The need for small agencies for collection is fast drawing to a close, The original contract with the Rater Company was on the basis of a 2% gross on the collections. After consider?%dy by their auditors, they have during 1953 replaced, such contracts with new ones on a straight- 56 per payment per bill, which is going to make a considerable, amount of difference in the compensation to the water company. For the past year, our compensation has averaged- $120. a month, which is about 16-2/3& per bill.
