Provision for granting of a gen eral franchise for natural gas de livery in Siskiyou County was in cluded in the report. According to Sprout, the line is expected to initially transmit 450 million cubic feet of gas a day, and will have its California termi nus at Antioch, and will pass through Idaho, Washington and Oregon. However, according to Sproul. the advantage of additional natur al gas to the state did not auto matically mean that natural gas would be available to Yreka. Weed or Mount Shasta. He added fur ther, that it would be the decision of the State Public Utilities Com mission and would, depend on where such delivery Is most eco nomically feasible. Ihe route of the proposed pipe line would pass near Round Mountain in southeastern Siskiyou County, then would go southerly west of Mayfield ice caves and to Timber Crater in Shasta Coun ty. s According to Sproul. the gas would be produced by a wholly owned subsidiary of PG&E, Al berta and Southern Gas Company, Ltd., and transmission would be through other subsidiaries jointly owned by the Canadian govern ment, P.G.&E., and several other U.S. companies. He added that the reason the franchise was re quested was that several county roads must be crossed. Hearings will be held later on the franchise request, if the super visors approve the application.
