Under the provisions of the Local Acts of Parliament relating
to the Parish of St. James, the rates are made annually,
but are recoverable by four quarterly instalments. For the
convenience of Parishioners, however, it has become the
practice to collect the rates in two half-yearly sums.
In view of the increasing demands by central Authorities
over whose expenditure the Vestry does not possess any control,
although for economy in collection the funds are raised
with the local rates, the following statement will be of interest
to ratepayers :—
Total amount expended, £143,781 10s. 8d.
Under control of Local
Authority.
Not under Control of Local
Authority.
