REPORT
of the
Proceedings of the Vestry of St. Matthew, Bethnal Green, from the
25th March, 1879, to the 25th March, 1880.
SCAVENGING.
In May tenders for the execution of the work from August, 1879, to
August, 1880, were advertised for, but none were sent except by the
then contractors, and at prices exceeding by £430 the total of the
prices for the year ending August, 1879. The Works Committee
recommended that the tenders should not be accepted, having regard
to the price of provender and to the fact that more of the carriageways
had been paved. The recommendation was adopted, and the
subject of providing for the execution of the work was referred to the
Committee. The contractors then offered to do the work for the year
ending 10th August, 1880, at the same prices as for the year ending
August, 1879. The offers were accepted.
FOURNIER'S CHARITY.
One of the applicants was disqualified by having received parochial
relief within two years. Three other of the applicants had received
the gift before, and a resolution that they be not elected recipients
having passed, their names were not put on the balloting papers.
