and time he has devoted to the work, and particularly for the special

the whole, satisfactory, the Board would remind the Vestry that in
addition to the services of the staff the Board itself has sat for the purpose
of this Valuation fifteen times, frequently until a late hour in the
evening ; and (apart from the personal interests of the present Members,
which may be very short), the Board feels it to be its duty, in the
interests of the parish—having regard to the fact that an allovaance to
the Board of Assessors has the sanction of the Local Act of the parish,
as well as of long custom—to recommend that the Resolution of the
Vestry of 27th June, 1889, be revoked or altered so far as it affects an
allowance to the Board of Assessors, and that a sum of £150 for their
expenses during the current year be granted them as heretofore.
All which is submitted.
Signed, on behalf of the Board,
JNO. S. FURLONG,
Chairman.
