DESCRIPTION OF PRODUCTION
AND
DISTRIBUTION FACILITIES
OF
NEES SYSTEM GAS COMPANIES

CENTRAL Massacuusetrs Gas Company

The Central Massachusetts Gas Company franchise area
and gas properties are divided into two operating districts,
each supplied separately from the Tennessee Gas Trans-
mission Company’s system and otherwise isolated from
each other.

The main system, the Southbridge-Webster division, re-
ceives natural gas in Southbridge at Sandersdale at a point
on the high pressure line connecting Southbridge with
Webster. At this point, in addition to the take station,
there is located a high pressure L.P. Air gas plant with a
capacity of 100 MCF per hour or 2400 MCF per day of
1000 Btu equivalent gas at 75 psig, and 50,000 gallons of
propane storage. During peak-shaving periods this plant
normally produces L.P. Air gas which is mixed with the
incoming natural gas and distributed directly through a
high pressure line west to Southbridge and east to Webster
for local distribution from those centers. Normal peak-
shaving operation is limited to a 50% mixture of L.P. Air
gas with natural gas by the interchangeability characteric-
tics of the two gases. Full propane storage is equivalent to
4600 MCF of 1000 Btu equivalent gas. Under emergency
conditions or complete failure of the natural gas supply,
the L.P. Air gas plant plus the holders at Southbridge
and Webster, could carry the entire load on all but four
days of the winter of 1959-1960, and on those days, inter-
ruption of industrial customers and reducing temperature

1320

settings of heating customers’ thermostats would make it
possible to carry the entire remaining load on all days.

There are no production facilities in Spencer and no
connections between the two divisions. Accordingly, the
Spencer Division area is entirely dependent on pipeline gas.

In the Webster-Southbridge division, the incoming natural
gas flows in two directions to the holder station at Union
Street, Webster, and the holder station at Wardwell Court,
Southbridge. The high pressure feeder main connecting
the two holder stations is composed of 4-inch, 6-inch and
8-inch diameter pipe. The gas which flows into Southbridge
is reduced in pressure at the holder station and routed to
the low pressure syste. There is one high pressure feeder
main. The gas which flows toward Webster supplies a high
pressure distribution area in Dudley and the holder station
in Webster. At the Webster holder station, the gas is
reduced in pressure and routed into the holder from which
it flows through a station governor into the low pressure
network in Webster and part of Dudley. The low pressure
systems of the Webster-Southbridge division operate at
6.0 inches water column.

In the Spencer division, the incoming natural gas flows
from the receiving station through an 8 inch diameter high
pressure feeder main which connects to the high pressure
feeder mains supplying the holder station at Spencer and
the high pressure distribution systems in the communities
of Brookfield, East Brookfield, North Brookfield, West
Brookfield, Leicester, Spencer and Warren. At the holder
station in Spencer, the gas is reduced in pressure and
routed to the intermediate pressure distribution network in
Spencer. All of the customers in the Spencer division are
served through house service pressure regulators from
high or intermediate pressure mains.

The Central Massachusetts Gas Company has 13.6 miles
of cast iron mains, 34.0 miles of welded steel mains and

b-

93.7 miles of wrought iron or steel mains with screwed or
mechanical joint connections. The total of 141.3 miles of
mains include 70.6 miles of principal high pressure feeder
mains which range in diameter from 34 to 8 inches. 46 per
cent of the mains are 4 inch or larger in diameter.

Lawrence Gas Company

The production facilities of the Lawrence Gas Company
are located off Marston Street, Lawrence, consisting of a
high Btu oil gas plant, and a low pressure L.P. Air gas
plant. The oil gas plant contains one production unit, two
light oil generators, one 9 feet in diameter, one 8 feet in
diameter with an 8 foot diameter superheater. This ma-
chine is capable of producing 110 MCFH of 1000 Btu
equivalent gas or 2200 MCF per day. Fuel storage for
oil gas production consists of 180,000 gallons, equivalent
to about 12,000 MCF of 1000 Btu equivalent gas. The low
pressure L.P. Air gas plant is a jet plant with a maximum
production capacity of 200 MCFH of equivalent 1000 Btu
gas or 4800 MCF per day. Fuel storage for L.P. Air gas
production consists of 75,000 gallons of propane equivalent
to 6900 MCF of 1000 Btu equivalent gas.

Oil gas and L.P. Air gas, as required, are produced and
stored in a low pressure storage holder. From there they
are pumped to higher pressures for mixing with natural
gas for sendout to the medium pressure distribution system.
Mixed gas also flows into the low pressure holders through
a pressure regulator for plant distribution to the local area
of Lawrence. The production plants are used primarily for
peak-shaving and also they provide backup for the natural
gas supply. When used for peak-shaving, oil gas cannot
be used for more than 40% of the sendout, and L.P. Air
gas is not used for more than 50%. When both oil gas and
L.P. Air gas are used, the mixture is limited to 60% of the
sendout.

1322

Tennessee Gas Transmission Company delivers gas to
the Lawrence Gas Company at a take point in Methuen,
Massachusetts. From this point, part of the gas is delivered
westerly to a pressure regulator station at Jackson and
East Streets, Methuen, supplying the low pressure dis-
tribution system. The bulk of the gas purchased flows from
Oak Street to the Marston Street plant in Lawrence, the
main distribution center of the Company. From the main
distribution center, low pressure and feeder mains extend
into Lawrence, Methuen, Andover and North Andover.

