15. East Plumstead Sewer Connections.—The Vestry, by
resolution dated 11th November, 1896, put into operation
Sec. 59 of the Metropolis Management Act, 1862, in regard to
this Sewer, and directed—
"That the connection of all new properties with the East
"Plumstead Sewer which has been made at the cost of
"the owners and occupiers of the particular land included
"in each special benefit rate, be in future granted only
"on condition of the owners of such new properties
"paying one contribution of 5s. in the £ on the rateable
"value of the property erected where the rate levied has
"been equal to or exceeded 5s. in the £, and where the
"rate is less than 5s., one contribution of the same
"amount as the special rate; and that this contribution
"be made in respect of all houses now or hereafter built
"in the special area not included in the special rate;
"such contributions to be carried as a separate fund to
"the account of the precept, and surpluses to be pro"portionately
divided (as often as sufficient surpluses
"arise) between the original contributors as a refund on
"the rates paid by them."
16. East Plumstead Sewer, Special Precepts.—Of the total
cost of this sewer, viz.: £3,588 3s. 6d., the Vestry contributed
£1,001 13s. 10d., which was paid out of a loan from the
London County Council raised for that purpose. Seven Special
Precepts were issued to the Overseers for amounts making up
the balance, viz: £2, 586 9s. 8d., the Vestry being of opinion
that the expenditure was incurred for the special benefit of the
particular parts to which the Precepts related, and directions
were given to levy the amounts on the areas shewn on the
plans accompanying the Precepts.
