The School Board precept for the year 1889-90 amounts to
£13,606 2s. 9d., or together with that of the Returning Officer for the
School Board Election the sum of £13,713 7s. 9d.; this is chargeable on
the General Rate and is equal to a rate of 9d. in the £, the amount being
an increase of £2,025 19s. 7d. on the previous year's precept, and allowing
for an increase in the rateable value, of £12,255, as against the increase
last year of £16,782, the Vestry are enabled—in the face of the enormous
increase in the amount of the precept—to only increase the rate by |d. in
the £ on that of 1888-9.
