INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

Employee Benefits Committee of
Public Service Electric and Gas Company:

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for
benefits of the Public Service Electric and Gas Company Thrift and Tax-
Deferred Savings Plan (the "Plan") as of December 31, 1994 and 1993, and
the related statements of changes in net assets available for benefits for
the years then ended.  These financial statements are the responsibility
of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test
basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating
the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan at December
31, 1994 and 1993, and the changes in net assets available for benefits
for each of the years then ended in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the
basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental information
by fund is presented for the purpose of additional analysis of the basic
financial statements rather than to present information regarding the net
assets available for benefits and changes in net assets available for
benefits of the individual funds, and is not a required part of the basic
financial statements.  The supplemental schedules of (1) assets held for
investment as of December 31, 1994 and (2) transactions in excess of five
percent of the current value of plan assets for the year ended December
31, 1994 are presented for the purpose of additional analysis and are not
a required part of the basic financial statements, but are supplementary
information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations
for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security
Act of 1974, as amended.  The supplemental information and the
supplemental schedules are the responsibility of the Plan's management.
Such supplemental information and schedules have been subjected to the
auditing procedures applied in our audit of the basic 1994 financial
statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects
when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a
whole.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.    SUMMARY OF THE PLAN

The Board of Directors of Public Service Electric and Gas Company (PSE&G)
adopted the PSE&G Thrift and Tax-Deferred Savings Plan (Plan) to encourage
thrift and savings by eligible employees (Eligible Employees).  It was
first offered to Eligible Employees in 1981. The Plan was last amended
October 17, 1994, effective January 1, 1995.  Participation in the Plan is
entirely voluntary, except with respect to those employees who
participated in the Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) Fund as a result
of their participation in PSE&G's TRASOP and/or PAYSOP, which plans were
merged into this Plan.  Eligible Employees are those employees not covered
by a collective bargaining agreement and who have completed 1,000 hours of
service with PSE&G or any affiliate of PSE&G participating in the Plan
(together hereafter each called an "Employer" or collectively
"Employers"). Certain Eligible Employees may also elect to have a
distribution from another qualified corporate plan contributed as a
rollover contribution with the approval of the Employee Benefits Committee
of PSE&G (Committee), the Plan Administrator. The Plan's Trust Fund now
consists of the Thrift Account Fund and the ESOP Fund, which are
separately maintained.

Under the Plan, participating Eligible Employees (Participants) may elect
to make basic deposits to Investment Funds of such  Participants choosing
within the Thrift Account Fund of 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, 5% or 6% of their
compensation (Basic Deposits), and their respective Employer will
contribute an amount equal to 50% thereof, subject to certain exceptions
and limitations (Employer Contributions).  In addition, Participants may
elect to make supplemental deposits to such Funds in increments of 1% of
Compensation up to an additional 9% of Compensation (19% starting January
1, 1995) (Supplemental Deposits), subject to certain limitations, without
any corresponding matching Employer Contribution.  Participants may
designate such Basic and/or Supplemental Deposits as Nondeferred (post-
income tax contributions) or Deferred (pre-income tax contributions).
Starting January 1, 1995, each Participant may, within any Plan Year, make
one or more Additional Lump Sum Deposits on a nondeferred basis in the
minimum amount of $250 and in such total amounts which when aggregated
with such Participant's Basic Deposits and Supplemental Deposits, do not
exceed 25% of his or her Compensation for that Plan Year.

The maximum amount of Deferred Deposits to a Participant's Thrift Account
may have to be limited to less than 15% of Compensation to meet
requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (IRC). The
extent of any such limitation will be determined from time to time by the
Committee based on the actual pattern of Deferred Deposits by all
Participants. If the  maximum permitted percentage of Compensation for
Thrift Account Deferred Deposits is reduced, then all Deferred Deposits in
excess of such percentage will automatically be treated as Nondeferred
Deposits. This will result in taxable income to the affected Participants
for Deferred Deposits in excess of any limit so established. The Committee
will attempt to assure that any such limitation will apply only to future
contributions, but it is possible


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)

that, in order to meet requirements of the IRC, the limitation will, in
some circumstances, have to be applied retroactively.  Deferred Deposits
may not generally be withdrawn until age 59-1/2. Nondeferred Deposits, on
the other hand, may be withdrawn at any time subject to certain penalties
and restrictions.

Thrift Account Deposits are made through payroll deductions by the
Participant's Employer, rollover contributions from other qualified plans
and, starting January 1, 1995, Additional Lump Sum Deposits.  Deposits by
Participants and contributions by their respective Employers are
transferred to a Trustee and separately held in the Plan's Thrift Account
Fund of the Trust Fund for investment and other transactions, as directed
by Participants. Participants are entitled to choose from among the
Investment Funds offered under the Plan in which to invest Deposits and
Employer Contributions.

