FROM: John L. Hunter, Director of Utilities
RE: Remittance Control Machines
Proper procedure was followed in advertising for bids, receiving of
bids, approval by the Board, etc. The National Cash Register Company
was the only bidder since these are special machines needed in our
operation. The two prime reasons for acquiring new cash registers
are:
1. 'To provide a proper audit trail of account numbers
on cash register tapes. :Old machines have only
seven amount rows on which to ring up an account
number. The new billing system has a nine digit
account number. The new cash registers will have
nine amount rows to provide a proper audit trail.
2. In going to a bi- monthly billing we have increased
our work load 50 per cent. The old cash registers
will not hold up under this increased work load.
The amount of down time due to mechanical failures
would be significant enough to hinder our operations.
