Mr. L. A. White: 3l> 5-7, trAacnksnmoiwtlteidnggi pnrgo ypoousre dl netetwe Fro rMmasr ckh f 1?2,2 fssiMl.e 26 for new system of accounting to be Installed: We have carefully studied the proposed plan and believe that some of the proposed changes, If adopted, would be beneficial. Our present plan of accounting was adopted In 1932 and considering the growth of the town and corresponding growth of the Water Company, probably the method of accounting should be changed and brought up to date. However, there are details of the plan that I would like to go into more thoroughly to de­termine their affect, not only from an accounting stand­point, but also the bearing that It will have on our handling the public expeditiously in the Water Office. At the present time, Form % is prepared before the customer arrives at the office, his receipt Is ready as soon as he pays his water bill and very little time is consumed while he waits to be served. Under the new plan the consumer would have to wait until we looked up his service card, inserted the block, lot and rate, then checked Form 27 to determine what months bill was due. We sometimes have five sheets of the present Form 25 or 200 entries per day which, however, are all eolumnlaed, making it possible to close the account at 2:00 PH, total the entries, check the cash and make our deposit before the Bank closes at 3:00 PH. Ifoder the new plan the items would have to be checked and picked up from Forms with increased possibility of error. With regard to Form 26, it is not entirely clear how this form could be submitted at the close of each month, audited and returned for compiling of delinquent notices on the 15th. The Interim would find us with no copy of the Form 26 to work fro®.
