Note.—The Establishment Expenses of the Board are in the first instance apportioned between the Parish of Lewisham and Hamlet of
Penge, in the proportion of four-fifths to the former and one-fifth to the latter; and such expenses are further apportioned rateably among the
several heads of the Expenditure of the Board in respect of which separate Rates are levied. Thus the Expenditure for the Parish of Lewisham
for the year, under the several heads of General Purposes, Sewerage, Lighting and "Watering, is £7,368 2s. 1d., and the proportion of the
Establishment Expenses payable by Lewisham is £666 12s. The amount chargeable to each head of Expenditure is, therefore, ascertained by
the Rule of Three. If £7,368 2s. 1d. cost £666 12s. to administer, what is the cost of administration of each item of expenditure?
