It is evident from these figures that there have been no increased rates
levied during the current quarter on the demand of the present
Vestry over the amount required by their predecessors for the corresponding
quarter last year, and that the Vestry's demand for the
year ending 25th March 1896 is only £381 in excess of the demand5
for the preceding year; an amount insufficient to affect the rates
levied.
The Sewer Kate shows an excess of £1,876, or equal to a rate of 1d. in the
£ over the preceding year; but this would have been the same even
if the old Vestry had remained in office, as admitted in a report
presented to the Vestry in March 1894, when the demand for the
year ending 25th March 1896 was adopted, the reduction at that
period arising from receipts of accumulated balances.
