Abstract: At a time when the price of natural gas is rising to heights that only a dreamer would have thought about years ago, this business of measurement is getting increased attention throughout the industry. Not so long ago, we were left to go about our business almost unnoticed but, in the last few years everyone seems to be sticking his nose into our affairs. Aggravating as this may be at times, it is not all bad. This focus on measurement has opened some eyes to our problems and has helped us to do some of the things that may :iot have been feasible in the past. Still, we in measurement find ourselves in an awkward situation. On one hand, we are constantly told that due to the increased cost of gas, we must measure it more accurately. On the other hand, we are being asked to cut the operating costs by going to longer reading charts, fixed factor billing or compensating indexes. I realize that there are some who feel that longer reading charts are as accurate as any other, but I cannot see where a 31-day chart, for instance, can possibly be as accurate as a 7-day chart. We should all be committed to the best measurement possible. We must determine if the cost of accurate measurement can offset the necessary operating costs of more than once-a-month visits to meters.
