The total amount collected on the Vestry Rates for the year was
£63,421 6s. 8d., a decrease upon the previous year of £2,215 15s. 9d.
Of these sums collected by the Vestry as for Poor Hates 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 Asylums
Board's charges were paid, there was a sum of £13,380 6s. 10d. paid
to the Commissioners of Metropolitan Police, and £543 8s. 2d. for
Registration, &c., expenses.
From the Sewers Rate was paid the London County Council of
£6,169 4s. 8d. From the General Rate is paid the School Board
Rate of £23,704 8s. 2d,, and the Toll Bridges Precept of £592 12s. 7d.
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.
