The total amount collected on the Vestry Rates for the year
was £69,095 4s. 0d., an increase upon the previous year of
£743 5s. 2d.
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 £54,500
paid to the Guardians, out of which the County Rates and
Metropolitan Asylum Board's charges are paid, there is a sum of
£11,828 12s. 11d. paid to the Commissioners of Metropolitan
Police, and £590 19s. 1d. for Registration, &c., expenses.
From the Sewers Rate is paid the Metropolitan Board's
Consolidated Rate of £13,336 4s. 4d. From the General Rate
is paid the School Board Rate of £14,242 12s. 11d., and the Toll
Bridges Precept of £1,899 9s. 8d. 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.
