HISTORICAL SKETCH

Citizens Gas & Coke Utility, a municipal public trust, was created in 1906 as a successor to the Consumers Gas Trust Company, started in 1887 in an attempt to develop the natural gas recently discovered in east central Indiana. The gas industry in Indianapolis had its beginnings in 1851 with artificial gas being used for the lighting of city streets. The Indianapolis Gas Light & Coke Company was given a special charter to lay pipes and erect gas works. This type of gas lighting was later operated by two companies named Citizens Gas Light & Coke Company and another named the Indianapolis Gas Light & Coke Company. Natural gas pumped into Indianapolis for use as fuel by the Consumers Gas Trust Company reached the city in December, 1888. Its rival was the Indianapolis Gas Company, incorporated in 1890 as the successor to the Indianapolis Gas Light & Coke Company and the Indianapolis Natural Gas Company, and controlled by directors in New York. Citizens Gas Company, incorporated in 1906, took over Consumers' operations in May, 1907. Citizens and Indianapolis Gas merged in 1913, with the name remaining Citizens Gas Company. The company operated out of offices in the Majestic Building, 49 S. Pennsylvania St. In 1918 Citizens purchased the Milburn Coal Company of West Virginia to help ease its coal supply limitations. That company was then renamed the Milburn Coal & By-Products Company.

In March, 1929, the Indianapolis Board of Works gave Citizens Gas Company formal notice of its intention to exercise its ownership option under the 1905 franchise agreement. The transfer from trust to public ownership occurred in 1935 when the Indiana General Assembly vested ownership in Citizens Gas & Coke Utility in the city of Indianapolis in the form of a public charitable trust. Under this arrangement the utility uses no tax money with the consumers acting as beneficiaries of the trust. The company is overseen by a Board of Trustees (5) who appoints a Board of Directors (7). The directors named initially named Thomas Law Kemp general manager of the company and Dean T. Burns superintendent of the Prospect St. plant. Burns replaced Kemp in 1952 and Victor C. Seiter succeeded Burns in 1965. Richard A. Steele became general manager in 1973, succeeding Seiter.

By an agreement with the Panhandle Eastern Pipe Line of Texas, Citizens has been providing natural gas fuel for its customers since 1951. In the 1990s, approximately 85% of Citizens' customers use natural gas for fuel. The company also continues to produce naturalized coke, originally used for heating, but now sold to foundries and blast furnaces. In 1956 the company moved from the Majestic Building to its new headquarters at the 2000 block of N. Meridian. The Milburn By-Products Coal Company's name was changed to the Citizens By-Products Coal Company in 1957 to allow for the storage of underground gas.
