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 Loudon 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.
Year ending March.