Customers are served from low pressure mails operating
at 6-inch water pressure and intermediate pressure mains
operating at from 20-inch water pressure to 2 psig. About
2.5% of the customers are served through individual house
pressure regulators. The Lawrence distribution system con-
sists of approximately 253.5 miles of cast iron mains, 22.5
miles of welded steel mains, and 25.7 miles of wrought iron
and steel mains with threaded or mechanical joints. In-
cluded in this mileage are the principal high pressure
feeder mains which total about 14.5 miles ranging from
6 inches to 12 inches in diameter. Approximately 86% of
the mains in the Lawrence distribution system are 4 inches
or larger in diameter.

Lynn Gas CoMPany

The production plant of the Lynn Gas Company is located
on the Lynnway in Lynn, and consists of three production
units; one 12’6” and two 10’6” inverted **U”’ type high Btu
oil gas sets. Only two of these sets can be operated simul-
taneously, the larger set with one of the smaller sets, due
to the fact that the two smaller sets have a common air
blower. This plant can produce a maximum of 390 MCFH
of 1000 Btu equivalent gas or 7800 MCF per day. Fuel
storage for oil gas production consists of 4,555,000 gallons
of oil storage, which is equivalent to 304,000 MCF of 1000

1323

Btu equivalent gas. This is adequate for about 39 days of
capacity production. Lynn has excess oil storage capacity
which could be beneficially used by the North Shore Gas
Company and/or Mystic Valley Gas Company.

High Btu oil gas as produced is put into the 2000 MCF
and 5000 MCF storage holders where it is mixed with
natural gas in the holders. Peak-shaving is accomplished
by delivery of this mixed gas directly to the local low pres-
sure system or by supplying this mixed gas from these
storage holders through gas compressors to the high pres-
sure feeder main system.

Lynn Gas Company has no boiler plant of its own and
purchases all of its steam requirements from the adjacent
plant of the Lynn Electric Company.

Lynn purchases all of its natural gas requirements from
the Tennessee Gas Transmission Company through the re-
ceiving station at Homesite Street, Lynn, Massachusetts.
From this station the natural gas purchased is delivered to
the distribution and control center located at the gas plant
on the Lynnway through a primary 12 inch high pressure
feeder main. At the Lynnway distribution center the incom-
ing natural gas is delivered through a pressure regulator to
the storage holders and thence through another pressure
regulator to the local low pressure distribution center. Also
at this distribution center, the incoming natural gas is
routed to high pressure feeder mains which extend into
Lynn, Swampscott, Marblehead, Saugus, Lynnfield and
Nahant.

Customers are served generally from a low pressure
distribution system in which the operating pressure is 6.0
inches water. The high pressure feeder main system oper-
ating at pressures of 20 to 45 psig supplies and reinforces
the pressure in the low pressure system through pressure
regulators connecting the two systems at necessary loca-
tions. About 7% of the customers are supplied directly

1324

from the high pressure feeder system through house service
pressure regulators.

The Lynn distribution system consists of 245 miles of cast
iron main, 81 miles of welded steel main, and 42 miles of
wrought iron or steel main with threaded or mechanical
joints all ranging in diameter from 1 inch to 24 inches.
Included in this mileage are the principal high pressure
feeder mains which total about 31%4 miles and which range
in diameter from 4 inches to 12 inches. Approximately
82% of the mains in Lynn’s distribution system are 4 inch
or larger in diameter.

Mystic VaLLey Gas Company

The Mystic Valley Gas Company has three gas plants:
a high Btu oil gas plant and a low pressure L.P. Air gas
plant at Charles Street, Malden, and a high pressure L.P.
Air gas plant at John Street, Reading. The Malden oil gas
plant contains three production units, two 111% foot sets
and one 11 foot set. These are all twin generator light gas
oil sets. This plant can produce a maximum of 590 MCFH
of 1000 Btu equivalent gas or 11,800 MCF per day. Fael
storage for oil gas production consists of 900,000 gallons
of oil storage, which is equivalent to 60,000 MCF of 1000
Btu equivalent gas. The low pressure L.P. Air gas plant
at Malden is a jet plant with a maximum production
capacity of 420 MCFH of 1000 Btu equivalent gas or a
daily capacity of 10,080 MCF. Fuel storage for L.P. Air
production consists of 225,000 gallons of propane which is
equivalent to 20,700 MCF of 1000 Btu equivalent gas.

Gas produced by both the oil gas plant and the L.P. Air
gas plant at Malden is put into a 1000 MCF storage holder
at the plant. From there it is compressed and delivered to
the plant control center where it is mixed for peak-shaving
purposes with high pressure natural gas from the Arling-
ton receiving station before routing into the high pressure

1325

distribution feeder main system and through a pressure
regulator into the low pressure distribution network.

The high pressure L.P. Air gas plant at John Street,
Reading, can produce a maximum of 420 MCFH of 1000
Btu equivalent gas at 50 psig or 10,080 MCF per day. Fuel
storage for L.P. Air production consists of 150,000 gallons
of propane which is equivalent to 13,800 MCF of 1000 Btu
equivalent gas. This gas, as produced, can be mixed for
peak-shaving purposes with high pressure natural gas from
the Reading receiving station. The mixed gas is then de-
liv ved to the high pressure feeder main system; north to
Reading and south to the main distribution system of the
Mystie Valley Gas Company.

Under normal operating conditions, mixed produced gas
and natural gas cannot be delivered to the Arlington area
and can only be delivered té a very small part of the
Revere area. Because of this situation, peak-shaving in the
Mystic Valley Gas Company is limited to about 53% of
its distribution area and load.

