Opponents Charge San Juan Gas Line Inadequate ' Opposin atWashington Tuesday questioned torneys whether Pacific Northwest Pipeto build a line Co. proposes pipeline skimpy natural gas from the San .Tuan Basin field to Bellingham, Wash. Lawyers for some of the four other apnlicants to pipe gas to the Pacific Northwest said they will try to prove the San Juan pipeline would be inadequate. The designer of Pacifics proposed pipeline Richard D. Ricketts of Houston, Tex., testified the 163 million dollar project would handle any peak day requirements totaling 342 million cubic feet of gas. Pacific would construct 2,000 miles of pipeline, including nodes of mainline from San Juan Basin in Colorado and New Mexico through parts of Utah, Wyoming, Idaho, Oregon and Washington.
