ISoSlC0 70 ms anu 6'oSs''~
Commencing August 1. 1871 this
company will inaugurate in Marsnah-
town, what is known as the contlnu-
Gus system of meter reading lnsteau
Of the present method of reading Al
meter during the last ten days OF each
month and the bill will be rendered Two
or three days after the reading OF the
meter instead of on the first OF the
month as has been done heretofore.
The discount will be allowed on these
bills if paid within ten days after the
rendition of the bill instead OF by the
tenth of the month as has been the
custom, the last date for discount being
stamped oil the face of each Dill.
BY this system, we expect to make
our billing more efficient in that the
meters will always be read on the same
day of the month by the same expert
enced meter reader and by having some
Of the bills fall due each day OF the
month, we can give our customers more
satisfactory service than when all bills
fall due on the tenth as .eretofore.
Wherever this system is in use it Is
proving much more satisfactory than
the old system and we are sure that
once you become accustomed to receiv-
ing bills in this manner you Will agree
that the service will be much more ef-
ficient
We are very grateful to our custom
ers for the many courtesies shown us
in the past and wish to thank you IN
advance for your cooperation in max
ing this billing system a success.
