NATIONAL FUEL GAS COMPANY                          CERTIFICATE
UTILITY CONSTRUCTORS, INC.                         PURSUANT TO
                                                   RULE 24
File No. 70-7367
(Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935)

____________________________________________



         In accordance with the Order of the Securities and Exchange 

Commission ("Commission") in this File 70-7367 dated December 6, 1994 

(HCAR No. 26181) Utility Constructors, Inc. ("UCI") hereby files, as 

Exhibit "A", its balance sheet as of September 30, 1994 and, as 

Exhibit "B" its income statement for the twelve months ended 

September 30, 1994.

         During its 1994 fiscal year, (twelve months ended 

September 30, 1994) UCI continued its pipeline construction and 

auxiliary construction and maintenance services for associate and 

non-associate companies.  During the fiscal year, UCI undertook 

approximately 32 projects.

         Twelve projects were undertaken for associate companies in 

New York and Pennsylvania.  Five projects each were done for National 

Fuel Gas Supply Corporation ("Supply") (transmission pipeline and 

storage pipeline and metering work) and National Fuel Gas 

Distribution Corporation (residential service installations and 

pipeline work).  Two projects were undertaken for Seneca Resources 

Corporation (well lines and well services).

         The remaining projects were undertaken for non-associate 

companies.  Twelve projects were undertaken for upstream pipeline 

suppliers, Tennessee Gas Pipeline, CNG Transmission Corp., and 

Columbia Gas Transmission Corp.  The work for these companies was in 

New York, Pennsylvania and West Virginia and ranged from cathodic 

protection of existing pipelines to the installation of nine miles of 

30-inch diameter pipeline.

         The remaining eight projects were divided among:  a producer 

that supplied gas to the National Fuel system, another New York local 

distribution company that has been a customer of Supply, a 

Pennsylvania municipal utility authority, the Pennsylvania Department 

of Environmental Resources and two private parties.

         Because of the relatively low wellhead prices of natural gas 

and limited drilling activity in the Appalachian Basin, UCI sold its 

drilling rig during the first quarter of the fiscal year.  UCI will 

still be active in the well maintenance areas with its service rigs.

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned companies have duly 

caused this certificate to be signed this 10th day of February, 1995.
