Our 86-inch-diameter, $170,000,000 pipe line, extending from the Canada-U.S. boundary through Idaho, Washington and Oregon to California, is one of the na tion's principal arteries of energy. Every, day the Alberta-California "Big Yard" eystem delivers more than a billion cubic feet of natural gas to markets in the Northwest and California. It would take more than seven Grand Coulee Dams to produce the equivalent amount of energy in electricity. Our pipeline lies buried underground, quietly performing its task out of sight And many of our compressor plants are located at isolated locations, like Kent Station in Sherman County, Oregon, shown above.

We have a substantial pay roll. We buy goods and services here. Pacific Gas Transmission Company is a big taxpayer; in several counties crossed by our pipeline we're the largest taxpayer. In 1970, well over half of our $1,700,000 tax bill went to schools. So we're a majcr supporter of public education. THE POINT IS, we don't think just pay ing taxes and being a substantial citizen is enough. We want to encourage the fine young people in our communities who are trying to help themselves to become re sponsible, productive citizens. For the past three years, PGT has spon sored financial grants-in-aid to disad vantaged technical and vocational students at community colleges and technical schools along our pipeline.
