UTILIZATION OF METROPOLITAN
SEWAGE.
This highly important question has been considered by
the Vestry, with the object of reducing, by the revenue derivable
from the Metropolitan Sewage, our local burthens.
That a Committee was appointed by Vestry, at whose invitation
several Vestries and District Boards in the Metropolis
sent Delegates, to co-operate thereon. Resolutions were
passed by the Delegates, calling upon the Corporation of the
City of London to inquire into the subject. This was duly
responded to, and Memorials were presented to the House
of Commons. A Committee was appointed by the House;
and as a result of their inquiries and evidence taken, a
Report has been made of the utmost value to all Ratepayers
and others, who contribute to the large amount of taxation
levied within the Metropolitan area.
By Order.
THOMAS ROFFEY,
Vestry Clerk.
Vestry Hall,
Kennington Green.
