remuneration and the advisability of creating districts or areas for
the purpose of collection.
The Committee of the Whole Board met twice, and at its last
meeting, on the 23rd January, it was resolved to refer to a SubCommittee
to report, so as to enable the Committee of the Whole
Board to deal with the subject under consideration, and as to any
re-arrangement of the division of the Parish for the purposes of
collection of rates.
At the meeting of the Vestry of 21st March it was resolved
that the reference to the Committee of the Whole Yestry be
discharged, and that the Report of the Sub-Committee when
ready be presented direct to the Vestry.
Mr. Henry John Bliss, who had for a very great number of
years been Collector for the South Ward, died in July, 1888, and
pending the existing consideration as to the subject of the Collection
of Rates, Mr. Thomas Bliss, one of the sons of the late
Mr. Bliss, was appointed temporarily to Collect the Rates of the
South Ward.
ANNUAL ACCOUNTS.
The Finance Committee reported that they were of opinion that
1000 copies of the Statement of Accounts prefixed to the Annual
Report should be printed in stitched wrappers, and a copy given
gratuitously to any ratepayer applying for the same. The
recommendation of the Committee was adopted.
MISCELLANEOUS. 1
Two claims have been made for compensation in respect of
alleged accidents from defects in paving, but in neither case could
the claim be entertained.
The Salary of Sanitary Inspector Weston was raised, as recommended
by the Committee, from £120 to £150 per annum, as from
Christmas, 1887.
