VESTRY CLERK'S ADDITIONAL DUTIES.
On the twenty-fifth day of February, we forwarded to your Vestry copy of an
order recently issued by the Local Government Board upon this subject, which
in effect has abolished the necessity that formerly existed for the appointment
of an Assistant Overseer, to carry out the duties to be transacted in our offices
in connection with the Local Management rates; and has incorporated the same
with the duties to be performed by the Vestry Clerk, in accordance with the
conditions defined on his appointment in March, 1890.
OFFICE ACCOMMODATION.
Since our last report, the negotiations in this matter have been concluded,
and the sealed agreement of your Vestry has been handed to us, whilst we have
also handed an attested counterpart to your Clerk.
We append hereto copy of the Letter and Order of the Local Government
Board approving our action.
