withhold social security amounting
to 2 percent of the first $4,000 of
your wages. If you worked for only
one employer. this would amount
to $84. However, if you worked for
several employers, more than $84

Electric Company
Starts Billing
By New System

An "electronic brain" and a
punch card system will streamline
and simplify Ohio Edison Com
pany's billing procedures to resi-
Dental and small commercial GUS
toners in the Springfield area,
which includes London.
The changeover to the new bill
ing system in the area will get I'M
der way in late July, and will be
completed in late August. Other
divisions of the Edison Company
have already been changed over to
the new system, according to d.
M. Mustard, London Manager.
When all accounts served by the
Company are completed in the fall
of this year, more than $4,000
customers bills will be processed
each month from the new billing
center in Akron.
The billing change will reduce
costs, and thus help to offset in
creases in other costs of doing bus
mess. Through simplification of ac-
counting procedures, it also redu-
ces chances of error in billing.
In the course of the changeover
in the Springfield Division, many
of the meter-reading and billing
dates of customers will be changed
to fit the new system. Consequent.
ly those customers whose billing
dates will be changed will receive
electric bills during the change.
over for periods either shorter OF
longer than the normal one-month
billing period. Once the new billing
dates have been established, they
will remain the same each follow
ing month.
Under the new system, meter
readers mark a specially-prepared
card with an photographic pencil.
From that point on, punching ma
chimes and electronic calculators
take over. All mathematical comp
utations are made in a new style
electronic calculator that figures
the usage and the proper charge.
Any electric bill that shows an abb
normal increase or decrease from
previous months is automatically
elected for a human check. Vari-
Gus other check systems insure ac-
curacy of the billing equipment.
