XXXVI. Assessment Appeals.
The Quinquennial Re.Assessment of the property
in the Parish came into force on April 6th, 1891,
upon a total rateable value of £1,322,982, exclusive
of new property and additions at Christmas, 1890,
and Lady.Day, 1891. With regard to the appeals
pending before the Court at the publication of the
last AnDual Report, the G.as Company's case has
been settled at £16,932, showing a reduction of
£352 upon the rateable value as estimated by the
Parish Valuers. The costs up to and including the
first day of hearing were awarded to the Vestry,
and notwithstanding the above.mentioned reduction,
the Parish has gained considerably on its original
assessment.
The appeals by the Metropolitan Railway Company
and the National Telephone Company are still
pending.
The works, Sanitary and otherwise, carried out
during the year, appear in the Reports of the
respective Officers, hereunto annexed, together with
the Reports of the Burial Board and Commissioners
of Baths and Wash.houses, and such Reports are
followed by the documents required by the 198th
Sec. of the Metropolis Local Management Act.
