     All documents filed by the Company or the Plan with the SEC pursuant
   to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of
   1934 after the date of this Registration Statement and prior to the

   Registration Statement and shall be part of this Registration Statement
   from the date of the filing of such document; provided, however, that
   all documents (other than any amendments to the Company's Registration
   Statement on Form 8-A) so filed in each fiscal year during which the

   Item 6.     Indemnification of Directors and Officers

     Pursuant to New Jersey Business Corporation Act, Section 14A:3-5, a
   New Jersey corporation may indemnify its directors, officers, employees
   or agents in their capacities as such, or when serving as such for any
   other enterprise at the request of the corporation (each such person a
   "Corporate Agent"), against expenses and liabilities in connection with
   any proceedings.  Good faith and a reasonable belief that the conduct
   was in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, with
   respect to a criminal proceeding, no reasonable cause to believe that
   the conduct was unlawful, must be found by a majority vote of a quorum
   of disinterested directors, by independent legal counsel in a written
   opinion or by the shareholders.  In proceedings by or in the right of
   the corporation, a Corporate Agent, when the above standards of conduct
   are found as set forth in the previous sentence, may be indemnified for
   expenses.  However, if a court judges a Corporate Agent liable to the
   corporation, no indemnification shall be provided except as such court
   deems proper.  A Corporate Agent must be indemnified against expenses by
   the corporation to the extent such Corporate Agent has been successful
   on the merits or otherwise in a proceeding arising out of such Corporate
   Agent's duties.  A corporation may pay the expenses incurred by a
   Corporate Agent in advance of final disposition of the proceeding if
   such payments are authorized by the board of directors of the
   corporation upon the receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such
   Corporate Agent to repay such amount if it shall be ultimately
   determined that such Corporate Agent is not entitled to indemnification
   under Section 14A:3-5 of the New Jersey Business Corporation Act.

     The Company has insurance policies covering certain of its liabilities
   and expenses which might arise in connection with its lawful
   indemnification of its directors and officers for certain of their
   liabilities and expenses.  In addition, the Company carries liability
   insurance on behalf of its directors and officers against expenses
   incurred in proceedings and for liabilities asserted against them by
   reason of their being or having been a director or officer.

   Item 7.     Exemption from Registration Claimed

     Not Applicable.

        23(b)      Consent of Arthur 
                   Andersen LLP                  Filed herewith


   In lieu of an opinion of counsel concerning compliance with the
   requirements of ERISA or an Internal Revenue Service ("IRS")
   determination letter that the Plan is qualified under Section 401 of the
   Internal Revenue Code, the Company hereby undertakes to submit or has
   submitted the Plan and any amendment thereto to the IRS in a timely
   manner and has made or will make all changes required by the IRS in
   order to qualify the Plan.

   Item 9.     Undertakings

     The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

          (1)  To file, during any period in which offers or sales are
     being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

                    (i)   To include any prospectus required by Section
               10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

                    (ii)  To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events
               arising after the effective date of the registration
               statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment
               thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent
               a fundamental change in the information set forth in the
               registration statement; and

                    (iii) To include any material information with respect
               to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the
               registration statement or any material change to such
               information in the registration statement.

          (2)  That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
          Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall
          be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
          securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
          at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering
          thereof.

          (3)  To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
          amendment any of the securities being registered which remain
          unsold at the termination of the offering.

     The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
   determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing
   of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of
   the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing
   of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of
   the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference
   in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration
   statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering
   of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
   fide offering thereof.



                                     II-3<PAGE>


     Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
   Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and
   controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing
   provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the
   opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification
   is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore,
   unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for indemnification against
   such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses
   incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the
   registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding)
   is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
   connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will,
   unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by
   controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the
   question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as
   expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of
   such issue.

     The following documents heretofore filed by NUI Corporation (the
   "Company") or the NUI Corporation Savings and Investment Plan (the
   "Plan") with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") are
   hereby incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement.

     1.   The Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year
          ended September 30, 1994;

     2    The Plan's Annual Report on Form 11-K for the fiscal year ended
          December 31, 1993; and

     3.   The Company's Registration Statement on Form 8-A, filed on
          May 28, 1982, and Amendment No. 1 thereto on Form 8-A/A, filed on
          September 16, 1993.

