Loan Schedule Account to be charged to future Rates It will be seen by the
Abstract of the Account, that the Receipts have been large, and the Payments
small during the past year, leaving a substantial balance to carry forward
LOAN SCHEDULE
During the past year, no schedule of works for a loan has been prepared, and
consequently no application made to the London County Council, but on a
previous schedule of sewer works for a loan of £1,855 7s , they have granted
and the Vestry taken up the sum of £1,700
HAMMERSMITH VESTRY
During the year 1890-91 the total sum of £560 17s 5d has been paid to the
above Vestry, being for the year's superannuations to retired officials of the
late Fulham District Board of Works, and for part maintenance of Hammersmith
Road
CONTRIBUTIONS TO LOCAL IMPROVEMENTS
A sum of £100 has been received under this heading during the past year
from the Metropolitan Public Gardens Association, being a contribution towards
the cost of planting trees in the Parish At 25th March, 1891, the sum of
£55 14s 6d had been expended
LOCAL TAXATION RETURNS
Under 23 and 24 Victoria, c 51, and 40 and 41 Victoria, c 67, it is enacted
that every Vestry, District Board, &c , shall make a return annually of the
sums levied or received by or in interest of rates, taxes, &c , and of the expenditure
thereof, to one of Her Majesty's Principal Secretaries of State
Under the above Acts the Statistical Department of the Local Government
Board issue, during the month of July or August in each year, a form
embracing the various heads of receipts and expenditure and of loans, &c ,
employed by local authorities On the 28th of July, 1890, forms (in duplicate)
for the Local Taxation Returns were received by this Vestry, and referred to
me to fill up This was duly done, and on my presenting same to the Finance
Committee, they instructed the Clerk to return the form to the Local
Government Board
PRECEPTS OF CORPORATE BODIES
The Central Boards issuing precepts on the Vestry were the Metropolitan
Board of Works and the School Board for London; now the latter only, as the
precept of the London County Council, the successors of the late Metropolitan
Board of Works, is made on the Guardians of Fulham Union, and so becomes
chargeable on the Poor Rate instead of the Local Rates, as was formerly the
case with the Consolidated Rate The following statement will show the
amounts paid by the Fulham Parish through the late District Board, the
Fulham Vestry, &c , to the Metropolitan Board, over which they had no direct
control
