At a Meeting of the Vestry, held on the 18th
December, 1873.
" The Clerk called attention to the fact that since the
" Vestry had ceased to collect the Poor Hate, which duty had
"reverted to the Gnardians or Governors of the Poor under
" the Local Act, aud which Board had been revived for the
"purpose in November, 1871, there was no Poor Rate
"Account published, except the remainder of those in
" collection by the Vestry previous to that time, and suggested
" whether it would not be desirable, by an agreement between
" both Boards, to publish the Poor Bate Account of the
" Guardians or Governors as an appendix to the Annual
"Beports of the Vestry, in which case there would be one
" and a-half years' Poor Rate Account to be appended to
" the Report about to be issued for the year ended Lady-day
" last.
" It was moved by Mr. Bamford, seconded by Mr. Dore,
" and—t
" Resolved that such suggestion be approved and
" adopted."
