The School Board Precept for the year 1891-92 amounts to £18,622 4s. 9d.
(exclusive of the Election expenses). This is chargeable on the General
Rate, and is equal to a rate of 10¾d. in the £, the amount being an increase
of £1,710 7s. 8d. on the previous year's precept, and allowing for an increase
in the rateable value of £41,144 as against the increase last year of £12,225,
the Vestry are enabled—in the face of the large increase in the amount of
the precept—to decrease the rate by 5/8 d. in £ on that of 1890-91.
The following statement shows the approximate amounts paid by this
Parish for the cost of Elections, and to meet the School Board precepts,
since its incorporation:—
