The total amount collectcd on the Vestry Rates for the year
was £6S,351 18s. 10d., an increase upon the previous year of
£1,981 15s. 8d.
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 £51,500 paid to
the Guardians, out of which the County Rates and Metropolitan
Asylum Board's charges are paid, there is a sum of £11,225 10s. 3d.
paid to the Commissioners of Metropolitan Police, and £490 18s. 5d.
for Registration, &c., expenses.
From the Sewers Rate is paid the Metropolitan Board's
Consolidated Rate of £12,464 17s. 3d. From the General Rate is
paid the School Board Rate of £14,140 17s. 0d., and the Toll
Bridges Precept of £1,848 ls. lld. 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.
