At a Meeting of the Vestry, held on the 19th
December, 1893.
"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 has 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 Minutes).
R. E. PAGET,
Vestry Clerk.
The Poor Rate Account of the Guardians or
Governors of the Poor for the year ending Ladyday,
1893, is annexed hereto accordingly.
