Rule 3 is changed to read as follows: 3. SERVICE CONNECTIONS AND MAIN EXTENSIONS. Customer shall grant to Company right -of -way on his premises for the installation and mainte- nance of the necessary pipes, underground construction, and appurtenances, and shall without expense to Company provide and maintain on the premises, at a location satisfactory to Company, proper space for Company's piping, meter installations, regulators, and appurtenances. Customer shall provide for the safekeeping of Company's meters and other equipment and shall reimburse Company for the cost of any altera- tions to Company's property necessitated by customer and for any loss of or damage to Company's property located on the premises unless such loss or damage is occasioned by Company's negligence or causes beyond the con- trol of customer. Company will designate the location of, and at its own expense furnish and install a service of proper capacity for a maximum horizontal distance of 40 feet inside the property boundary, as platted, of property abutting upon any public street, highway, lane or road along which Company has or will install gas mains.. (a) FOR INDOOR METERING - From its gas main to and including the first fitting or valve inside customer's building wall, (b) FOR OUTDOOR METERING - From its gas main to the service riser. If the service is to exceed 40 feet in length inside the property line, Company will charge customer for the expense of installing that portion in excess of 40 feet at the price per foot then in effect. Company will also, at its own expense, furnish and install the piping, for a distance not to exceed five feet, (a) FOR INDOOR METERING - From the service to the meter header or meter yoke (b) FOR OUTDOOR METERING - From the end of the horizontal service pipe to the outside of the customer's building wall. (Continued on following sheet) GAS If this distance Exceeds five feet in length, Company will charge customer for the expense of installing that portion in excess of five feet at the price per foot then in effect. a. Main Extensions to Serve Residential Customers The Company at its expense, will 'extend its gas main a.distance of not to exceed 100 feet per customer to be connected at the time the extension is completed. If the necessary footage of gas main extension exceeds 100 feet per customer the cost of such excess main extension shall be paid in advance to Company at the price per foot then in effect. b. Main Extensions to Serve Commercial and Industrial Customers 1.

If the necessary footage of gas main extension exceeds 100 feet per cus- tomer the cost of such excess main extension shall be paid in advance to Company at the price per foot then in effect; provided, however, the Company will at its expense extend, enlarge or change its mains or other facilities for supplying service when the anticipated revenue -from the sale of additional service to result therefrom justifies the expenditure. When such expenditure is not justified the extension, en- largement or change may be constructed by, (1) a payment in advance by customer to Company of the difference between the estimated cost of the required extension, enlargement or change in mains' or other facili- ties and two times the estimated annual gas revenues to be received' from such customer or (2) a guarantee satisfactory to Company to pay annually to Company a specified minimum charge for a specified length of time, or (3) a combination of both methods. 2.

Classes D -E Special consideration (Continued on following sheet) (2) a guarantee satisfactory to Company by customer to pay annually to Company a specified minimum charge for g specified length of time, or (3) a combination of both methods. In determining the justifiable expenditure; Company shall take into consideration its total cost of serving the applicant, so that the rendering of service to the appli- cant shall not cast a burden on other customers. The entire main, service and the piping from �he service to the meter header or meter yoke as installed by Company shall be its property and shall be maintained by Company at its expense. If the service or gas main is installed during the months of December to April, inclusive, because of failure of customer to complete arrangements with Company by October 31, or because customer's property, or the streets- leading thereto, are not ready to receive the service pipe or gas main, re- spectively, by such date such work will be subject to the winter construc- tion charge then in effect for the entire length of underground service or gas main installed. If within the five year period'(1) additional customers are connected to the original main extension or an extension therefrom or (2) the require- ments of a commercial or industrial customer are increased, Company will redetermine the contributions necessary for the original main extension and extensions therefrom under the new conditions of service and will refund to customer the amount by which the original contribution received exceeds that which would be required under the new conditions of service. Provided, how- ever, in no event shall total refunds to customer be more than the original contribution made by him, excluding any payments to cover the additional expense of winter construction. Rule 10 is unchanged except that the second paragraph thereof is changed to read as follows: Availability of service under a rate schedule at any particular location in a community or territory where the schedule is shown to be effective, de- pends upon the proximity of the particular location to Company facilities of adequate capacity at suitable pressure and the limitations of the Company's extension rules and regulations and Town Border Purchase Contract. The ex- tent to which Company will extend, enlarge, or change its facilities to supply service is determined as provided by its Service Connections and Main Extensions Rule. Subject to the extension rules, the Company may provide service to customers using 50 Mcf or more per day at the available pressures in excess of 10 psig (pounds square inch gauge). Customers using less than this amount will be served at available pressures of 10 psig or less. Total requirements of a customer supplied under the General Service rate shall not exceed 200,000 cubic feet per day. Rule 13 is renumbered Rule 14 and is changed to read as follows: 14. BILLING. Bills will normally be rendered monthly. An estimated bill will be rendered if Company is unable to obtain a reading of the meter, and adjustments, if any, will be made in the bill based on the next reading ob- tained. (Continued on following sheet) Bills are due and payable upon presentation and may be paid at the office of Company or its duly authorized agents during regular business hours. A "month" as used for billing purposes does not mean a calendar month, but means the interval between two consecutive periodic meter reading dates which are as nearly as practicable at thirty day intervals. Fractional month billings shall be prorated on a daily basis except that the meter reading date may be advanced or postponed not more than 5 days without adjustment for the billing period. The total period of service for billing purposes shall in no event be considered as less than one month. Rule 14 is renumbered Rule 15, Rule 15 is renumbered Rule 16. Rule 16 is renumbered Rule 17. Insert a new Rule 13 which reads as follows: 13. SERVICE TO TRAILER PARKS. Gas service to Trailer Parks will be sub- ject to all General Rules and Regulations and the following special pro- visions!

