The Poor Rate for the year was made on a Rateable Value of £'745,223. The Poor Rate was 1/7½ in the £, the General Rate (Local) 1/-, the
General Rate (School Board) 9d., the Consolidated Rate 9d., the Sewers Rate id., the Library Rate ½d., in all 4/2½ in the £. The
Montpelier Square Rate, levied on a small area, was 3d. in the £.
NOTES ON TABLE II.:-
COLUMNS 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7.—These amounts are irrecoverable from causes which are unavoidable so far as the Collectors are concerned.
COLUMN 3.—These amounts represent for the greater part, cases where the original Rate is superseded by larger amounts given in charge on Provisional Valuation
Lists during the year. Such larger amounts are included in the " additions."
COLUMN 4.—These being statutory allowances made by the Vestry are not calculated in the total in Column 10. The two columns, 1 and 10, make up the total in
division III. of Table I.
COLUMN 5.— A very small portion only of this is excused on account of poverty. It includes such cases as where a public-house or other hereditament is rebuilt,
during which a partial occupation of land by a temporary structure is continued, and a part only of the Rate is charged, as ordered in each case by the Committee.
COLUMN 6.—This does not include Government occupations, but represents premises occupied by Ambassadors and Foreign Ministers, and other places exempt by
statute.
COLUMN 7.—Includes losses through death, properties pulled down, &c. COLUMNS 8 and 9.—These represent what may be considered the actual "losses."
Examined and Certified by the Auditon, 10th July, 1889, and Approved by the Finance Committee, 11th July, 1889.