     All documents filed by the Company or the Plan with the SEC pursuant
   to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of
   1934 after the date of this Registration Statement and prior to the
   filing of a post-effective amendment indicating that all securities
   offered have been sold or deregistering all securities then remaining
   unsold shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference in this
   Registration Statement and shall be part of this Registration Statement
   from the date of the filing of such document; provided, however, that
   all documents (other than any amendments to the Company's Registration
   Statement on Form 8-A) so filed in each fiscal year during which the
   offering made by this Registration Statement is in effect, shall not be
   incorporated by reference or be a part hereof, if with respect to a
   filing on behalf of the Company, from and after the date of filing of
   the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for such fiscal year or, if

   contained herein or in any other subsequently filed document which is or
   is deemed to be incorporated by reference herein modifies or supersedes
   such statement.  Any statement so modified or superseded shall not be
   deemed, except as so modified or superseded, to constitute a part of
   this Registration Statement.

                                     II-1
Item 6.     Indemnification of Directors and Officers

     Pursuant to New Jersey Business Corporation Act, Section 14A:3-5, a
   New Jersey corporation may indemnify its directors, officers, employees
   or agents in their capacities as such, or when serving as such for any
   other enterprise at the request of the corporation (each such person a
   "Corporate Agent"), against expenses and liabilities in connection with
   any proceedings.  Good faith and a reasonable belief that the conduct
   was in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, with
   respect to a criminal proceeding, no reasonable cause to believe that
   the conduct was unlawful, must be found by a majority vote of a quorum
   of disinterested directors, by independent legal counsel in a written
   opinion or by the shareholders.  In proceedings by or in the right of
   the corporation, a Corporate Agent, when the above standards of conduct
   are found as set forth in the previous sentence, may be indemnified for
   expenses.  However, if a court judges a Corporate Agent liable to the
   corporation, no indemnification shall be provided except as such court
   deems proper.  A Corporate Agent must be indemnified against expenses by
   the corporation to the extent such Corporate Agent has been successful
   on the merits or otherwise in a proceeding arising out of such Corporate
   Agent's duties.  A corporation may pay the expenses incurred by a
   Corporate Agent in advance of final disposition of the proceeding if
   such payments are authorized by the board of directors of the
   corporation upon the receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such
   Corporate Agent to repay such amount if it shall be ultimately
   determined that such Corporate Agent is not entitled to indemnification
   under Section 14A:3-5 of the New Jersey Business Corporation Act.

     The Company has insurance policies covering certain of its liabilities
   and expenses which might arise in connection with its lawful
   indemnification of its directors and officers for certain of their
   liabilities and expenses.  In addition, the Company carries liability
   insurance on behalf of its directors and officers against expenses
   incurred in proceedings and for liabilities asserted against them by
   reason of their being or having been a director or officer.

23(b)      Consent of Arthur

   In lieu of an opinion of counsel concerning compliance with the
   requirements of ERISA or an Internal Revenue Service ("IRS")
   determination letter that the Plan is qualified under Section 401 of the
   Internal Revenue Code, the Company hereby undertakes to submit or has
   submitted the Plan and any amendment thereto to the IRS in a timely
   manner and has made or will make all changes required by the IRS in
   order to qualify the Plan.

   Item 9.     Undertakings

     The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

          (1)  To file, during any period in which offers or sales are
     being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

                    (i)   To include any prospectus required by Section
               10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

                    (ii)  To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events
               arising after the effective date of the registration
               statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment
               thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent
               a fundamental change in the information set forth in the
               registration statement; and

                    (iii) To include any material information with respect
               to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the
               registration statement or any material change to such
               information in the registration statement.

          (2)  That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
          Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall
          be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
          securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
          at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering
          thereof.

          (3)  To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
          amendment any of the securities being registered which remain
          unsold at the termination of the offering.

     The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
   determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing
   of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of
   the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing
   of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of
   the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference
   in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration
   statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering
   of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
   fide offering thereof.

                                     II-3
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
   Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and
   controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing
   provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the
   opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification
   is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore,
   unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for indemnification against
   such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses
   incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the
   registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding)
   is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
   connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will,
   unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by
   controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the
   question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as
   expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of
   such issue.