Bankers Trust Company is the Trustee of the Trust Fund established
pursuant to the Plan.

Loan Provisions

The Trustee may, subject to the approval of PSE&G's General Manager,
Compensation and Benefits, lend a Participant who is employed by an
Employer an amount up to 50% of the value of the vested portion of such
Participant's Thrift Account and ESOP Fund, but no more than the aggregate
value of such Participant's Thrift Account or $ 50,000, whichever is less.
Any Participant loan must be for a principal amount of $ 1,000 or more and
no Participant may have more than two loans outstanding at any time
(beginning January 1, 1995 lump sum payments are also accepted). All
loans, including interest thereon, must be repaid by payroll deductions in
equal monthly installments of 12, 24, 36, 48 or 60 months as selected by
the Participant. However, a Participant may repay any such loan in full by
check at any time in accordance with such rules as may be prescribed by
the Committee.  A Participant may not apply for more than one loan in any
calendar year.  A loan to a Participant is considered an investment of
such Participant's Thrift Account and repayments of principal of any loan
together with interest thereon, are invested in the Thrift Account
Investment Funds of the Plan in accordance with the Participant's then-
current investment direction for Deposits and Employer Contributions.

Each loan bears interest at a rate fixed from time to time by the
Committee taking into consideration interest rates currently then being
charged. The rate of interest applicable to any loan at its inception
remains in effect for the duration of such loan.  During 1994, the rate of
interest on loans granted to Participants, by quarter and starting with
the first quarter, was 6%, 6-1/4%, 7-1/4%, and 7-3/4%. (See Note 2.
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES -  Loans.)

2.    SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The financial statements of the Plan have been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles.


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)

Dividends and Interest

Dividends, interest, and other income attributable to each Investment Fund
of the Plan are reinvested in that Investment Fund to the extent not used
to pay direct expenses of that Fund. (See Expenses of Plan, below.)

All Deposits and Employer Contributions to Fixed Income Fund C earn
interest at the composite rate of all Guaranteed Investment Contracts of
insurance companies (GICs) in which the assets of such fund are then
invested. Such rate varies as such GICs mature or are entered into and as
Deposits and Employer Contributions are made to and withdrawn from such
GICs. Under the GICs in effect during 1994, the composite rate of
interest earned by such assets so invested was not less than 7%.

ESOP Fund Participants receive quarterly payments directly from the
Trustee equal to the dividends paid to the Trustee on the shares of Common
Stock of Public Service Enterprise Group Incorporated (Enterprise), the
parent of PSE&G, held for their ESOP Fund.

Valuation of Investments

Investments of Equities Growth Fund A, Balanced Fund B, Enterprise Common
Stock Fund D, Stock Index Equities Fund E, Utilities Equities Fund F,
Government Securities Fund G, International Stock Fund H, and the shares
of Enterprise Common Stock held by the ESOP Fund are based upon quoted
market values. The Plan has invested the assets of Fixed Income Fund C in
GICs. The value of Fixed Income Fund C is based on the contract value of
all GICs in which the assets of the fund are invested. Temporary
investments are valued at cost which approximates fair market value.
Securities transactions are accounted for on the trade date.

In September 1994, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants
issued Statement of Position 94-4 (SOP94-4), "Reporting of Investment
Contracts Held by Health and Welfare Benefit Plans and Defined-
Contribution Pension Plans" which requires investment contracts issued by
either an insurance enterprise or other entity to be reported at either
fair value or contract value.  SOP 94-4 is effective for plan years
beginning after December 15, 1994, except that the application to
investment contracts entered into before December 31, 1993, is delayed to
plan years beginning after December 15, 1995.  The Plan is currently
evaluating what impact, if any, the adoption of SOP 94-4 will have on the
financial statements of the Plan as of and for the year ended December 31,
1995.

The Plan's financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the
financial reporting requirements of the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974, as amended (ERISA), as permitted by the applicable
rules. Under such requirements, realized gains and losses from securities
transactions are computed using an adjusted cost basis as prescribed by
the Department of Labor's (DOL) Rules and Regulations for Reporting and
Disclosure.  The adjusted cost is the fair value of the security at the
beginning of the Plan year, or cost if acquired since that date.
Unrealized gains and losses on securities held for investment are computed
on the basis of the change in fair value between the beginning and ending
of the Plan year.

Expenses of Plan

All expenses incurred in connection with the administration of the Plan,
including expenses of the Trustee, but excluding brokerage commissions and
taxes relating to the sale of shares of Enterprise Common Stock at the
direction of Participants, were paid directly by PSE&G and its
Participating Affiliates.


