We see with regret that £3,264 4s. 5d. is outstanding on New Streets
completed, as against £1,981 8s. last year, and would call on the Vestry to
use every endeavour to reduce this amount forthwith; we also notice that
£35,175 2s. 7d. was spent on Paving and Sewer Works, as against
£12,067 6s. 1d. in the previous year, and that the Incidental Charges
Account has been put in a very satisfactory state.
We notice that the Permanent Works Account is overdrawn, £7152 0s. 3d,
at the Bank, principally owing to the large amounts, viz.:-£11,200 18s.
paid for the open space in Crown Road, for which only £5400 loan has
been obtained, and that interest on this overdraft has not been charged
is owing to the New Streets and other accounts being in credit.
With reference to the remarks of last year's Auditors respecting the
overdrawn balance of £6162 19s. 3d. on the Town Hall Account, we see
with considerable satisfaction that the same has now been paid and the
account closed.
We have great pleasure in stating that the accounts have been kept in a
very satisfactory manner, and must thank Mr. R. H. Meyer, the Accountant,
and other Officers of the Vestry for the courteous manner in which they
have assisted us during the audit.
