REPORT No. VII.
TO THE VESTRY OF SAINT MARY, ISLINGTON.
Gentlemen,
Your Sanitary Committee Report:—
That they have taken into consideration the two references
made to them by the Vestry on the 9th of December, 1881, in
respect to the Camp Hospital Reports of the 29th September, and
17th October, 1881, and they now re-submit such Reports, with
the summary statement of the expenditure, to the Vestry, except in
so much as they are modified by this Report; and your Committee
state as follows:—
1.—That there are no premises anywhere belonging to, or
under the control of the Parish where the Camp furniture can be
stored or stacked with comparative safety, and without any
expense beyond that of a Fire Insurance "Premium," but, that
having regard to the opinion of the Vestry, they
Recommend, that the Camp be maintained in its present
form for nine months ending 29th September, 1882, at a nominal
estimated cost of £103; of which sum £11 10s. is a liability
already incurred to the Barnet Water Company to Midsummer
1882, and £32 16s. 3d. for nine months rent payable to the
Burial Board, which latter sum will not be an extra charge upon
the rates as it will be returned to the Vestry as a part of the
annual balance of the Burial Board, the actual additional cost for
the care and preservation of the camp and furniture for the nine
months being only £58 13s. 6d.
