REPORT OF THE VESTRY
of the
Parish of Saint James, Westminster,
FOR THE YEAR 1896-7.
Vestry Hall, Piccadilly, W,
July, 1897.
IN accordance with the provisions of the Metropolis
Local Management Act, 1855, the Vestry present the
following Report of their proceedings and an abstract of
their accounts for the twelve months ended the 25th March
last; also a statement of Contracts entered into or in force
during that time, and the liabilities of the Vestry at the
end thereof, together with the Report of their Surveyor
for the same period, and of their Medical Officer of Health
for the year 1896.
Having regard to the fact that the Minutes of the Vestry
are now printed, containing a full and comprehensive record
of the proceedings of the Vestry, and a copy forwarded to
each member of the Board, and bearing in mind that so
few copies of the Annual Report of the Vestry are from
time to time applied for by the Parishioners, it has been
deemed advisable to somewhat curtail the subjects dealt
with in this Report, dealing simply, in as short and concise
a manner as possible, with such questions as may be presumed
to be of general interest.
