GROSS AND RATEABLE VALUE.
Communications were received from several Vestries and
District Boards, suggesting alterations in the Law, and asking for
the Vestry's support. Amongst these was a communication from
the Vestry of Kensington, suggesting the abolition of the distinction
between Gross and Rateable Value.
The Vestry, seeing that this is a question affecting not only
the Metropolis but the entire Country, and that no serious demand
for such an alteration has been made, declined to take any action
in the matter.