Any revision in the purchased gas adjustment due to a change in the town border rate shall become effective on bills based on regular meter readings on and after 30 days from the effective date of the change in the town border rate.

In the event a refund is received by the Company from Northern Natural Gas Company attributable to the cost of gas which has been sold by the Company under the fore- going purchased gas adjustment clause, such attributable refund, multiplied by the factor 1.053, together with interest thereon received by the Company will be applied as a reduction in the purchased gas adjustment until the amount of such attributable refund and interest has been expended.

O'Connell City Clerk Court House CITY Cf r- t. ;'S 4; ; Saint Paul, Minnesota Dear Mrs. O'Connell: On May 24, 1961, the Federal Power Commission approved new rates and a proposed refund plan for Northern Natural Gas Company, our pipeline supplier, as satisfactory compliance with the interim order accompanying Opinion No. 342 issued by the Commission on March 7, 1961, in Docket Nos. G -19040 and G- 19041. That opinion resolved the rate of return issue only in the above indicated rate proceeding and ordered Northern Natural Gas Company to reduce its rates and make certain refunds to its utility customers. We anticipate that there will be further refunds ordered when the Commission issues its final order. The new rates as approved by the FPC have reduced our cost of gas for general service in our St. Paul Division by 0. 3 per Mcf. Therefore, we have made a reduction of 0. 3� per Mcf in our general service rates. Under the refund plan. approved by the FPC our Company received a refund, of which $48, 998. 66 is attributable to gas sold in our St. Paul Division during the period July 1, 1960 through April 26, 1961. Our general service rate_ schedules, effective July 1, 1960, provide that any refund received by Company attributable to gas sold thereunder shall be applied to the purchased gas adjustment until such refund has been expended. Consequently, we have reduced our general service rates an additional 2. 7� per Mcf until such refund has been expended. The above reductions in rates under the purchased gas adjustment provision totaling 3� per Mcf are being applied to general service customers' bills commencing with bills based on meter readings on and after May 27, 1961. Honorable Mrs. Agnes H. O'Connell June 29, 1961 When the FPC issues its final orders in pending rate cases of Northern Natural Gas Company, or at an earlier time if feasible, we will pass onto our customers refunds received from Northern .Natural Gas Company attributable to gas sold in our St. Paul Division. from October 8, 1958 to July 1, 1960, during which period we increased our rates in our St. Paul Division to offset increases in our cost of gas resulting from said rate cases.

O'Connell City Clerk Court House Saint Paul 2, Minnesota Dear Mrs. O'Connell: This is to advise you that Northern States Power will make a temporary reduction of 3. 0� per Mcf in its charges for natural gas to its General Service customers in Saint Paul. NSP is making this temporary reduction as a result of a refund it received on April 16, 1963, from its pipeline supplier, Northern Natural Gas Company. Northern Natural is able to pass the refund on to NSP as a result of refunds it received from certain producers in the Hugoton Field of Kansas and Okla- homa, and against whom Northern Natural pursued claims for overpayments for gas purchased under invalid Minimum Price Orders of such states. These refunds to Northern Natural were made in the manner prescribed by the Federal Power Commission order dated December 28, 1960, issued in Docket Nos. G -2217 and G -2505. Although this refund received by NSP related to a period preceding the intro- duction of a purchased gas adjustment clause in our General Service rate schedule, we are passing on this refund in our Saint Paul Division by reducing our purchased gas adjustment for general service an additional 3. 0� per Mcf until the amount of $120, 250. 19 has been expended. It is estimated that this amount will be expended in the Saint Paul Division in about five months. The temporary reduction of 3. O� per Mcf is to be applied to General Service customers' bills commencing with bills based on meter readings on and after April 29, 1963. Yours ve y truly, J. F.

