The total amount collected on the Vestry Rates for the year
was £75,667 2s. 5d., a decrease upon the previous year of
£3,667 6s. 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 £55,500 paid to
the Guardians, out of which the County Rate and Metropolitan
Asylum's Board's charges were paid, there was a sum of £13,380
6s. l0d. paid to the Commissioners of Metropolitan Police, and
£543 3s. 2d. for Registration, &c., expenses.
From the Sewers Rate was paid the Metropolitan Board's
Consolidated Rate of £19,837 12s. 3d. From the General Rate is
paid the School Board Rate of £21,207 7s. 7d., and the Toll
Bridges Precept of £2,560 6s. 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.
