Vestry Hall Fund.
During the year 1888-9 the interest on the £1022. 9s. 1d., 2f per
cent, Annuities, mentioned in last year's Report, has been invested in
the purchase of additional stock, amounting to £32 13s. 10d., increasing
the total amount of stock held by the Trustees (the Vicar of Fulham
and Messrs. Lammin and King) to £1,055 2s. 11d., as per the Balance
Sheet.
The Vestry have succeeded in obtaining a Loan of £13,400 from the
Metropolitan Board of Works, towards the cost of erecting the new
Vestry Hall and Offices in the Fulham Road, the foundation stone of
which was laid by the Rev. F. H. Fisher, M.A., on the 10th December
last, and the sum of £4,700 has been paid to the Architect and Builder
on account of work done.
Improvement Account.
As stated in my last Report, this Account was opened with a view of
providing for small items of a permanent nature, instead of carrying
them to a Loan Schedule Account to be charged to future Rates. It
will be seen by the Abstract of the Account, that the Receipts have
been very few and the Payments very heavy during the past year, being
principally brought about by the Metropolitan Board of Works, striking
large items out of the first Loan Schedule presented to them.
Loan Schedule.
The following Schedule for a Loan of £5899 15s. 2d., for Permanent
Works carried out and to be carried out, was sent to the Metropolitan
Board of Works on the 16 th October, 1888. viz :—