Mystie Valley purchases gas from Tennessee Gas Trans-
mission Company at four receiving stations. These stations
are located on the periphery of the distribution system at
Washington Street, Arlington, at Wood Street, Lexington,
at Lowell Street, Reading, and at Broadway, Malden. There
are three major distribution centers or stations and two
minor stations in the Mystie Valley Gas Company. The
major centers are at Grove Street, Arlington, Railroad
Avenue, Revere, and Charles Street, Malden. The two minor
stations are at John Street, Reading, and Wood Street

’

Lexington. Normally gas flows from the Arlington station
through a 16 inch high pressure primary feeder to a regu-
lating and holder station at Arlington, at which point part
of the gas is routed through secondary high pressure feeder
mains to the communities of Arlington, Belmont, Burling-
ton, Lexington, Winchester and Woburn. The remainder

1326

of the gas from the Arlington station continues to flow
through the 16 inch high pressure primary feeder until it
reaches the Malden gas plant at which point the gas is
routed through secondary high pressure feeder mains
toward the communities of Medford, Malden, Everett,
Revere, Melrose, Stoneham, Wakefield and Reading. At
the Malden gas plant, peak-shaving is performed by adding
propane-air and/or oil gas to the natural gas. During the
summer months, gas flows from the Lexington station into
the distribution system owned by the Air Force at Hanscorn
Air Base in Bedford. During the winter months the gas
consumption at the air base is substantially reduced and,
in order to maintain a favorable purchased gas load factor
at each take point, the Mystic Valley Gas Company routes
through an 8 inch high pressure primary feeder and several
secondary high pressure feeders, a quantity of gas into
the area normally supplied from the Arlington receiving
station. The control of volume flow during the winter
months from the Lexington station is accomplished by
means of a remote control device which is monitored by
personnel at the Malden control center.

Gas which is received at the Reading station travels
through a 10 inch high pressure primary feeder to the
L.P. Air gas plant and regulating station at Reading. From
this point the gas is routed, through secondary high pres-
sure feeder mains, toward the communities of Reading,
Stoneham, Melrose, ¥gakefield, Malden and Revere. When
required for peak-shaving, propane air gas is added to the
natural gas at the Reading plant.

The receiving station located in Malden adjacent to the
Revere boundary, delivers gas through a 12-inch primary
high pressure feeder main and several secondary high pres-
sure feeder mains. The gas flows into the communities of
Revere and Winthrop partly by way of regulators con-

1327

nected to the 12-inch primary feeder and partly by way of
regulators located at the holder station at Revere.

Monitoring of gas pressure and flow conditions is per-
formed by the telemetering of various information from
selected locations. For example, the height of outlying
holders in Arlington, Revere and Winchester can be deter-
mined by observation of telemetered information in the
contro] center. The flow into the holders ean be regulated
by personne] at the Malden contro] center via remote con-
trol facilities.

The Mystic Valley Gas Company has approximately
79,300 customer services, some of which supply more than
one customer through separate meters. There are approxi-
mately 5100 house service regulators in use to contro] the
pressure delivered to appliances wherever the distribution
main pressure is greater than normal low pressure. The
pressure in the high pressure mains ranges from about
2 psig to about 90 psig depending on the time of year,
the particular main considered and customer requirements.
The high pressure mains range in diameter from %4 inch
to 20 inches. The low pressure system is supplied from
holders and/or regulator stations which receive their sup-
ply from high pressure feeder mains. The low pressure
system operates at an average pressure of approximately
6 inches water column. Low pressure mains range in
diameter from 1 inch te 30 inches. In the Mystie Valley
area there are approximately 710 miles of cast iron mains, .
106 miles of welded steel mains and 100 miles of wrought
iron or steel mains with the latter having other than welded
joint construction.

NortH Snore Gas Company

The production facilities of the North Shore Gas Com-
pany are a high Btu oil gas and a low pressure L.P. Air
gas plant on Pierce Avenue, Salem, a high pressure L.P.

1328

Air gas plant in Danvers and an L.P. Air gas plant on
Emerson Avenue, Gloucester.

The Pierce Avenue plant in Salem contains two high Btu
oil gas machines, 11 feet and 9 feet in diameter and can
produce a maximum of 283 MCFH or 5650 MCF per day
of 1000 Btu equivalent gas. Oil storage for high Btu oil
gas production amounts to 230,000 gallons equivalent to
15,320 MCF of 1000 Btu equivalent gas or 2.71 days at the
maximum production rate. Also located at the Pierce
Avenue plant in Salem is a low pressure jet mixing type
L.P. Air gas plant with 50,000 gallons of propane storage.
This plant can produce a maximum of 216 MCF per hour
of 1000 Btu equivalent gas and on the same basis can
produce 5185 MCF of 1000 Btu equivalent gas per day. The
propane storage is equivalent to 4600 MCF of 1000 Btu
equivalent gas.

At the Pierce Avenue plant high Btu oil gas and/or L.P.
Air gas is produced and delivered directly into the 500 MCF
storage holder. Compressors take the gas from this storage
holder and deliver it to a high pressure mixing house where
it is mixed with natural gas for high pressure distribution.
The mixed gas then goes out to the high pressure system
or through a pressure regulator to the 2000 MCF holder
for low pressure distribution. Mixed gas from the 2000
MCF holder is also delivered to the River Street holder
station, Beverly, for low pressure distribution in the
Beverly area.

The high pressure L.P. Air gas plant at Danvers can
produce a maximum volume of 360 MCF per hour of 1000
Btu equivalent gas at 75 psig, and on the same basis can
produce 8640 MCF of gas per day. The propane storage
is equivalent to 6900 MCF of 1000 Btu equivalent gas.
Under normal peak-shaving operation, L.P. Air gas is
produced at this plant and mixed directly with natural gas
being delivered by the Tennessee Gas Transmission Com-

1329

pany, and sent out at high pressure on the main take lines
delivering gas to the Beverly side of the distribution system
and directly south to Peabody and the Salem distribution
center at the Salem plant at Pierce Avenue.

