"Monkstown Rural Area: From correspondence prior to invoicing, we note that it is anticipated that the final total of consumers in this area will be 676 as against the original estimate of 502. Gross capital cost will have increased by £3,207 and revenue by £514. If these anticipations are realised, the area will show a final return of 11.4%, and will rank amongst the highest in the country."
