rate in the£ varied from in 1857, to 3¼d. in 1874, and to 9½d. in 185
The School Board precepts for the year 1895-96 amount
£23,931 16s. iod. This is chargeable on the General Rate, and is equal
a rate of n£d. in the £, the amount being an increase of .£3,086 14s. c
on the previous year's precepts, and allowing for an increase in the rateat
value of £26,887, as against the increase last year of only £13,683, t
Vestry are enabled—in the face of the excessive increase in the amount
the precept, equal to 1½ in the £ on assessments—to make the approxima
rate only 1d. in the more than that of 1804-5