Under emergency operation or the failure of gas supply
from the pipeline, the Pierce Avenue plant would produce
L.P. Air gas and oil gas and the Danvers L.P. Air gas
plant would produce L.P. Air gas at high pressure. In this
way, the entire load of this Division of the North Shore
Gas Company could be produced, Under normal peak-
shaving operations, the high Btu oil gas plant at Pier
Avenue is used. While 40% is considered to be a critics!
limit of produced gas in the sendout gas in this territory,
there are five industrial plants manufacturing lamp bulbs
or other similar products which have a very critica] toler-
ance to mixed gas. Since high Btu oil gas has the least
effect on industrial] applications, it is given preference in
peak-shaving.

In the Gloucester division of the North Shore Gas Com-
pany, Tennessee Gas Transmission Company delivers gas
at a receiving station at Essex Avenue. From there it is
delivered by a high pressure line to the main part of
Hloucester across the Annisquam River. On the west side
of the River there are only a few domestic and commercial
customers and one large industrial. At the Emerson Avenue
distribution center is a Hortonsphere high pressure gas
holder with an effective capacity of 199 MCF. Also located
here is a high pressure L.P. Air gas plant with a maximum
capacity of 137 MCF per hour of 1000 Btu equivalent gas,
or 3288 MCF of 1000 Btu equivalent gas per day. The L.P.
storage at this plant consists of 90,000 gallons of propane
equivalent to 4600 MCF of 1000 Btu equivalent gas.

Under emergency operation such as complete failure of
pipeline gas the Emerson Avenue L.P. Air gas plant and
the Hortonsphere could supply the entire requirements of

1330

the Gloucester division. Under normal peak-shaving oper-
ation, the loads west of the Annisquam River cannot be
supplied with manufactured gas. Natural gas from the
pipeline and L.P. Air gas are mixed and distributed to the
low pressure system through pressure regulators and to
the intermediate pressure system for local distribution in
Gloucester east of the River.

The North Shore Gas Company purchases all of its
natural gas requirements from the Tennessee Gas Trans-
mission Company through two receiving stations; one in
the Gloucester division at Essex Avenue, Gloucester, and
one in the Salem-Beverly division at Broad Street, Dan-
vers. These two divisions of the North Shore Gas Company
have completely separate distribution systems, with no
interconnecting mains between divisions.

In the Gloucester division, the incoming natural gas is
transported from the receiving station to the L.P. Air gas
plant at Emerson Avenue, through an 8 inch diameter
primary high pressure feeder main. The incoming gas
pressure is reduced at this point and routed through high
pressure feeder mains which extend into the communities
of Gloucester and Rockport.

Most of the customers are served from a low pressure
distribution system in which the operating pressure is 6.0
inches water column. The high and intermediate pressure
feeder main system operating at pressures of from 1 psig
to 50 psig reinforces the pressure in the low pressure
system through pressure regulators connecting the two
systems at necessary locations. About 15 per cent of the
customers are supplied from the intermediate and high
pressure system through house service pressure regulators.

In the Salem-Beverly division, the incoming gas is trans-
ported from the receiving station and L.P. Air gas plant
at Broad Street, Danvers, to the Salem gas plant at Pierce
Avenue, Salem, through a 12-inch diameter primary high

Aida

1331

pressure feeder main; and to a connection in Danvers to the
high pressure peripheral feeder system through a 12-inch
diameter primary high pressure feeder main. At the Pierce
Avenue plant, the gas is reduced in pressure and routed to
the high pressure peripheral feeder to the holders in Salem
and Beverly and to the low pressure systems in Salem,
Peabody and Beverly.

The high pressure peripheral feeder forms a loop which
extends from the holder station located at River Street,
Beverly, through parts of Beverly, Danvers, Peabody and
Salem, to the gas plant at Pierce Avenue, Salem. There are
high pressure feeder branches from the loop main and
connections where the low pressure system is reinforced
through pressure regulators. About 4 per cent of the ecus-
tomers in the Salem-Peabody division are served through
house service regulators from high pressure distribution
mains. The remainder of the customers are supplied from
the low pressure systems.

The North Shore Gas Company has approximately 347
miles of mains ranging from 114 inches to 16 inches in
diameter, consisting of 247 miles of cast iron mains, 62
miles of welded steel mains and 38 miles of wrought iron
or stee] mains with screwed or mechanical joint connee-
tions. Included in this total mileage are the principal high
pressure feeders which are about 58 miles in total length
and which range from 2 inches to 12 inches in diameter.
Approximately 85 per cent of the mains in the North Shore
Gas Company’s distribution system are 4 inches or larger
in diameter.

Nortuampton Gas Ligut Company

This company supplies gas to the City of Northamptof
and the Town of Easthampton. Natural gas is purchased
from the Tennessee Gas Transmission Company at the Kar!
Street delivery point from which gas for Northampton

AOE GE LOOT NAICS PRENSA AEOS IED i a ld

1332

flows to the Crafts Avenue production plant to the West
Street holder station, the distribution center for low pres-
sure delivery. At the Crafts Avenue plant there is an oil
gas plant containing one high Btu oil gas machine capable
of producing 55 MCF per hour or 1100 MCF per day.
Oil gas produced at the Crafts Avenue plant is mixed with
natural gas and distributed by compressors to the inter-
mediate pressure system extending north to Florence and
Leeds and also is sent to the low pressure holder at West
Street for low pressure distribution. Gas for Easthampton
is transmitted at high pressure from the Earl Street gate
station and cannot be peak shaved. Approximately 60% of
the total Northampton Gas Light Company load can be
peak shaved.

Northampton plans to install an L.P. Air gas plant at
the Karl Street delivery point this year. Following that
the oil gas plant at Crafts Avenue will be abandoned. This
will make it possible to peak shave the entire Northampton
system.

