Accommodation for Churchwardens and Overseers.
On the 16th April, 1890, the Yestry, on the recommendation of the Finance
Committee, resolved that the Churchwardens and Overseers be charged £150
per annum as rent, etc., for their proposed offices in the Town Hall, and on the
11th June, the Town Hall Committee reported that, having viewed the new
Town Hall and offices with regard to the accommodation to be offered to the
Churchwardens and Overseers, the room already allotted for the staff of the
Rating Department (to be fitted as per Architect's plan) be set apart for the
Churchwardens and Overseers, and also that they have the use of the SubCommittee
Room for Committee Meetings, the whole at a rental of £80 per
annum, which report was adopted by the Yestry by 30 votes to 10.
The Town Hall Committee having again considered the accommodation to be
provided for the Churchwardens and Overseers at the Town Hall, recommended
the Vestry, on the 9th July, 1890, that the Churchwardens and Overseers be
offered the use of the New Streets Surveyor's Private Office, and the Storage
Room in the basement, in addition to the large room already allotted to them,
for the sum of £80 per annum, and that, in order to carry out the above recommendation,
the rooms allotted to the Accountant be given to the New Streets
Surveyor, and the Accountant placed in the New Streets Surveyor's General
Office; which recommendation was adopted by 16 votes to 3.
At the meeting of the Yestry, held on the 1st October, 1890, the Clerk was
instructed to furnish the Solicitor with the necessary information for the
drawing up of a draft agreement, to be entered into between the Yestry and
Churchwardens and Overseers, with reference to their office accommodation at
the Town Hall.
