HAMMERSMITH.
Gentlemen
We have examined the Books of Accounts and Vouchers of
your Board for the year ending 25th March, 1869, and find them correct.
We found a balance in favour of your Board at the commencement of
the year of £2305 15s. 11 ri., and we leave a balance also in favour of the
Board of £938 7s. 3d.
We find at the close of the year there was due to the Board from the
Parish of Fulham
On General Rate £1735 0 0
On Sewers Rate £2146 0 0
On Lighting Rate £61364 0 0
£5245 0 0
And from Hammersmith
On Sewers Rate £3206 4 4
On Lighting £2465 5 1
£5671 9 5
We are grieved to find so large an amount of unpaid Rates, (and
although a portion thereof has since been paid) we suggest to the Board the
desirability of urging upon the Overseers the absolute necessity of a more
speedy settlement of the same in fntnre.
In closing the Audit we cannot help expressing our approval of the
clear and lucid manner in which the accounts are kept, and the credit they
are to the Clerk who keeps them
THOS. DURRAN,
JAMES WI1ICHELOW,
JOHN BLACKFORD, Auditors.
