                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
INSTRUCTIONS:        The space below is provided for important notes regarding
                     the financial statements or any account thereof.  Furnish
                     particulars as to any significant contingent assets or
                     liabilities existing at the end of the year.  Notes
                     relating to financial statements shown elsewhere in this
                     report may be indicated here by reference.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     a.   Property, Plant and Equipment and Related Depreciation

                Property, Plant and Equipment is stated at historical cost.
          Depreciation is provided on a composite straight-line basis using the
          average of depreciable property at the beginning and end of each
          year.

     b.   Income Taxes

                The Corporation provides deferred taxes with respect to timing
          differences in the recognition of revenues and expenses for tax and
          accounting purposes.  The major difference results from using
          accelerated depreciation for tax purposes.  The Corporation is
          included in the Consolidated Federal Income Tax Return filed for The
          Columbia Gas System, Inc.

     c.   Pension Costs

                The Corporation participates in the Retirement Income Plan of
          The Columbia Gas System, Inc.  This is a trusteed noncontributory
          Retirement Income Plan which, with certain minor exceptions, covers
          all regular employees.  The Service Corporation's portion amounted to
          $1,042,000 in 1995 and $1,476,000 in 1994, including the amortization
          of unfunded prior service costs.

     d.   Leases

                Payments made by the Corporation in connection with operating
          leases are charged to expense as incurred.  No capitalized leases
          existed in 1995.

     e.   Account Numbers

                The Corporation uses certain FERC accounts which do not match
          existing SEC accounts; therefore, the year-end balances of the
          following FERC accounts were reclassified to a corresponding SEC
          account.

f.    Post-Retirement Benefits Other Than Pensions

            During 1991, the System adopted SFAS No. 106, Employer's Accounting
      for Post-Retirement Benefits Other Than Pensions, retroactive to January
      1, 1991.  The Corporation has elected to record and defer the full amount
      of its estimated accumulated post-retirement obligations other than
      pensions.  These obligations total $13,681,000 as of December 31, 1995,
      and represent the actuarial present value of the post-retirement benefits
      to be paid to current employees and retirees based on services rendered.

g.    System Money Pool

            The System Money Pool exists for affiliate companies to borrow
      excess cash from other affiliate companies.  Prior to 1995, the
      Corporation served as the System Money Pool's administrator.  A change in
      accounting occurred in 1995 which eliminated the accumulation of these
      loans on the System Money Pool administrator's records.
