SEWERS AND GENERAL RATES.
The statement hereto appended will give the details of the
receipts and expenditure on account of the Sewers and General
Rates.

The total amount collected on the Vestry Rates for the year
Was £66,370 3s. 2d., an increase from the previous year of
£951 18s. 4d.
Of these sums collected by the Vestry as for Poor rates,
large amounts are paid to other authorities for purposes over
which the Vestry has no control. Thus, in addition to the
£43,500 paid to the Guardians, out of which the County Rates
and Metropolitan Asylum Board's charges are paid, there is a
sum of £10,591 11s. 2d. paid to the Commissioners of Metropolitan
Police, and £440 9s. 5d. for Registration, &c., expenses.
From the Sewers rate is paid the Metropolitan Board's
Consolidated rate of £11, 994 9s. 5d. From the General rate is
paid the School Board rate of £13,550 5s. 10d., and the
Toll Bridges Precept of £1,814 3s. 7d. All these charges are
based upon the rateable value of the property according to the
valuation list, and no reduction is made for empty houses, or for
the allowance to owners.
