OFFICE ACCOMMODATION.
The lease of the late Vestry Offices dated from the 10th August, 1869, at
.£75 per annum, having expired in September, 1889, it was necessary to
continue the tenancy for one year to the 29th September, 1890, for which our
predecessors were unable to negotiate a lower sum than £110, which your
Vestry were good enough to approve, and which the Local Government Board
sanctioned by Order dated 13th June, 1890.
Our predecessors having previous to the 25th March, 1890, given notice to
quit the old Offices at the 29th September, 1890, it became necessary to
negotiate with your Vestry for accommodation in the New Town Hall, upon
which your Vestry resolved that the sum of £150 should be charged for the
Office set apart for our use. We are pleased, however, to state that your Vestry
were good enough to modify your terms.
The negotiations in regard to the dilapidations to which we became liable
were in the meantime pending, and we deemed it expedient to engage the
assistance of Mr. George Edwards, Architect, who, after an inspection of the
premises, with the Landlord's Surveyor, succeeded in obtaining a settlement
for the payment of £150, and Surveyor's fees £15 15s. 0d., to release us from
the liability to make good the old premises under the covenants of the old
lease.
We are obliged to your Vestry for the consideration it has bestowed in
affording us the required accommodation in the New Town Hall, and are
awaiting your pleasure in the matter of the completion of the agreement, and
in order that we may make the necessary application to the Local Government
Board for its approval, we shall be glad to determine the same at an early date.