X ce 0M P9kNY J — En On December 21, 1961, the Federal Power Commission issued an Order approving the Rate Settlement Agreement between Northern Natural Gas Company and its.utility customers in Docket No. G -19040 et. al., which docket represented the eighth rate increase filed by Northern. Section IVa of the Rate Settlement Agreement provided in part that if as a result of the Commission's Decision in proceedings involving various gas producers Northern's cost of purchased gas for the future was reduced, Northern shall file such reduced rates provided that the computed reduction equals or exceeds 1 � per Mcf of billing demand units. As a result of•the Commission's Decision involving three of the gas producers (Shell Oil Company, Kansas - Nebraska Natural Gas Company and Cities Service Petroleum Company), . . Northern's monthly contract demand charge was reduced 1. 7� ,,per'Mcf effective February 27, 1963. , This reduction in our pipeline supplier's town border rates results in a re- duction of 0. 1 � per Mcf in our Company's purchased cost of gas for general service in St. Paul. This reduction will be passed on to our general service customers pursuant to the purchased gas adjustment clause in our rate schedule and will result in a decrease of 0. 1 � per Mcf. i This decrease in the purchased gas adjustment will become effective on customers' bills based on regular meter readings on and after March 29, 1963. For your information, as of that date, when combined with the presently 1 effective purchased gas adjustment, the resulting purchased gas adjustment 1 for general service will be a minus 5. 7� per Mcf.

Said schedule will supersede the corresponding schedule now in effect and in essence merely establishes an additional rate classification "F" applicable to interruptible gas consumers with maximum daily requirements of more than 12000 Mcf and Mcf monthly requirements of 200000 Mcf or more for at least six months each year.' Such schedule is accordingly limited in amendatory effect and, as aforesaid, changes the rate schedule pattern and does not adversely affect any existing interruptible gas customer of said Company. The revision represented by said new schedule, as provided by said ordinance, shall take effect 60 days after written notice thereof has been filed by said Company with the City Clerk and with the Commissioner of Public Utilities, unless during such interim period the City Council shall by resolution have disapproved the same. The said revised rate schedule was the subject of an exposition by said Comp&T and its representatives before the Public Utilities Committee on November 26, 1962, and was then made to appear reasonable and economically necessary. Said Public Utilities Committee was then advised that by order of the Federal Power Commission the town border rate schedule of Northern Natural Gas Company, the public utilities supplier of natural gas to Northern States Power Company for distribution in the City of Saint Paul, will be changed, effective December 27, 1962, with the result of a decrease in the demand component by 25.2 cents per Mcf and the further result of an increase in the commodity component by one cent per Mcf. Consequently, there will be •ti To the Honorable Council of the City of Saint Paul _2_ November 27, 1962 a resultant decrease in the cost of natural gas supplied by Northern Natural Gas Company to Northern States Power Company for general service and an increase in cost of such natural gas for interruptible service resulting in a decrease of Northern States Power Company rate schedules of 1.4 cents per Mcf in cost of such natural gas to its general service customers and an increase of 1.1 cent per Mcf in cost of gas to its interruptible service customers. Such adjustments in Northern States Power Company rate schedules will be made pursuant to said ordinance and will represent approximately $204,000 annual decrease in natural gas service costs to said Company's general service customers and approximately an annual increase of $120,000 to its interruptible service customers. The aforesaid computations, in respect of the rate increases and decreases, are supplied by Northern States Power Company's letter addressed to the Commissioner of-Public Utilities under date November 23, 1962, a copy whereof is hereto annexed and made part of this communication, and such computations were confirmed at said hearing before the Public Utilities Committee. This matter is respectfully submitted to the Council and it appears that no immediate action is required. PUBLIC �UjTILITIENCGOITTEE By Bernard T. Holland, Commissioner of Public Utilities City of St. Paul INTERRUPTIBLE SERVICE AVAILABILITY Available on an interruptible basis to a commercial or industrial customer whose maximum hourly requirements are in excess of 1000 cubic feet and who will agree (1) to curtail his use of gas whenever requested by Company, (2) to provide and maintain suitable and adequate standby facilities, and (3) to have available at all times sufficient standby fuel to maintain continuous plant operation during periods of curtailment in the delivery of gas sold hereunder.

