vided by law. Service hereunder is subject to the orders of regulatory
bodies having jurisdiction, and to the Company's Rules and Regulations
currently on file in the Company's office.

for an ordinance fixing and determining the rate for gas and gas service
furnished to residential and commercial consumers creates an emergency
and the reading and passage of this ordinance at three separate meetings
is hereby suspended and this ordinance shall take effect and be in full
force from and after the date of its passage at a single meeting and the
