The nett charge of £4,135 is £245 in excess of the charge last year. This increase is entirely due to the
depreciation in the price obtained for ashes and breeze. Though about the same quantity was sold this year
as last year, there is a difference in the sum received of £320. The actual expenditure, that is to say, the
sum over which the Vestry has control, is less than last year, being £5,163 as against £5,232.
