to a temptation to the Collectors to use the summonses as
a second intimation that the rates are due. We would
suggest that the Collectors should hand over their books
to the Assistant-Overseer, at a date to be fixed by the
Vestry, before the collection for the next quarter has commenced,
and that the issuing of summonses should be left
in his hands, and he should be empowered to employ- the
necessary assistance for the service of the summonses, and
that the arrears should be paid to him, the costs of
summonses being appropriated towards the payment of the
interest on the money borrowed by the Vestry.
We have great pleasure in bearing testimony to the
neatness and accuracy of the books kept by Mr. Berry,
also to the courtesy he has always shown us during the 21
nights we have been engaged on the audit of the accounts.
