply and by attempting to block
Panhandle Eastern's expansion program, these interests are respon-
sible for a gas shortage ... one that may last for several years at least.

Is this in the public interest ... in your interest? Hardly, but
consider what Michigan Consolidated is gambling for . . . a com-
plete monopoly upon the gas supply of your city, in addition to the
monopoly it already has on gas distribution.

Of coursa, plans like those of Michigan Consolidated take time ...
months and months of hearings before public authorities ... then,
if approved, more months and even years before materials can be
delivered and construction begun.

Panhandle Eastern is past the planning stage. Already con-
struction crews are hard at work up and down our huge system,
carrying out the first part of a big post-war expansion program
that proposes to add a third giant pipe line to the two now
serving Detroit.

The question of whether or not your gas-hungry city will

benefit from Panhandle Eastern's new construction ... gain relief
from the present shortage ... rests largely in the hands of Detroit's
citizens. Unless the pressure of public opinion forces Michigan
Consolidated interests to abandon their ambitious plans for a
duplicate pipe line—costly and unnecessary—your gas shortage will
continue for years.

How do you feel about it?