Gas for Easthampton flows from the Karl Street delivery
point through a high pressure feeder main which is partly
8 inches and partly 4 inches in diameter to the Easthampton
distribution system and to the Easthampton holder station
at Liberty and Mechanie Streets. A district regulator be-
tween the feeder main and the low pressure system pro-
vides pressure reinforcement. At the holder station in
Easthampton the gas is reduced in pressure and routed to
the holder, the low pressure network and to an intermediate
pressure feeder main which in turn supplies a district regu-
lator for reinforcing the pressure in part of the low pres-
sure system.

The low pressure systems in Easthampton and Northamp-
ton operate at a pressure of 6.0 inches water column.
Approximately 5 per cent of the customers of the North-
ampton Gas Light Company are served from high or inter-

1333

mediate pressure mains through house service pressure
regulators. The Northampton Gas Light Company has 69.7
miles of cast iron mains, 16.9 miles of welded steel mains
and 24.7 miles of wrought iron or steel mains with screwed
or mechanical joint connections. The total of 111.3 miles of
ma‘us includes 23.4 miles of principal high pressure mains
which range in diameter from 2 inches to 8 inches. 60.2
per cent of the total mains are 4 inches in diameter or
larger.

Norwoov Gas Company

The Norwood Gas Company purchases gas from the
Algonquin Gas Transmission Company, delivering it to the
Dean Street plant of Norwood. At this location Norwood
has an L.P. Air g&s plant with an hourly rating of 100
MCF of 1000 Btu equivalent gas at 13 psig, or 2400 MCF
per day. During normal peak-shaving operations L.P. Air
gas is mixed directly with the incoming natural gas and
distributed through regulators to the low pressure distribu-
tion system of Norwood and directly to the intermediate
pressure mains. Norwood has propane storage in the amount
of 50,000 gallons equal to 4600 MCF of 1000 Btu equivalent
gas.

In the event of complete failure of pipeline gas, the L.P.
Air gas plant is presently capable of supplying the entire
load of Norwood. During normal peak-shaving operations,
a 50% mixture of L.P. Air gas with natural gas is the
maximum permitted by interchangeability.

District pressure regulators connecting between the high
pressure feeder mains and the low pressure network at
necessary locations serve to reinforce the pressure in the
low pressure system. The low pressure system operates
at 6.0 inches water column. Approximately 11 per cent of
the customers of the Norwood Gas Company are supplied
from high pressure mains and house service pressure regu-

1334

lators. The Norwood Gas Company has 4.2 miles of cast
iron mains, 44.0 miles of welded steel mains and 23.9 miles
of wrought iron or steel mains which have screwed or
mechanical joint connections. The total of 72.1 miles of
mains includes 13.7 miles of principal high pressure feeder
mains ranging in diameter from 1!2 inches to 8 inches.
69.8 per cent of the total mains are 4 inches in diameter
or larger.

Wacuvusett Gas CoMPaNny

The Wachusett Gas Company consists of two completely
separated divisions, the Clinton division and the Leomin-
ster division. There is no physical connection between the
distribution systems of those two divisions. The Leominster
division of the company has an L.P. Air gas plant and
storage holder located at Mill Street in Leominster. The
L.P. Air gas plant is a high pressure plant with a produe-
tion capacity of 130 MCF per hour @ 10 psig of 1000 Btu
equivalent gas or 3120 MCF per day. Fuel storage for L.P.
Air gas produetion consists of 50,000 gallons of propane
storage equal to 4600 MCF of 1000 Btu equivalent gas. L.P.
Air gas as produced for peak-shaving is mixed directly with
the incoming natural gas and routed to the high pressure
feeder system and also through a pressure regulator to the
local low pressure distribution system. A 90% mix of
L.P. Air gas and natural gas is considered to be the maxi-
mum usable mixture during peak-shaving on account of
interchangeability problems with appliances. In the event
of a complete failure of natural gas supply the capacity of
the L.P. Air gas plant is sufficient to carry the entire
Leominster division load of Wachusett Gas Company.

The Clinton division of Wachusett Gas Company has no
production facilities of any kind. There is at the Pleasant
Street holder station a 150 MCF wet seal holder capable of
supplying pressure to the low pressure portion of the town

1335

of Clinton, and tthis with a readily established emergency
tie with Worcestter provides backup to this division,

The Wachusettt Gas Company purchases all of its natural
gas requirementss from Tennessee Gas Transmission Com-
pany through tweo receiving stations; one located at Bishop
Street, Leominster, and the other located at Barrett Street,
Clinton.

In the Leomimster division, the incoming natural gas
flows through a 66-inch primary high pressure feeder which
leads from the reeceiving station to the L.P. Aid gas plant
at Mill Street, Lueominster. At the gas plant location, the
gas is reduced in pressure and routed to the storage holder,
the low pressure: distribution system and to the high and
intermediate preessure feeder mains which extend into
Leominster and ypart of Lunenburg. Approximately 10 per
cent of the custoomers in the Leominster division are sup-
plied through hovwse service pressure regulators from high
or intermediate poressure mains. The remainder of the cus-
tomers are supplied from low pressure mains in which
the pressure is reeinforeed by district regulators connected
between the high «or intermediate pressure feeder mains and
the low pressure? mains at necessary locations. The low
pressure system coperates at a pressure of 6.0 inches water
column.

In the Clinton, division, the incoming natural gas flows
through a 6-inch primary high pressure feeder main which
leads from the reeceiving station to the holder and regulator
station at Pleasaint Street, Clinton. At the Pleasant Street
location the gas iis reduced in pressure and routed to the
150 MCF storage> holder, the low pressure distribution net-
work and to a igh pressure feeder main which extends
into Clinton to ssupply a district regulator station. The
district regulatorr station reinforces the low pressure net-
work supplying C“linton and a very small area of Lancaster.

