8 APRIL, 1891. 9

That your Committee resolved to recommend—That a
cheque for £450 be drawn in favour of your Surveyor on
account of labour.
(3) That your Clerk submitted and your Committee considered
an Estimate of the amounts required by the Vestry
for the half year ending Michaelmas day next as follows:
For General Purposes £24,646 9 2
„ Lighting the Hamlet 2,267 14 4
„ The purposes of Sewers 1,882 0 4
£28,796 3 10
whereupon your Committee resolved to recommend—That
the Vestry approve such Estimate, and that a precept be
issued to the Overseers, requiring them to raise and pay
over to the Treasurer of the Vestry the several sums
following at the times and for the purposes following; that
is to say the sum of £21,700 for the General Purposes of the
Vestry, by two instalments, the first of £9,800 to be paid on
or before the 1st day of June next, and the balance of
£11,900 on or before the 4th day of August next; the sum of
£2,100 for lighting the Hamlet, on or before the first day of
September next, and the sum of £2,800 for the purposes of
Sewers, on or before the 1st day of June next.
(4) That your Committee find that the deficiency of
£2,370 9s. 2d. brought forward from the last half year, was
due to the execution of paving works in the Commercial
Road. That the sum in dispute between this Vestry and the
London County Council, with regard to the amount to be
paid by the Council, towards the cost of maintenance of the
Commercial Road, will when received no doubt go a long
way to meet that deficiency, but in the meantime causes
considerable difficulty in making the necessary financial
arrangements for the ensuing half year.
