The Consumers' Gas Company
;)f its intention to discontinue
study and discussion oft
passible amahtamation or merger
of t he companies.
The Diree>ti rs of Union Gas
have .concluded that thorough
'Study of the proposal by
,,independent consultants and its
own senior executives, which.has
been in progress since November
10, 1967. has -not provided
sufficient e:idence that. an
amalgamation or Merger would
be advantageous ' to the
M
shareholders or eus "o ers of
Union .Gas,. They have
therefore: decided that further
study of the feasibility of
amalgamation or merger is not
• justified at this time.