SLES

1336

Less than 1 per cent of the customers in Clinton are served
from high pressure mains through house service pressure
regulators. Nearly all of the customers receive gas from
the low pressure system which operates at a pressure of
6.0 inches water column.

The Wachusett Gas Company has approximately 76.7
miles of cast iron mains, 8.7 miles of welded steel mains
and 11.5 miles of wrought iron or steel mains with serewed
or mechanical joint connections for a total of 96.9 miles
of mains. This latter figure includes 10.1 miles of princi-
pal high pressure feeder mains ranging in diameter from
4 inches to 10 inches. Mains which are 4 inches in diameter
or larger represent 86.1 per cent of the total length of the
distribution system.

‘I Dear Mr. Spencer: Res File No. 59-102

# Pursuant to the request of Mr. Leon Ware, we are submit-
te ting herewith schedules showing a breakdown of amounts in the Ebasco

3 studies of the changes in costs of the eight Massachusetts gas companies
7 of NEES resulting from severance, together with an estimated distribu-

q tion of increases in operating expenses by major accounting classifica-

4 tions. In view of the fact that no estimate has been made of the allo-
a cation of charges of the "Central Organization" under combined operation

among the eight companies, totals only have been included for combined
operation,

In addition, since some of the increases in operating
expenses are considered allocable to production, and since production
expenses and purchased gas were excluded from the summary. tabulation of
1958 operating expenses of Massachusetts gas companies which was submit-
ted as Respondent's Exhibit 90, it would appear that the column entitled
"Total-Pro Forma" of that exhibit should be revised to exclude the amount
allocable to production, A revised summary tabulation is enclosed.

We are sending you herewith four copies of each of the
above-mentioned schedules.

Sincerely yours

s/ Harry Hanson

INCREASES IN COSTS UNDER COMBINED OPERATION

The following analysis sets forth in summary form, the effect of
combined operation (separate from the NEES System) versus System operation
in the year 1958, or the net effect of severance a8 & group upon the operations
of the eight System gas companies,

Under Executive, Administrative and Staff, the Pro Forma Payroll has
been taken from the Supplemental Report (Exhibit 91), while the actual figures
shown are derived from the Gas Severance Study - Volume I (Exhibit 58~A).

Under the various other sections, the increases in cost have been
sumarized from the Gas Severance Study (pages 136, 237, 348, Lb7, 537, 631,
725 and 831), except where changes in operations have been contemplated under
combined operation versus independent operation, Each change is explained in
a note or by a Supplementary Schedule detailing the basis of the change, using
48 @ source the Pro Forma figures in the Supplemental Report and Actual figures

in the Gas Severance Study.

RESPONDENTS’ EXHIBIT NO. 106
[Letterhead — New Enouanp Execrric System]
December 7, 1960
Mr. Samuel Gishman
Assistant Chief Financial Analyst
Branch of Public Utility Regulation
Securities and Exchange Commission
Washington 25, D. C.

Dear Mr. Gishman:

This is in answer to your telephone inquiry concerning
reconciliation of the $1,300 increase in ‘*Executive, Admin-
istrative and Staff’? payrol] and expenses (shown on page
719 of Exhibit 58 A), which would result from independent
versus system operation of Norwood Gas Company, to
the accounting effect of such increase for the year 1958 as
shown on page 720 of Exhibit 58 A.

In 1958, Norwood built a liquid propane plant and Nor-
wood’s 1958 actual payroll costs (see page 709 and second
paragraph on page 719) included $6,800 for payroll plus
$1,600 related fringe benefits and expense reimbursement,
an aggregate of $8,400, for the engineering services of the
Malden Gas Division which were charged to plant. Under
independent operation, the Executive, Administrative and
Staff payroll and expense for 1958 (see page 718 and first
paragraph on page 719) would have been all chargeable to
expense, except for $1,900 which is considered to be the
normal administrative payroll charged to construction.
Other engineering services, such as was necessary in 1958
in connection with the liquid propane plant installation,
would have been obtained from an outside source and
charged to plant. Moreover, an additional] $1,200 of Nor-
wood’s actual payroll was charged to other than expense
accounts, i.e., $1,000 to merchandising (see top of page 721
re merchandising) and $200 to clearing accounts which,

or

cate

PAC 8 eA MET YN ROTI ESAS FH RR ay

1394

it has been assumed, would have been charged to expense
under independent operation. Therefore, the $8,400 appli-
cable to the engineering services of the Malden Gas Division
plus (a) $1,200 of Norwood’s 1958 payroll charged to other
accounts, (b) $6,800 estimated increase in payroll resulting
from independent operation, (¢) $500 increase in annual
expense reimbursement and (d) $800 increase in payroll
fringe benefits total $17,700 from which was deducted the
actual NEPSCO billings of $7,000 charged to expense in
1958 to arrive at the $10,700 increase in operating expenses
as shown on page 720.

I hope this explains the situation to you. If not, please
phone and we’ll try again.

Sincerely yours
(s) Harry Hanson

40 NEW NEW ENGLAND UTILITIES ”, AN 'IOUEFIED

NATURAL GAS STORAGE PROJECT: (Journal
of Commerce, February 7) -- By Lewis Brig-
ham -- Forty gas utility firms in four New
England States are pushing toward the construc -
tion of a natural gas liquefaction plant to help
meet the area's chronic fuel price problem.
Talked about for years, the formation of the
New England Gas Pooling group last year is
aimed at developing an underground refrigerated
supply of liquefied methane during the low
demand summer months to help offset heavy
line withdrawals during the peak winter demand
months. Impetus for the plan really originated
three years ago when in the middle of the

winter heating season the main line for one of
the two natural gas transmission lines serving
New England broke down. Additional impetus
came from the dramatic success scored by the
tanker, Methane Pioneer, which, outfitted with
special aluminum and balsa wood tanks to hold
the liquid methane at its required 258 degrees
below zero during shipment, brought seven
cargos of southwestern U. S. methane to the
London, England, gas system.

