PAROCHIAL CHARITIES, PUBLIC BATHS AND WASH-HOUSES, PUBLIC
LIBRARIES, ETC.
On 2nd June, 1896, the General Purposes And Works Committee reported having
??? as to what powers, etc., transferred by the Local Government Act, 189-1, to
Parish Curias, should be applied for by the Vestry.
The following resolutions were then parsed upon the Committee's recommendations:—
(1.) That the Vestry being satisfied with the existing management of the Parochial
Charities, are no adequate reason for depriving the Trustees of the powers
and duties vested in them, and therefore do not desire to take over such
powers and duties.
(2.) That the Vestry being satisfied with the management of the Commissioners for
Public Baths and Wash-house, and for Public Libraries, see no reason to
alter existing control.
(3.) That the Vestry do not consider it advisable to takes any action with reference
to any further powers transferable by the Local Government Act, 1894.
