any increase or decrease, respectively above or below the $1.6598 per MCF level
in the intracompany city gate charge as authorized by the Railroad Commission
of the State of Texas or other regulatory body having jurisdiction for gas
delivered to Lone Star Gas Company's distribution system for sale to residential
and commercial consumers where such charges are caused by increases or decreases
in the cost of gas purchased by the Lone Star Gas Company; plus an amount
equivalent to the proportionate part of any new tax, or increased tax, or any
other Governmental inposition, rental, fee or charge (except State, County,
City and special district ad valorem taxes and taxes on net income) levied

any customer served under the rates authorized by this ordinance at an intra-
company city gate charge exceeding $2.00 per MCF. Company at its option, may
forego the application of any adjustment if such adjustment would result in an
increase in the monthly bill; failure of the company to apply any adjustment
shall not constitute a waiver of company's right to make any adjustment in whole
or in part, in any subsequent current monthly bill that may be applicable to such
bill. Lone Star Gas Company is expressly prohibited to exercise waiver right to
adjustment in any manner constituting discriminatory application between customers
or classes of customers served under authorization from this ordinance.