Future developments for the Methane Pioneer
plan of tankering liquefied methane await de-
cision from the British Gas Council, but in the
meantime, the New England gas companies are
about to move themselves. At the same time,
the American Gas Association has been con-
ducting studies which will have a definite bearing
on the New England program, even though carried
out separately. The AGA research has been
aimed at developing a more economic form of
storing the methane which must be brought down
to 260 degrees below zero in order to be kept
ina liquid state. ''Cyrogenic, '' or underground,
storage is the key to methane's commercial
usage in gas utility operations, according to the
AGA, which now says the best storage prospect
is a concrete vault as opposed to the prohibitively
expensive aluminum and balsa wood design used
on the Methane Pioneer for its seven voyages to
‘ondon.

In fact the AGA hopes to erect a pilot storage
unit this fall at a site yet to be determined using
reinforced concrete and insulated walls. This
will be a small 1,000-barrel unit for experimen-
tal purposes, primarily. While the details of the
New England plan with regard to storing the
liquefied methane have not been made clear as
yet, chances are it will embody the AGA concrete
approach to an extent. This is particularly true

inasmuch as New England lacks depleted gas
fields where product can be stored as is the

. case in the southwest producing areas. Best

bets for the location of both the gas lique -
faction plant and storage area though is said
by area utility observers to be somewhere
near Worcester, Mass. which is central to
the four states involved--Connecticut, Rhode
Island, New Hampshire and Massachusetts.
For the New England gas customers, as well
as the firms themselves, the development
could mean a real boom. Chronically beset
with energy price problems during the winter
months, the area is highly vulnerable to peak
energy prices and line breakdowns.

The New England utilities would, of course,
purchase the so-called "valley" gas, that is,
the product available to the utilities in the
summer when it is at its most plentiful and
offered at its best rates. On this basis, the
engineering firm of Stone and Webster is un-
derstood to have told the New England group
that this "valley" gas would be available 15¢
per thousand cubic feet below the price in-
dicated in earlier plans for Venezuela liquefied
methane which could be tankered in during -
the winter to meet the season's peak demands.
The transmission lines are expected to be
enthusiastic over such an operation which
would aid in leveling out the "peaks and
valleys" of their seasonal demand pattern.

POWER PLANT AUTOMATION BREAKTHROUGH

EXPECTED THIS YEAR: (New York Times,
February 5) -- By Gene Smith -- This is
supposed to be the year for the automated
electric power plant. Both engineers and
manufacturers of automation equipment that
controls the varioys operations of a modern
power plant feel that the actual breakthrough
will come this year, either in Louisiana or on
the Pacific Coast. The Louisiana installation
should have the first chance. It is the Little
Gypsy plant of the Louisiana Power and Light
Company, an operating subsidiary of the
Middle South Utilities System. This parent
company already has logged successful oper -
ations in certain phases of the automation
field. Only last week at the winter meeting

of the American Institute of Electrical Engi-
neers, Gerhard L. Hollander said that a
process control computer in Louisiana Power's
Sterlington station had run almost continuously

(Continued on next page)

DC-F
‘

day and night for six months in guiding a power
plant's operations, It was out of use, for
maintenance and related reasons, less than one
percent of the time during this half-year test
period, A spokesman for Middle South said
that the Sterlington computer's performance
actually had been "99. 99 percent perfect. =

The computer was supplied by Daystrom, Inc.,
for the 225, 000-kilowatt unit.

And Middle South also controls its three-state
network--Arkansas, Louisiana and Mississippi--
from a central dispatching office at Pine Bluff,
Ark. The heart of this operation is a generation
computer designed by Leeds & Northrup Com-
pany. The California chance will come later
this year at the Southern California Edison Com-
pany's Huntington Beach generating station.

The General Electric Company's computer de-
partment at Phoenix, Ariz., is supplying the
computer equipment for what it described as

“the world's most advanced computer --automated
steam-electric power generating units." This
computer -controlled system will start and stop
the generating equipment, provide data -logging
and alarm functions, make continuous performance
calculations and maintain constant supervision

of the generating units. This will mean continuous
scanning to monitor conditions such as fuel and
water flow, steam temperatures and pressures
and electrical values.

Scanning must be done at rates up to 300 points
a second, which is said to be the equivalent of
digesting the contents of a 300-page book in five
minutes. Each hour, 50 critical quantities that
are needed for permanent records of operating
conditions will be logged in a digital code and
prinfed on an automatic typewriter in the form
. of common engineering terms, The new system
is even equipped to handle automatically hot
and cold starting, normal and emergency shut-
downs and complete supervision of the boiler -
turbine-generator systems. Utilities have long
been users of computers for such relatively
simple functions as billing and engineering
department calculations and studies, as well as
for automatic dispatching equipment to call on
various power stations and units for best per -
formance under all conditions, Industry spokes -
men estimate 22 automation contracts have
been signed for delivery of power -generating
units linked with computers through 1964.
Ebasco, the large consulting and engineering
concern, expects to purchase at least six auto-
mation systems for power stations within six
months. Thompson-Ramo-Wooldridge, Inc.,
reportedly has at least 18 propositions outstanding
with consulting engineers and utilities for steam
plant automation equipment.

