The total amount collected on the Vestry Rates for the year
was £74,885 16s. 1d., an increase upon the previous year of
£5,790 12s. 1d.
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 £53,400 paid to
the Guardians, out of which the County Rates and Metropolitan
Asylums Board's charges are paid, there is a sum of £12,242 19s. 11d.
paid to the Commissioners of Metropolitan Police, and £563 12s. 8d.
for Registration, &c., expenses.
From the Sewers Rate is paid the Metropolitan Board's
Consolidated Rate of £13,410 6s. 4d. From the General Rate
is paid the School Board Rate of £16,641 7s. 9d., and the Toll
Bridges Precept of £1,931 3s. 6d. 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.
