Company, applicable to gas purchased by the Company for distribution to its general ser-
vice customers in Jefferson County, Texas, as on file and effective with the Federal Power
' Commission on January 1, 1963. Whenever, because of any change made effective after said

purchased gas is more or less than it would have been if such change had not occurred,
then the rates stated above shall be increased or decreased, as the case may be, with
appropriate correction for differences in pressure base, by (a) the amount of the dif-
ference between the average cost per thousand cubic feet to the Company of gas purchased
under such wholesale rate schedule, as changed, and the average cost to the Company of gas
purchased under such wholesale rate schedule as in effect on January 1, 1963, plus (b) the
applicable proportionate part of any change which occurs, as a result of such increase or
decrease of the rates stated above, in any taxes or other governmental impositions or
changes levied on the basis of the prive of or the Company's gross revenues from the gas
service rendered. The new rates resulting from any such adjustment shall be computed to
the nearest tenth of one cent per thousand cubic feet.
Any such adjustment of the rates stated above shall be applied to all bills rendered more
than 30 days after the effective date of the change in the wholesale rate schedule and
shall be computed on the basis of the Company's purchases of gas during a period of sixty
consecutive months ending not more than three months prior to the date on which the change
in the wholesale rate schedule occurs; provided, however, that no such adjustment shall be
applied to any bill unless the Company shall previously have filed with the City Clerk a
sworn statement setting forth the change in the provisions of the wholesale rate schedule,
the change in the rate stated above resulting therefrom, and the calculations by means of
which such change in the rate stated above has been computed.
Special Terms and Conditions of Service. The use of the above rates is subject to the
Company's standard Rules and Regulations insofar as the same are applicable and are not
specifically modified herein.
Section 2. In the event any increase in wholesale prive made effective by United Gas

turn refund to its customers served hereunder the portion of said refund (including any
interest constituting a part thereof, but without addition of any further interest) to
which such customers, taken as a group, may be entitled on the basis of their purchases
of gas hereunder duringthe period or periods of time when the wholly or partially dis-
allowed price increase of United Gas Pipe Line Company was effective. Such refund to
the Company's customers served hereunder shall be made by applying an appropriate credit
to the amount of all gas bills issued for service rendered during a period of 12 con-
secutive months commencing not more than 60 days after receipt of the refund from United
Gas Pipe Line Company.
Section 3. All Ordinances or parts of Ordinances and amendments which are in conflict
herewith are to the extent of such conflicts only expressly repealed.
Section 4. The rates provided herein are authorized as maximum rates and may be applied
as to deliveries and service of natural gas for residential and commercial service during
all the monthly billing periods of the supplier commencing after the effective date of
this Ordinance.
Section 5. The meters of customers shall be read regularly at intervals of approximately
one 1 month, and the term "month" means a period of approximately thirty (30) days
intervening between two consecutive meter reading dates; provided, if service is volun-
tarily discontinued by the consumer or is discontinued by the consumer or is discontinued
for nonpayment of bills between meter reading dates, then the term "month" shall mean
the period between the last meter reading date in regular course of business and the
date of such discontinuance.
Section 6. That nothing in this Ordinance shall be construed in any way or manner, now
or hereafter, to limit or modify the right or power of the City Council under the laws
of the State of Texas to regulate the rates charged by the Southern Union Gas Company,
its successors or assigns, for service within the City of Nederland, Texas.

ARTICLE IL Objectives and Declaration of Policv
Minutes continued - February 24, 1970 141
1. The signatories to the Agreement establishing this Planning Commission hereby

of the region or area embraced by the Agreement and the communities within the region.
In achieving this purpose the Planning Commission may exercise any powers heretofore
or hereafter conferred upon it by State law.
2. The underlying concept of the City and County Officials of Jefferson and Orange
Counties, hereinafter referred to as the Southeast Texas Metropolitan Commission, is
that the general purpose units of government, which are closest to the people, should
exercise the basic initiative and leadership and have the primary responsibility for dealing
with those problems and needs which require action on a region -wide basis to eliminate
deuplication, and to promote economy and efficiency in the coordinated development
of the area.

business enterprises, now and in the future, are dependent upon an orderly development

A RESOLUTION
CONCERNING AMENDMENT NO. 4
WHEREAS, the 62nd Texas Legislature, at its Regular Session, 1971,
has passed Senate Joint Resolution No. 17, a proposed amendment to add a new
Section 49 -d -1 to Article III of the Texas Constitution; and
WHEREAS, said proposed amendment will appear on the ballot at a
Special Election to be held on May 18, 1971, as Amendment to No. 4; and
Minutes continued - May 11, 1971
WHEREAS, proposed Amendment No. 4 will permit the Texas Water
Development Board, on direction of the Texas Water Quality Board, to issue
additional water development bonds up to $100 million for use in providing
grants, loans, or combinations thereof, to cities, towns, and political sub-
divisions, so that these entities may qualiy for Federal matching funds for water
quality enhancement programs; and
WHEREAS, the proposed Amendment No. 4 provides that bonds author-
ized under this new Section 49 -d -1 and all bonds authorized by Sections 49 -c
and 49 -d of Arthicl III, Texas Constitution, may bear interest at not more
than 607o, instead of the existing rate of 41o; and
WHEREAS, the adoption by the people of proposed Amendment No. 4
would make it possible for the State of Texas to realize a greater return on tax

ment Board to sell its bonds in today's competitive bond market; and

already overburdened city taxpayers; now therefore
