the quinquennial census, taken on the 29th March last, which
have lately been published, show that the reduction in the
population, although very considerable, was not so great as
had been anticipated, being as under :—
St. Saviour's Parish 12,301
Christchurch „ 13,064
Total 25,365
equal to 5.90 for St. Saviour's and 0.73 for Christchurch, or 6.63
for the whole of the district. The amount of grant receivable
by the Parishes out of the common or so-called equalisation
fund being proportioned to the population, it is important that
the district should be credited with the full number of inhabitants
to which it is entitled, and it is satisfactory to find
that the diminution in uumber is not so great as the Registrar
General had estimated it to be.
PUBLIC CONVENIENCES.
A statement of the receipts and expenditure in respect
of the Public Conveniences at the east end of Southwark
Street, to the 25th day of March last, being the first completed
year since their reconstruction underground in 1894, has been
prepared and will be found at pages 78. A profit of
£60 9s. 6d. is shown in respect of the year's working, after
providing for all expenses, including interest on the loan of
£2,000 raised towards defraying the expenses of the reconstruction
of same.
The new underground conveniences at the west end of
Southwark Street are nearly completed and will shortly be
opened. A loan of £1,760 has been obtained of the London
County Council towards the cost of construction thereof, at
the rate of 3 per cent., repayable by equal instalments of
principal and interest in 30 years. A description of these conveniences
will be found in the Surveyor s report at page 42.
