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 ratepavers :—
