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 £48,900 paid
to the Guardians, out of which the County Rate and Metropolitan
Asylum's Board's charges are paid, there is a sum of £ 12,510. 10s. 8d.
paid to the Commissioners of Metropolitan Police, and £687 17s. 5d.
for Registration, &c., expenses.
From the Sewers Rate is paid the Metropolitan Hoard's Consolidated
Rate of £17647. 18s. 4d. From the General Rate is paid
the School Board Rate of £22273 is. 6d., and the Toll Bridges
Precept of £2625 os. 4d. 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, nor for the allowance to
owners.
ASSESSMENT.

It will be seen that very little addition was made during the
last year, and in consequence of a general fall of rents throughout
the Parish the rateable value shows a decrease.
