NEW COMPUTERS ARE VERSATILE George Knowles, account prediction is that they will machine supervisor, tries out one of two new tax-billing computers delivered to Osh- awa City Hall last week. The figure tax bills, installments, discounts and net tax in half the time taken by the four, 30- year - old machines formerly used. They are versatile too. They may be used to com- pute payrolls and record elec- tion results. --Oshawa Times Photo Tax Department Gets New Billing Machines The new, mechanical wonders moved into city hall last week to help the tax department staff figure Oshawa residents' tax bills--in a hurry. Tax Collector Clarence Cox says the new tax billing ma- chines will figure and print this year's 20,000 tax bills in half the time previously taken by four, 1982-vintage account- ing machines, A tax bill can be processed in 26 seconds, according to Mr. Cox, and he estimates the two machines will be able to do 1,000 bills each, per day. Thus, all tax bills will be out in about 10 days, versus the 20-day custom - made. The company offers a computer capable of certain standard operations; then, other "abilities'" are built into the machine as called for by the customer. | These machines are capable of computing not only the tax figure, but instalment (five) amounts, discounts and net tax. Several secondary operations are available besides, such as registering local improvement charges, if any, and printing reference numbers on each bill. Tax billing will be done by means of a "continuous form" system. In addition to billing, the computers will do tax post- slow, cumbersome and requires more staff and overtime than will be required if more modern and faster equipment was used." The survey also suggested that an estimated $2,000 to $3,000 could be saved annually in salary and overtime by -use of newer tax billing equipment.
