COLLECTION OF MONIES.
During the past year 520 summonses, representing about £24,572, have been
issued to recover the estimated expenses of paving certain roads. I have made
about fifty attendances at the Police Court and Kensington Petty Sessions to give
evidence in support of these summonses. As a result of this, together with the
energetic way in which Mr. Collins has pursued this question, the total sum
of about £26,000 has been collected during the past year.
Much has been said about the state of the finances of this department, and
that we were holding owners' monies and doing no work. We have
been bound down by a resolution of the Vestry which provides that no road
shall be commenced before 75 per cent. of the estimated cost has been subscribed.
Supposing we were collecting in forty roads, and that only 50 per cent. of
total cost of these roads had been subscribed, we should by this resolution
have been debarred from commencing the making-up of any of these
roads, although we might have about £10,000 of the total cost in hand.