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)

The assets of Common Stock Fund D and ESOP Fund are invested in shares of
Enterprise Common Stock. Shares of Enterprise Common Stock required for
Fund D are purchased by the Trustee either directly from Enterprise, at
its sole discretion, on the open market through a broker or from the ESOP
Fund. All shares sold for Common Stock Fund D and the ESOP Fund are sold
by the Trustee on the open market through a broker. Brokerage commissions
and taxes are paid by the Participants.  However, in situations where the
ESOP is in a "sell" position and Fund D is in a "buy" position, Fund D
will buy from the ESOP at the closing price on the NY Stock Exchange.  In
such case no brokerage commissions are charged in the transaction.

Loans

A loan to a Participant is considered an investment of such Participant's
Thrift Account and the principal amount of the loan is treated as a
separate investment within the various sub-accounts of the Participant's
Thrift Account.  Repayments of the principal amount of the loan are
credited to each such sub-account, and repayments of principal along with
any accrued interest thereon are invested in the Plan's Investment Funds
in the same manner as the Participant's then-current investment direction
for Deposits and Employer Contributions. Loan amounts are taken from sub-
accounts of a Participant's Thrift Account in the following order:

(a)  Deferred Deposits
(b)  Unmatured vested Employer Contributions
(c)  Matured vested Employer Contributions
(d)  Rollover Contributions
(e)  Unmatured post-1986 Nondeferred Deposits
(f)  Matured post-1986 Nondeferred Deposits
(g)  Pre-1987 Nondeferred Deposits

Each loan is secured by an assignment of the Participant's entire right,
title and interest in and to the Trust Fund to the extent of the loan and
accrued interest thereon (See Note 1. SUMMARY OF THE PLAN - Loan
Provisions).

Interfund Transfers - ESOP Fund to Thrift Account

Participants are permitted to transfer all, but not less than all, shares
from their ESOP Funds to their Thrift Accounts. To effect such transfers,
the Trustee will sell the shares of Enterprise Common Stock held in the
ESOP Fund and invest the proceeds in the Thrift Account Funds designated
by the Participant. The cash value of each share of Enterprise Common
Stock so transferred will be equal to the price per share of Enterprise
Common Stock actually received by the Trustee. Any such transfer is
treated as a rollover contribution.



NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)

Vesting

Employer Contributions to a Participant's Thrift Account are immediately
vested upon a Participant's completion of five years of service with the
Employer or when a Participant is eligible for an immediately payable
retirement benefit, attains age 65, is disabled, is laid off or dies.  All
amounts credited to a Participant's ESOP Fund are fully vested.

Penalties upon Withdrawal

If a Participant withdraws vested Employer Contributions and/or Deposits
before they have been in the Plan for two full calendar years, such
Participant loses the matching Employer Contributions on Deposits made
during the subsequent three months.  Distributions to Participants
electing to withdraw Nondeferred Deposits and Employer Contributions are
made as soon as practicable after such elections are received by the Plan
Administrator. Nondeferred Deposits may be withdrawn at any time but
certain penalties may apply. Deferred Deposits may not be withdrawn during
employment prior to age 59-1/2 except for reasons of extraordinary
financial hardship and to the extent permitted by the IRC.  Distributions
to Participants of approved hardship withdrawals are made as soon as
practicable after such approval.

Benefits Payable

The AICPA Audit and Accounting Guide requires that benefits payable to
persons who are no longer active participants in a defined contribution
plan be disclosed in the footnotes to the financial statements rather than
be recorded as a liability of the Plan.  As of December 31, 1994 and
December 31, 1993 the net assets available for benefits included benefits
due to Participants who are no longer active Participants in the Plan in
the amount of $469,756 and $2,420,944, respectively.

3.    INVESTMENTS

The financial statements of the Plan include the following:

      (1)  The assets of Equities Growth Fund A are invested in the
           capital stock  of the Twentieth Century Investors Inc.
           Growth Fund (the "Twentieth Century Growth Fund"), a no-
           load, open-ended investment company or mutual fund.  The
           prospectus for the Twentieth Century Growth Fund indicates
           that such fund invests primarily in the common stock of
           companies considered by its investment manager to have
           above average potential for capital appreciation.



NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)

      (2)  The assets of Balanced Fund B are invested in the capital
           stock of Phoenix Series Fund Balanced Series (the "Phoenix
           Balanced Fund"), a no-load, open-ended investment company

           Fund indicates that such fund invests primarily in a
           combination of equity and fixed income debt securities that
           its investment manager expects to provide current income
           along with long-term capital growth and conservation of

           by the Trustee in Enterprise Common Stock.

