The Lighting Rate shows a slight saving in the amount called for,
notwithstanding the fact that upwards of 50 new lamps were erected
during the year, the saving being on the Gas Company's reduction in
the price of gas of 3d. per 1,000 feet.
The Local Sewers Rate is less by 1d in £ than the previous year,
and brought about by the substantial balance the Vestry had in hand
when issuing the Precept.
The increase of a Id. in £ on the Metropolitan Board's Rate is due
to the large excess on their last year's Precept.
With reference to the New Streets' Accounts, during the past year,
there has been received the sum of £'12,149 7s. 7d., on account of
Apportionments made. The amounts still due by contributors, are on
Old Roads transferred to this Vestry by the late District Board of Works
the sum of £370 3s. Gd., and 011 the Streets taken to by this Vestry
during the past two years the sum of £11,419 Os. 7d., making the total
due 011 New Streets to be £11,789 4s. Id. On page No. 58 will be
found a statement of New Streets' Account in detail.
