means should be devised to dispose of the house refuse than paying 1s. 7d. per
load to Mr. Bagley to create a little mountain, which may in the near future
become a nuisance, to say nothing of the fact that with the amount paid for
shoots, viz., £1,671 18s. 5d., sufficient land could have been bought to have
buried the whole of it.
Looking at the previous Auditors' report relating to New Streets, we have
great pleasure in complimenting the New Streets Committee and Officials on the
manner in which they have reduced the outstanding amount on streets
completed, viz., from £3,634 13s. 2d. to £1,981 8s., including several roads
finished during the year, but we personally know that there are many persons
still, who are able to pay if pressed, and we hope the arrears will be further
reduced during the present year, especially on those roads transferred from the
late District Board five years ago.
We note with surprise that the Town Hall account is overdrawn £6,162 19s. 3d.,
and that this amount does not appear to be owing is due to the fact that on the
Permanent Works account, the other accounts, viz., Property, Improvement and
Wood Paving Loans accounts are in credit to the extent of £11,358 18s. 4d.
Seeing that the vestry now possesses ample strong room accommodation, we
suggest that an iron box should be obtained in which to place the deeds now in
the possession of the Solicitor, together with those in the possession of the Clerk,
and also the guarantee and other bonds in possession of the Yicar.
We wish to place on record that the accounts have been kept in a most
satisfactory manner, and we have to thank Mr. Meyer, the Accountant, and the
other officers of the Yestry for the cheerful and able manner in which they have
assisted us during the audit.
