To save labor hours for reading meters, and to considerably improve the number of cases capable of reading meters, by making data to be collected after sequentially relaying radio means of a plurality of meter reading devices such as meters or the like each having the radio means and for managing used amount or the like such as amount of gas and amount of water or the like.
A meter reading device to be located at the nearest position in distance relating to meter inspection data collecting positions of a handy terminal 3 is previously determined as a first meter reading device "A" and the last meter reading device "Z". A meter inspection data collecting signal and meter inspection data such as used amount of gas etc. is transmitted while relaying from the first meter reading device "A" until the last meter reading device so as to make the positions draw a loop by making the first meter reading device "A" to be a starting position, by making the last meter reading device "Z" to be an ending position, and then from a nearer position to a farther positions and finally nearer position again sequentially.
