Annual Accounts.
By the Abstracts and Summaries of the Accounts, which
will be found at pages 16 to 31, it will be seen that the
Precept of the Metropolitan Board of Works for the year
1883-4 amounted to £9,550 : 16s. 1d.
This comprises the expenses connected with Main
Drainage, Fire Brigade, Bridges, Improvements, Sinking
Fund, and the General Expenses of that Board. The
Precept of the School Board for London amounted to
£10,359 : 17s. 4d.
These sums, making together £19,910 : 13s. 5d., are
nearly one-third of the amount raised by the Board under
its precepts.
