The reduction in the third step of the present rate from 854 to 78¢ per Mcf will reduce the revenue in that bracket, composed chiefly of heating gas, in the approximate amount of $452,000. The reduction in the fourth step of the general service rate from 80 to 76¢ per Mcf will reduce the revenue in this bracket, originating chiefly from heating and industrial use of gas, in the amount of approximately $117,000. The reduction in the fifth step of this rate from 754 to 734 per Mcf will reduce revenues by approximately $1,200, making a total reduction of $570,200. In my opinion the reductions made in these various steps are con- sistent and form a proper and balanced rate schedule in essential compliance with the recommendation made by myself to the Utilities Committee.

NM' Q Northern States Power Company P Y St. Paul 2, Minnesota November 12, 1956 Office of Vice President and Manager Mr. Milton Rosen Commissioner' of Public Utilities 216 Courthouse Saint Paul, Minnesota Dear Mr. Rosen: qe acknowledge your letter of November 7. 1936, to M's. G. F. Johnson, ste tiag that they Utilities Committee has nesiao_sly agreed to request a reduction in the general service gas rate based on pro forma estimates for the year ending July 31, 1957, rather than on pro forma estimates which we had prepared for the year ended May 31, 1956. Although pro forma estimates for the year ending July 31. 1937, involve certain assumptions as to tutus* conditions, we are willing at this time to use such estimates as the basis for reducing the present general service gas rate in Saint Paul. Therefore, we have designed the attached rate schedule, which, on the basis of such estimates, will accomplish the requested reduction. Northern States Power Company is egreesble to amending Ordinance No. 9313, as amended, by substituting the attached rate schedule in lieu of the rate schedule for General Service appearing in Section 4 thereof.
