ACCOUNT NUMBER AND SERVICE ADDRESSES SHOWN ON BOTH PORTIONS OF THE POSTCARD. ECONOMICAL AND SAVES MONEY ON POSTAGE DUE TO ZIP CODE SORTING (SAME AS TOWN HAS) AND LESS POSTAGE CHARGES DUE TO SIZE AND WEIGHT. POSTCARDS ARE CAPABLE OF SHOWING THE DEMAND CHARGES FOR THE CUSTOMERS THAT DO HAVE DEMAND METERS. CODES ARE USED DUE TO THE SPACING FACTOR TO REPRESENT THE TYPES OF UTILITES THE CUSTOMER IS BEING BILLED FOR. THEY ALSO SHOW BY USING THE CODES IF THE CUSTOMER IS BEING BILLED FOR RESIDENTIAL ELECTRIC OR COMMERCIAL, THE SAME APPLIES FOR WATER BILLING. THEY ALSO USE A CODE FOR TAX AND SEWER AND FOR MISCELLANEOUS CHARGES. DISADVANTAGES: MOST OF THE TOWNS AND CITIES CONTACTED ONLY SHOW ONE TOTAL FOR THE RETURN STUB BALANCE DUE. THE COMPUTER SYSTEMS THEY RAVE AUTOMATICALLY ALLOCATES THE PAYMENTS TO ELECTRIC , WATER, OR SEWER INTERNALLY. IF A CUSTOMER PAYS MORE OR LESS THAN THE AMOUNT DUE THEN THE COMPUTER WILL ALLOCATE THE DIFFERENCE TO THE DIFFERENT ACCOUNTS A CUSTOMER HAS. SOMETIMES THE BILLING-CLERKS HAVE-TO LOOK UP THE ACCOUNTS.ON PRINTOUTS TO MAKE-SURE THAT THE PAYMENTS ARE RECORDED ON THE CORRECT LOCATIONS. MISCELLANEOUS CHARGES (BAD CHECK, OFF-ON CHARGES, BASE TAP ACCTS.) ARE, IN SOME CITIES, INCLUDED IN THE GRAND TOTAL AND ARE NOT SPELLED OUT ON AN INDIVIDUAL LINE BA5IS. THIS IS DUE TO THE SPACE FACTOR OF THE LEFT HAND SIDE OF THE POSTCARD. THERE ARE SOME CITIES AND TOWNS THAT ARE ABLE TO LIST INDIVIDUAL CHARGES WITH THEIR OWN LINE ESPECIALLY IF ONLY LIGHT AND POWER IS BILLED. IF LIGHT AND POWER ALSO WATER ARE BILLED TOGETHER THEY ARE ABLE TO USE SEPERATE LINES,BUT SOMETINES THEY, RUN OUT OF SPACE. THERE IS NO SPACE FOR MESSAGES TO BE PRINTED ON THE RETURN PORTION. NOT ENOUGH SPACE TO SHOW UTILITY AMOUNT DUE AND UTILITY AMOUNT PAID ON STUB (ESPECIALLY IF CUSTOMER IS PAYING A DIFFERENT AMOUNT). SOME CUSTOMERS DID STATE THAT IF A RETURN ENVELOPE WAS INCLUDED THE PAYMENTS WOULD BE RETURNED QUICKER. THE ·STUB WOULD NOT BE WIDE ENOUGH TO RUN THROUGH THE CASH REGISTER. THE STUB MUST BE AT LEAST 3"WIDE IN ORDER TO HOLD ONTO THE SIDE OF THE STATEMENT WHILE RUNNING PAYMENT INTO THE CASH REGISTER. - '-' ~6*,4 6" *-ele, 4£ 4 Ui n , I AU hao - 7#U DJ- °41,3,1£ 0 41 3/1,· Bill r C> ICL Fi . 0 .
