Possibly further revision In the size ®ay be required to fit standard metal card flies* If you concur, or have any other revisions In mind, we will send seven (7) samples of porposed revision. With respect to Form 26: The present column entitled "Name* serves no purpose inasmuch as Service Numbers only are shown on Form 2$, from which they are transferred, to Form 26. It appears that we can eliminate this column and save considerable time in typing the re­port * If this is done it will afford room for the In­sertion of an additional column entitled "Adjustments* in which we would show vacancy allowances in red or addi­tional accruals in black, thus eliminating any change or interlineation in column "Water This Month*.

However, there is very little llklihood of this as consumer is given a receipt for payments in all eases and same is then entered on Form 25. However,we shall be gl&d to give further con­sideration to this fora of receipt if you feel that it should be used. 3* Depit adjustments for water service revenues accrued in previous months are made on 26 subsequent Forms from the record we keep in the office showing vacancy allowances. These vacancy allowances are made only on authority of the Assistant to the General Manager or myself and then only after we have satisfied ourselves