The original-reason for utilities to buy such
equipment was simply the question of whether

1454

it was cheaper to spond dollars for equipment
or hire more workers. L. F. Kennedy, man-
ager of G, E, 's system protection and control
engineering operation, explained that today,
as the processes become more and more com-
plex and larger amounts are invested in equip-
ment, man is no longer able to absorb all that
is going on and to react fast enough to control
efficient operations. ''An operator today would -

. have to have a fantastic memory and a pair of
roller skates to duplicate the ability of a com-
puter to effectively analyze 1,200 bite of
information every 15 seconds, as will be done
with future power stations, '' he said. Mr,
Kennedy predicted that before 1970 the power -
industry would see all unite of 250, 000 kilo-
watts and larger digitally-controlled. Smaller
units will follow soon after. W. J. McLachlan,
manager of G, E, 's electric utility systems
engineering operation, explained that a 500, 000-
kilowatt steam station could realize capitalized
savings of about $1, 250, 000 to $2, 750, 000
through complete automation. A spokesman
for Leeds & Northrup estimated that a digital
computer and minimum associated gear would
cost about $250, 000 if used for computation
only. If control gear is added, the cost may
be "two, three or ten times" as great depending
on the end use, he said. Nevertheless, the
company finds that about 20 percent of its
over-all business comes from power plant
instruments, controls and computers and that
volume in this area is improving.

LAKE SUPERIOR DISTRICT POWER'S $3

MILLION BONDS ARE AWARDED: (Wall Street
Journal, February 8) -- Chicago -- Lake
Superior District Power Company awarded its
$3 million of single-A rated first mortgage
bonds to Salomon Bros. & Hutzler and Baxter
& Co. The successful bid was 99.577 fora
4-5/8 percent coupon, That gave the utility,
based in Ashland, Wis., an annual net interest
cost of about 4.65 percent. Salomon Bros. and
Baxter & Co, planned to release the bonds for
general distribution, following compliance with
Securities and Exchange Commission require-
ments, at 100. 404, to yield 4.60 percent to
maturity on February 1, 1991. Preoffering
indications of retail interest in the issue at
that price and yield were described as "from
fair to good. "' The new 4-5/8s will be optionally
redeemable by the utility at prices ranging from
105.03 down to par. Other bids came from
Halsey, Stuart & Co., Inc., 99. 414 for a 4-5/8
percent coupon; Kidder, Peabody & Co. and
White, Weld & Co,, jointly, 99.31 for a 4-3/4
percent coupon, and Robert W. Baird & Co.,
Inc., 99. 949 for a 4-7/8 percent coupon. Lake
Superior District Power will put the proceeds
into its construction program.

OPINION OF THE CouRT
June 4, 1965

AvprIcH, Chief Judge. This is a petition seeking to review
and set aside a divestment order of the Securities and Ex-
change Commission pursuant to section 11(b)(1) of the Public
Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, 15 U.S.C. § 79k(b) (1),.
requiring the petitioner, New England Electric System (NEES)
to dispose of its gas utility properties by terminating its rela-

tionship with its eight subsidiary gas companies. The
1456 ultimate question in the case, which the Commission.
resolved against NEES, was whether divestiture would
cause the loss of “substantial economies” within the meaning,

of the cited section.
(1455)

1456 A

Briefly, NEES is a registered holding company controlling,
at the time of the hearing, fourteen electric utility subsidiaries
and eight gas subsidiaries, with some 824,000 retail electric
customers in the states of New Hampshire, Massachusetts,
Rhode Island and Connecticut, and some 237,000 retail gas
customers in Massachusetts. Seventy-eight percent of its gas
customers are also served by the electric companies. Except
for certain peaks and emergencies the gas distributed is natural
gas supplied by pipe line companies from the southern United
States. The gas companies have separate offices and manage-
ment, but their top officers are responsible to the top officials
of NEES. There was a lengthy hearing before an examiner
at which NEES sought to show that the cost of divestment to
the electric system would be $804,000 annually, and to the
gas system, if operated as a single unit after severance, $1,098,-
000.1 The Commission held, inter alia, that the financial effect
upon the electric system was not a relevant inquiry, but that
if it was it was not significant. This we do not reach. It
j also held, which we do reach, that the claimed financial con-
sequences to the gas system were not substantial as it con-
: strued the statute, but that if they were they had not been
‘ adequately proven.

4 Basic to its decision, as the Commission recognized at the
% outset of its opinion, is the meaning of the Act and the stand-
ards which it imposed. Briefly, section 11(b)(1) required

divestiture unless NEES could satisfy the provisos
1457 or exceptions? contained in sub-paragraphs, or clauses,
(A), (B) and (C). Clauses (B) and (C) were admit-

tedly met. Clause (A) reads as follows:
~ “(A) Each of such additional systems cannot be op-
erated as an independent system without the loss of sub-
stantial economies which can be secured by the retention
of control by such holding company of such system;”
Before considering whether the Commission’s interpretation
of this clause was correct we must determine what its inter-

‘NEES’ actual figure was $1,165,000, but the Commission reduced this
by $67,000 as a result of a “revised basis of payments” authorized by it.
NEDS does riot presently dispute this adjustment, bat potnts out that the
reverse adjustment must be made to the estimated electric system losses.

*The Commission uses the word “exceptions,” and criticizes N EES’ word
“provisos.” NEES’ distinction, as we read it, was in response to a heavy
burden of proof which the Commission sought to attach to exceptions. See
fn. 4, infra.

pretation was. At the beginning of its opinion the Commission
stated that to prevent divestiture NEES must show,
“that the additional systems were integrated in nature
and ‘were so small that they were incapable of inde-
pendent economic operation’ and had a ‘real economic
need’ for management together with the principal sys-
tem. Congress was aware th
