Report No. VI.
TO THE VESTRY OF SAINT MARY, ISLINGTON.
Gentlemen,
Your Sanitary Committee Report—
That the works and arrangements indicated in their Report of
the 29th of September, 1881, are now complete in respect to the
temporary Camp Hospital at Finchley, the flooring of the tents
having been stacked and roofed over and the whole of the goods
stored.
The expenditure account for hospital and dismantling purposes
being thus closed, your Committee submit herewith a
summary statement of the whole of the expenses incurred by them,
between the 8th of June, 1881, and the 17th October, 1881,
amounting to £4,885 13s.
Of this sum it will be seen that £3,776 was expended in
obtaining possession of the land and in the more permanent portion
of the works, as also in the purchase of beds, bedding,
furniture, and other necessaries which are now stored upon the
ground and available for future use should such an unfortunate
necessity again arise.
Your Committee have insured the buildings and stores from
fire in the sum of £2,000
Deducting from the £3,776 the sum of £400 paid for the
surrender of the land the difference of £3,376 may be taken as the
cost of the works executed and the property purchased by the
Vestry, and now remaining as stock at Finchley.
