This arrangement is now being carried out at an expenditure of about £200 per
annum.
We now propose to debit the Stratford and Plaistow Charities with this sum, and
as the funds, as already shown, will amount to £290 or thereabouts, this would leave
a sum of £90 to be dealt with, equal to a further distribution of 69 loaves, making,
with the 150, a total of 219. As to the apportionment of this number we would advise,
having regard to the large increase in the population of the new Districts, that the
following number of 6d. loaves should be given to the respective Churches per week, viz.:
Parish Church 80 increase 2
Holy Trinity 39 ,, 15
Christ Church 25 ,, 13
All Saints 25 „ 13
St. Barnabas 25 ,,13
St. Katharine's 25 ,,13
Total
219 Sixpenny
Loaves.
In conclusion, we beg to assure our fellow Trustees that we have given the subject
our earnest consideration, and sincerely hope the proposed arrangement will merit their
approbation.
We are, Gentlemen,
Yours faithfully,
(Signed), E. RUMNEY SMITH,
FRANCIS T. TALBOT,
Churchwardens of the Parish oj liotlierhithc.
The Trustees having fully considered the above proposals, the scheme was adopted
and has since been carried into effect.
