| Leaving a Surplus of | £4835 | 10 | 5 |
This Surplus compares favourably with 1896 when it was £2263 9s. l0d.
The Equalization of Rates Act contribution has increased from £4121 0s. l0d.
to £1921 2s. 6d., and the combined Eates levied were £37540 9s. l0d. against
£40096 16s. 4d. in 1895/6.
With regard to the Stocks Ledger we have annexed a list of differences between
the Stock as shewn by the Stock Book and that actually in hand. The net result is
a surplus of £98 8s. 4d.
This is to a great extent due to inaccurate measurement during the year and
inaccurate Stock taking at March 25th, 1896.
We have audited the Overseers' Cash Book and Bate Books and also the Churchwardens'
Charities Account.
We would point out that if any further details of the Vestry's Accounts are
required the Books will furnish them most completely.
We are, Dear Sir,
Yours faithfully,
