COMPLAINT RELATIVE TO METER CHARGE - ANDREW MORAN President Campbell read the following letter from Andrew Moran protesting the meter charge. ’’Dear Sirs February 27, 1956 Upon making an application for water service I was told that there was a $27.00 service charge for installation of water meter. I have been using water since I moved in and water pipes have been connected to this house, therefore, don't mind paying for charge of use of water either by monthly contract or meter rates. Please consider the facts that it is your move to install j a water meter, therefore, it is not my responsibility to pay for it. I moved in this house about the second week of February and don't feel obligated to pay for such serviee. I have a family of five children and don't feel that it is to my benefit paying for installation of such meter. Very truly yours, /s/ ANDREW MORAN”
