We find that the sum of £6183 14 4 has been paid to the
London School Board during the past year, and would wish to draw
the attention of your Board to the serious increase in the amount
levied upon this District, and would recommend your Board to lodge
their protest against the continued extravagant expenditure.
We would further recommend your Board to issue a separate
precept on the parishes to provide for the rate levied by the School
Board, so that the amount that has to be provided for this purpose
may be apparent to the Ratepayers.
