there were elected by ballot the persons following:—
Town, William, 2, Bayst terrace, Russia lane.

METROPOLITAN BOARD OF WORKS.
The amount required by the Board is £9,452 14s. 4d., being
£571 17s. l0d. more than the amount of the last precept. Hitherto
the precepts of tho Board have been payable by half-yearly instalments,
but they are now and will in future be payable by quarterly
instalments. This will assist in equalising the amount of tho total
rates required for each quarter.
SCHOOL BOARD PRECEPT.
The amount required by the Board to be paid in quarterly instalments
is £8,836 l1s. 10d., being an increase of £94 18s. Od. on the
precept of last year.
NEW CARRIAGEWAY PAYING.
The Vestry have paved with 3×7 granite cubes on a bod of 6-in.
of concrete the carriageways of the following streets:—
Warley street Hart's lane
Columbia road Pritchard's road
Barnet grove London street, Hackney road
Bonner's lane Wellington row
The estimated cost being a little over £14,000, the Vestry borrowed
of the Metropolitan Board of Works £14,000 towards defraying the
cost of the new paving. The loan has to be repaid by twenty equal
annual instalments, with interest quarterly at £3 10s. per cent. Mr.
J. J. Griffiths, the contractor, agreed to execute the work at 17s. 5d.
per yard, and entered into a contract accordingly. The work has been
completed, but not having been measured up the precise cost has not
been finally ascertained.
