port. We arrived at the decision after careful consideration
that the Birkbeck Schools Site was an eligible site, havingregard
to the present buildings, areas, and their locality, and
one which might advantageously be utilised for the
erection of Public Baths and Wash-houses for that part of
the Parish.
We submit the foregoing for the consideration
of the Vestry, and invite their opinion thereon. If
in favour of its purchase, we, in pursuance of the
9th and 10th Victoria, Cap. 74, ask the Vestry's
consent to borrow £15,000, to be repaid with interest by 30
yearly instalments, to be secured on mortgage on the Rates
for the Relief of the Poor of the Parish.
We also have to ask the Vestry to make an Order on the
Overseers of the Poor of this Parish for the sum of £100,
on account of the expenses of carrying the above Act into
execution, such sum to be chargeable upon the Poor Rate
of the Parish.
All c f which is submitted. Given under our Corporate
Seal this 6th day of June, 1888.
By order, L- S.
GEO. W. MARSDEN,
Clerk to the Coviviissioners.