O'Connell City Clerk Court House Saint Paul 2, Minnesota Dear Mrs. O'Connell: I f_ E;) This is to advise you that a decrease of 0. 6� per Mcf will be made in our General Service gas rates in the St. Paul Division. This permanent rate decrease is being made through the purchased gas adjustment clause in our General Service gas rate schedule and will become effective on bills based on regular meter readings (in and after January 27, 1964. As a result of such change the present purchased gas adjustment becomes minus 9. 6� per Mcf of which 3. 0� per Mcf is temporary for refund purposes. We anticipate such refunds to be expended in April, 1964, at which time the purchased gas adjustment will then become minus 6. 6� per Mcf. This decrease in our General Service gas rates is made possible by a decrease of 0. 6� per Mcf in our purchased cost of firm gas. This reduction in our purchase cost of firm gas is the result of a Federal Power Commission order in Docket No. RP64 -15 accepting a lower town border rate filing by Northern Natural Gas Company, our pipe- line supplier.

This change in effective date was brought about by Northern Natural advancing the date on which it reduced the price for gas to Northern States Power Company. Jee truly yours, Owens, Jr. ident and Man er N -C o -i d NSP NORTHERN STATES POWER COMPANY ST. PAUL 2 MINNESOTA January 23, 1963 l OFFICE OF FiLE0 VICE PRESIDENT AND MANAGER The Honorable Mrs. Agnes H. O'Connell 963 JAII 23 PH 3 :•0 City Clerk Court House CITY CLEt ,K'S C -:' Saint Paul, Minnesota SAINT Dear Mrs. O'Connell: On December 28, 1962, the Federal Power Commission issued an order in Docket No. CP61 -132 authorizing Northern Natural Gas Company, our pipeline supplier, to construct and operate facilities for the delivery of natural gas to an extraction plant which will remove liquid hydrocarbons from the gas stream on its system. The Commission concluded that this operation will reduce the heating value of the gas delivered by Northern Natural to an average of not less than 985 Btu per cubic foot. This authorization is closely related to the extraction from the gas stream of helium which is sold to the United States Government for vital scientific processes and defense programs. In that proceeding the City of Saint Paul, represented by Mr. Donald L. Lais, Corporation Counsel, and Mr. Louis P. Sheahan, Director of Law, and our Company took the position that such authorization should be granted only upon the condition that the town border rates of Northern Natural Gas Company be reduced to offset any increased volumes which our Company must buy to obtain equivalent service because of the reduction in heating value. We are happy to inform you that the Commission recognized the merit of our position and in its order provided that Northern Natural Gas Company shall reduce its town border rates by decreasing the monthly contract demand charge 15. 5 cents per Mcf and the commodity charge 0. 76 cents per Mcf coincident with its initiating deliveries to the extraction plant. The order also requires our Company to contract for additional contract demand volumes equal to 2. 5% of our present contract demands to offset the reduced heating value of gas. I I S ,I I T f Mrs. O'Connell -2- January 23, 1963 These reductions in our pipeline supplier's town border rates result in reductions of 2. 1 cents per Mcf in our Company's pur- chased cost of gas for general service in Saint Paul and 0. 76 cents per Mcf for interruptible service. These reductions will be passed on to our customers pursuant to the purchased gas adjustment clauses in our rate schedules and will result in a decrease in cost of gas to our general. service customers of 2. 2 cents per Mcf and to our interruptible customers of 0.8 cents per Mcf (after adjust- ment for the 5% gross earnings fee pai&7,in Saint, Paul). It is our opinion that these unit reductions per Mcf will approximately offset the cost of any 'additional volumes that our customers may purchase as a result of this reduction in heating value. It is anticipated that these decreases in purchased gas adjustments Will become effective on customers' bills based on regular meter readings on and after February 26, 1963. For your information, as of that date, when combined with the presently effective purchased gas adjustments, the resulting,purchased gas adjustments will be minus 5. 6 cents per Mcf for general service and plus 0. 3 cents per Mcf for interruptible service.

PAUL 2 MINNESOTA May 5, 1964 LEI 1 C,OM PANY F— cra This is to advise you that a decrease of 0. 7� per Mcf has been made in our General Service gas rates in the City of Saint Paul. This permanent rate decrease was made through the purchased gas adjustment clause in our General Service gas rate schedule and became effective on bills based on regular meter readings on and after April 27, 1964. Northern States Power Company is also passing on benefits in the amount of $34, 258. 57 to its General Service gas customers in the St. Paul Division by means of temporary rate reduction of an additional 0.5� per Mcf under the purchased gas adjustment clause in our General Service gas rate schedule. As a result of the above changes, the present purchased gas adjustment has become minus 7. 8 � per Mcf, of which 0. 5 � is temporary for refund purposes. This decrease in our General Service gas rate is made possible by a reduction in our purchased cost of firm gas made under a Federal Power Commission Order in Docket No. RP64 -15, by Northern Natural Gas Company, our pipeline supplier, and results from a reduction in Northern Natural's federal corporation income tax rate from 5276 to 5076. The refund results from the retroactive effect to January 1, 1964 of the reduction in our purchased cost of firm gas. Yo rs very truly, F.