      (5)  The assets of Stock Index Equities Fund E are invested by
           the Trustee in BT Institutional Equity 500 Index Fund
           ("Stock Index Equities Fund"), a no-load mutual fund
           managed by Bankers Trust Company, so as to achieve the
           approximate return of the Standard and Poor's 500 Composite
           Stock Index.

      (6)  The assets of Utilities Equities Fund F are invested in the
           capital stock of Fidelity Utilities Income Fund (the
           "Fidelity Utilities Fund"), a no-load, open-ended
           investment company or mutual fund. The prospectus for the
           Fidelity Utilities Fund indicates that such fund invests
           primarily in equity securities of gas and electric utility
           companies and companies engaged in the communications
           field. The Fidelity Utilities Fund may, from time to time,

           preferred stock.

      (7)  The assets of Government Securities Fund G are invested in
           the capital stock of Weiss, Peck and Greer Mutual Fund's
           Government Securities Fund (the "WPG Government Securities
           Fund"), a no-load, open-ended investment company or mutual
           fund. The prospectus for the WPG Government Securities Fund
           indicates that such fund invests primarily in debt
           obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S.Government, its
           agencies or instrumentalities which have remaining
           maturities of one year or more.

           the capital stock of T. Rowe Price International Funds Inc.
           (the "T. Rowe Price International Stock Fund"), a no-load,
           open-ended investment company or mutual fund. The
           prospectus for the T. Rowe Price International Stock Fund
           indicates that such fund invests primarily in common stocks
           of established, non-U.S. companies.

 b.   ESOP Fund

      Shares of Enterprise Common Stock held as assets of the Plan's
      ESOP Fund were transferred to the Plan in 1988 as a result of
      the spin-off and merger with the Plan of the non-bargaining unit
      portions of the PSE&G's former TRASOP and PAYSOP. No additional
      contributions in or transfers into the ESOP Fund are presently
      permitted or were allowed during 1994.

4.    UNIT VALUE INFORMATION - THRIFT ACCOUNT INVESTMENT FUNDS

Unit values of the Investment Funds were determined the last business day
of each month and, starting February 1, 1994 have been determined at the
end of each business day (Valuation Date) by dividing the market value of
net assets available for benefits by the number of units allocated to all
Participants as of the respective Valuation Date.

New units were allocated to each Participant's Thrift Account monthly and,
starting February 1, 1994, have been allocated at the end of each business
day by dividing Deposits made by, or on behalf of, such Participant for
such month or business day and the related Employer Contributions, if any,
together with repayment of the principal amount of any loan to the
Participant's Thrift Account including interest earned thereon during the
month or business day, respectively, by the unit value determined as of
the end of the Valuation Date. If a Participant makes a transfer between
Investment Funds, makes a withdrawal, receives a distribution or a loan,
or makes a rollover contribution, the amount so transferred, withdrawn,
distributed, loaned, or rolled over is also determined by the unit value
of each Investment Fund as of the applicable Valuation Date for such
transaction.

ESOP FUND VALUATION

Enterprise Common Stock share value is determined by using the closing
market price on the New York Stock Exchange as reported in the Wall Street
Journal as Composite Transactions. If a Participant withdraws shares, the
shares are, at Participant's election, either distributed to such
Participant or sold by the Trustee and the proceeds, net of commissions
and taxes, are distributed to the Participant.

5. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

The Company believes that the Plan and its related Trust including the
portions of the former TRASOP and PAYSOP applicable to non-bargaining unit
Participants, which portions were spun-off and merged with the Plan
effective January 1, 1988, qualified under Sections 401(a) and 501(a) of
the IRC and, as such, the Plan is exempt from taxation on its earnings.
A determination letter to such effect was obtained from the Internal
Revenue Service (IRS) in 1986.  Participants are not taxed either on
Employer Contributions or on the earnings credited to their Thrift Account
Fund, until distribution of such Thrift Account Fund.  On December 30,
1994, the Company submitted an application to the IRS for a determination
that the Plan and Trust continue to be qualified under applicable law.

6. COMPLIANCE WITH ERISA

The Plan is generally subject to the provisions of Titles I and II of
ERISA, including the provisions with respect to reporting, disclosure,
participation, vesting and fiduciary responsibility. However it is not
subject to the funding requirements of Title I, and benefits under the
Plan are not guaranteed by the Pension Benefit Guarantee Corporation under
Title IV of ERISA.

7.  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The assets of Fixed Income Fund C will be invested after December 31, 1994
in GICs with the following insurance companies which contractually provide
for a return of principal and a fixed interest rate for the contract

 Insurance Company which will expire December 31, 1999, net effective
 interest rate of 8.15%.

 Life Insurance Company which will expire December 31, 1999, effective
