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 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-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 Rate Account of the
"Guardians or Governors as an appendix to the Annual
"Reports 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—
"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 ending Lady-day,
1884, is annexed hereto accordingly.
