At a Meeting of the Vestry, held on the 18 th
December, 1873.
"The Clerk called attention to the fact that since
"the Vestry had ceased to collect the Poor Rate, which
"duty had reverted to the Guardians or Governors of
" the Poor under the Local Act, and which Board had
"been revived for the purpose in November, 1871,
" there was no Poor Bate 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 Rate Account of the
"Guardians or Governors, as an appendix to the
"Annual Reports of the Vestry.
" It was moved, seconded, and
"Resolved that such suggestion be approved and
"adopted."
(Extract from Board Minutes.)
ROBERT PAGET,
Vestry Clerk.
The Poor Rate Account of the Guardians or
Governors of the Poor, for the year ended Lady-day,
1883, is annexed hereto accordingly.
