PRECEPTS OF CORPORATE BODIES.
The Central Boards issuing precepts on the Vestry, are the
Metropolitan Board of Works and the School Board for London,
the precept for the year 1886-7, of the former, amounts to
£9,626 1s. 4d., equal to a rate of 6.92 in £, this is an increase of
£1,445 4s. 4d. on that of the previous year, and but for the
assessment having increased to the extent of something like
£44,000, being equal to an increase of £184 7s. 3d. on each 1d. in
the £ on rates, would have necessitated a consolidated rate of 8¼d
in the £, the actual result being a rate of nearly ⅜ths of 1d. in the
£ less than 1885-6. The following statement will show the amounts
paid by the Fulham parish, through the late District Board, the
Fulham Vestry, &c., to the Metropolitan Board, over which they
have no direct control,
