The sum actually required by the School Board
during the Vestry's financial year, therefore, amounted
to about £6650, which, with the expenses of collection,
would represent a rate of very nearly sixpence in the
pound. If this be deducted from the aggregate rate of
2s. 2d. in the £, it will leave 1s. 8d. in the £ as the
sum with which the Vestry has met all its own
liabilities.
When compared with former years, it will be seen
that the Vestry's own expenditure has been remarkably
uniform.
In 1875 the expenditure was equal to 1s. 8d. in the £.

the various street improvements and to the putting into
operation the Artizans' and Laborers' Dwellings Act,
1875.
