The Parish of Saint Leonard, Shoreditch.
IN THE COUNTY OF LONDON.
REPORT OF ASSESSMENT COMMITTEE.
Gentleman,
I have to report that this Committee, which consists of twelve members, was
appointed on the 28th April, 1891, and that I was appointed Clerk thereto, at a
salary of £50 per annum. The Committee held during the year thirty-eight
meetings, and four provisional lists and a supplemental list were made. In
seventeen cases the Surveyor of Taxes inserted in duplicate valuation lists,
amounts which differed from the amounts inserted by the Valuation Committee,
but the whole of the cases were satisfactorily dealt with by the Committee. The
number of appeals heard by the Committee was 885, of which 775 were allowed,
and 110 dismissed. There were no appeals to special sessions against the
Committee's decision, and one by the London County Council, to quarter sessions,
against the totals of the supplemental list, was compromised on terms approved by
the Court. The total gross and rateable values for the purposes of Poor Rates, on
the 25th March, 1892, amounted to £833,118 gross, and £682,476 rateable, and
after deducting the amount to be carried to the City of London in respect to
General Sewers and Consolidated Rates, it left for the purposes of General Sewers
and Consolidated Rates on the date named, a gross of £825,206, and a rateable of
£676,038. The following statements will show the total gross and rateable
assessments effected by the Supplemental Valuation List, 1891:—
