* Note.—During the year 1881-2 the Board paid off certain of their
Loans and consolidated and replaced them at a lower rate of interest, and
the sums above stated under the head of "Loans Re-paid and Interest"
for that year include the sums so paid off, in addition to the ordinary yearly
expenditure. The amount of the Loan, £24,800, raised for the purpose of
such consolidation is therefore deducted.
