PG&E Files
Application
YREKA Leigh Smith, division
manager of the Pacific Gas and
Electric Company from Red Bluff,
and John Sproul, company attor
ney, appeared before the Siskiyou
County Board of Supervisors, Tues
day, December 16, and filed an
application for a franchise for a
36-inch gas line to pass through
the southeast section of Siskiyou
County, the pipe line to have its
terminus in Alberta, Canada, nat
ural gas fields.
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.
