Ryan, president and chief executive officer.

Compared to the- same period last year, consolidated earnings totaled $5 million, or $1.90 •per share, based on 2,653,645 average shares outstanding. RYAN ATTRIBUTED the improved performance to increased sales by South Jfersey Gas Co. (South Jersey Gas), SJI's natural gas utility subsidiary, due to a return to normal weather from the mild

winter of 1983. as well as the addition of approx imately 2,000 new customers Additionally, the increased earnings were tie? result •>f the rate relief granted to the utility by me New Jersey Boar*, oi Public Utilities in May, 1983. South Jersey Gas reported earnings of $6.» million for the six-month period compared to $4.3 million for the same period in 1983 Energy |i Minerals.

(Morie Com pany). the sand and gravel mining subsidiary, experienced a 16 percent increase in earnings for the six-month period, compared to the same period last year. Ryan reported This was due to increased sales and the impact of the operation of Morie Company's New JerseyDivision at higher than expected levels, and improved efficiencies in other

operations Morie Com pany's results were offset by reduced earnings trom South Jersey Fuel, Tnc. caused by unstable prices for fuel oil
